No ISO?...There weren't called plays but Henry as well as Meeks were going one on one when they got the ball...But this was more about the Clippers than it was about the Lakers..

after 1 game you got that covered?

My take is Blake Griff is over rated!

But back to the subject, the first 10 games really are "preseason" and the teams getting the timing/chemistry thing down. Pre season is a small sample.

MDA is very good at squeezing his type of players into a good team. Not a great team.

Really, the window they had last year was only if they had a 100% nash heading into the last 20 games of the season. Once they starting getting hurt the window closed. Im not sure PHil Jax could have taken that team far.

And.............if you really think about it, We are not sure Dwight would have stayed, we did not know Kobe was going to blow his heel out and if Phil Jax had this current roster how interested would he have been? While he was offended he was not given the chance to say yes or no, im not sure him rebuilding the current team would have suited his stature.

only he can say.

Anyway if MDA can get this team to .500 plus he will have done a good job.

Yeah last year Bynum couldn't bowl without hurting himself. This year he is going to play against Bropez on opening night. Hey, must be the money.

Who breaks down first, Bynum or Oden?
