Shannon, I understand your posting of the bench/role players as to why should he run a rotation, but that is the problem. If you have a bad bench, should you not work around it? Are there a lot of good benches out there? Not really.
Well, when you have 4 HOFers, why would you run 1 out on the floor with FOUR scrubs (Dwight + 4) then end the quarter, and come back with 1 other starter and again, FOUR scrubs? (Pau + 4 )
Could you not, iono, mask that by using Dwight + Nash and then 3, or Dwight + Kobe and then 3? (I know, Nash has been out, I'm speaking to the games where all 4 played, that was his rotation each game, to sit 3 of them at a time)
Having a bench doesn't mean the entire bench has to play as one, and this was what Phil was awesome at. He would move pieces in and out of the lineup, using his bench, but never putting the team in harm's way in terms of long runs and what not with 5 Buechler's and Kerr's and Purdue's, etc. Same thing he did in LA.
Mike Brown, for some reason, did not understand this. He thought Jordan Hill shooting jumpers, Jamison playing out of position, Artest playing out of position, and Darrius Morris playing PG all at the same time was a fun idea.
Hopefully, the next guy we get can mix and match a rotation better than MB did.

Mehmet Okur retired today. Good player over the years when he wasn't injured.

Former Magic coach Stan Van Gundy called the Lakers' firing of Mike Brown, "the most ridiculous firing in the history of the NBA."

Lol I live in L.A. I am not a laker hater, I have no personal allegiance to the Lakers. I could careless if they win it all, or don't make the playoffs. I legitimately don't care.
Wrong is wrong.
You can't give a guy a new team with new pieces, pieces that don't even mesh well on paper, then have half those pieces be out injured, and expect it to work so soon.
And by soon I mean 5 games.
It's mind boggling that you can sit here and say that you expect everything from the rotations to the win columns to be A1 this early into the season. It doesn't happen like that. Naturally, it's going to be an adjustment period.
And you can't evaluate how well that adjustment period is going after 5 games. Period.

Quick question. Were you for spoelstra being fired after the Heat's 9-8 start in 2010-2011? Just curious.

Lol my man mike brown..... Feel kinda bad for the guy but not that bad. Honestly I think Howard will bounce ASAP, Nash is not even a factor, Pau is hit or miss with production, and Kobe is an A Hole.... Lakers are in shambles. More room for OKC wins
