Can't win if you give up 68 in the first half?
Yes...
How will you change your scheme?
Well we gotta be better on defense..
Is that how the line of questions normally go for D'Antoni

I don't understand why everyone is expecting an amazing defensive team to emerge from this Laker squad... from the moment they brought in Nash and decided not to upgrade/change at SF and PF (Artest and Gasol), they were bound to be a pretty poor defensive team. Howard was never going to change EVERYTHING with the lineup(s) that they roll out.
Who do you all really expect/think is going to be playing competent defense on this team?
- Howard? Yes (and he does).
- Kobe? Sort of (he has been playing as bad of defense as anyone, though).
- Artest? Yes (but here he is getting torched by Melo (NOT just on the 3's), and basically is not remotely close to the defender he used to be).
- Gasol? No.
- Nash? No.
- Jamison? No.
- Blake? No.
- Duhon? No.
- Hill? Yes (but undersized).
- Ebanks/Clark/Sacre? Who cares.
I guess I'm just not seeing where any defense is going to come from (at least from an individual standpoint... from a team standpoint, there just aren't enough "decent" defenders to even expect that they can find a way to play decent team defense)... even if D'Antoni starts "preaching" defense.

Been saying this for the longest why did they keep the last coaching staff from MIke Brown? THe only reason i can tell is that they are already paying Brown his money they did not want the rest of that money just sitting around like him.....

I'll say this when you're down 17... It's not impossible..
But you need a 5 minute run of flawless basketball.
To put it within striking distance for the 4th

The lack of good guarding point guard has been hurting us for the last 6 or 7 years...
I wish we could just get a lock down point guard, who only knows how to enter the ball into the low post and defend, that would be so amazing...
