"The Los Angeles Lakers, in a surprising move, announced Monday morning that they have signed former Phoenix Suns and New York Knicks coach Mike D'Antoni to replace Mike Brown as head coach.
D'Antoni's has a four-year contract, his agent, Warren LeGarie,
confirmed late Sunday night, several hours after the Lakers beat
Sacramento 103-90 for their second straight win under interim coach
Bernie Bickerstaff." - Information from ESPNLosAngeles.com's
Thank God! D'antoni to handle the "All-Star" team, must be christmas for all you Laker fans. Listen here, D'antoni sucks as a coach. Last March he resigned as head coach from the Knicks because he couldn't win. He had a similar all-star lineup (not as good as the lakers, but not awful) to deal with in NY and proved that "no matter who is on your team, you can still lose." Do I think D'antoni has the secret formula for LA? No. Do think he can be successful, yes. Everybody needs to slow down in the NBA. Yea the Lakers started slow, but they're 3-4 now and still have quite a few more games. It's only a matter of time before they start meshing. So as much as I hate to say it, D'antoni might actually do well in LA, I mean I could coach that team but whatever. Either way get your shit together Mike, you got the Spurs tomorrow.
P.s. how psyched do you think the players are now that there coach isn't a guy called "Bernie Bickerstaff" now.
"Hey, Dwight. How's your coach?"
"Oh, Coach BICKERSTAFF, he's real swell!"
