Great point of view！

You have really good understanding on "Triangle Offense"！
But I really in doubt that Lakers，that adopt this form for nearly 10 years (since KFC on board)，with no major people movement，can change their way of playing just because of a "defensive" coach arrival？

Besides，what the way Mike Brown lead Cavs (nearly "rambo" play by LBJ) will easily be repeated in Lakers，when "big brother" Bryant in team...

They are really hard to make good result！

INO，Mike Brown 唔難聞到魷魚香！

Totally agreed!! And I can't believe people keep bringing up how the Lakers got Gasol from the Grizzlies, while hardly anyone mention how the T-Wolves literally GAVE away KG to the Cs in the summer of 2007.

Regardless, there is just no real good coaches out there without a job anyway, so giving Brown a shot at the job isn't an entirely bad move at all. My only concern is would this move upset Kobe, or some of Phil's former assistant coaches, especially Shaw. All in all, if Brown doesn't work out, and/or if the Cavs suck bad this upcoming season that lead to Scott's firing. I wouldn't be surprised if Byron Scott would eventually be brought in as the Lakers' head coach one day.

Another point would like to mention is，
LA "Show-Time" basketball is an "Defensive" one and they score every match well lower than 90...

(現場啲明星觀眾會唔會 "her" 爆呢？)

When you refer to "Show Time", did you mean the 80's Showtime era with Kereem and Magic? If so, they were a run-and-gun offensive team that also played GOOD defense, unlike the Suns or the Nuggets in earlier this decade. That kind of run-and-gun team with good defensive ability hasn't been around anymore...

Agreed！80's Lakers is a well balanced team！
However，what Mike Brown's way (as seen in LBJ's CAVs) is another story；
I can only say they are，comparatively speaking，not aggressive... even a little bit boring！

(IMO，KFC's Lakers team can play very good defense，IF THEY MENTALLY WANT TO PLAY SO！)

Either way, I cannot wait for this Finals to start... by the way, f-ing TVB, like what they have been doing over the years, will ONLY broadcast those games live; and I don't see them re-playing them later at night according to their programming schedules. Geez... some of us have jobs during the day...

ya, i also cannot see finish the game.. most is see 3 quarters game only

bbzai5

i didn't manage to see 2nd half game. but from 1st half, i can see this series is a 50:50 game
i hope dirk's left middle finger injury won't affect him that much like to manu ginobli earlier.

Dirk is a tough guy, he should be ok. Then again, Kobe has TWO bent fingers, and he still managed to win two titles, I think Dirk can do just as well.

HighlanderZ

RIP Shaq... no, wait, he isn't dying, he is just retiring!!  Geez... I guess I will need to sometime to get used to the NBA without Shaq.

By the way, hey Pippen, you are on your own! LBJ the greatest ever? You are nutz... now not even Kareem and Isiah Thomas agree with you.

HighlanderZ

Lol @ the Heat! Leading the Mavs by 15 pts with 7:44 left, LBJ celebrated and all... guess what? They choked the rest of the way, and ended up giving game 2 away. The next 3 games are all in Dallas, so good luck but I don't think the Heat can win 2 out of 3 there. So go Mavs!!

兵家大忌就是『被勝利沖昏頭腦』！
抵熱水輸！恭喜小牛逆境自強！

One thing I am pretty impressed with Mark Cuban (Mavs' owner) is that, he has been keeping his mouth shut thus far! It is quite hard to do for such a talkative guy as we know him over the years.

On another note, Donnie Walsh has officially left the Knicks as team president... oh please, I hope they DO NOT, specifically owner James Dolan, bring Isiah Thomas back.

HighlanderZ

I am just talking non-sense here (I know)... now that Shaq has retired, I wish NBA Entertainment would just come to their senses, and re-release boxsets of the Lakers' championship games (in their entirety) on Bluray. I would so buy that set in a heart beat and re-live those moments!
