Byron Scott is a terrible coach

[Godzuki]

say what you want about the Lakers roster and Kobe being hurt, but dude has failed everywhere he's been. in fact every time he's taken over the team has gotten worse than before him. hopefully they're just keeping him around to tank the season and finding a decent coach once they get a lottery pick. he was also overplaying Kobe until Kobe hit that wall where his body gave out. a good coach would've forced Kobe to pace himself.

ever since Jerry Buss died, the Lakers front office is too loyal to their has beens. it feels like even Kupchak was masterminded by Buss :pimp:

Well Hollins did well in Memphis and Rivers won a championship a while ago so that's how they got thir jobs. Byron played for the Lakers and Fisher played for Phil so thats how they got their jobs.

[Dragic4Life]

excuses

[Lebronxrings]

except he isn't. Quit with the excuses.

Ya, what a horrible way to hire coaches. Other than rivers who got carried, these guys havent done jack shit. Aslo ruvers cant even get out the second round and that wont change anytime soon

Lakers are tanking for a few years, that is the only reasonable explanation for giving Kobe such a big contract... it will mean they won't win chit for a few years, getting good picks, and kobe stans can't moan at management because they know its Kobe fault.

And B, it will help attract superstars when Kobe retires in a couple of years, because they see how nice the Lakers have been to their senile star.

Good thinking by the lakers to top it off with a terrible yes man coach

[AnaheimLakers24]

No need to get mad. For These next few years, will still be posting 5> 2*

All good

Exactly, Kobe stans don't give afck how the lakers are doing :lol

[DukeDelonte13]

Byron couldn't have been a more terrible coach selection for the cavs... granted he was signed not knowing he would coach a young rebuilding roster but still.

Cavs were the worst defensive team in the league for two straight years. Kyrie, who even backed Mike Brown, refused to back Byron Scott.

Beat writers said that the cavs literally had no defensive system, and they never worked on defense period.

He would constantly let teams go on 20 point runs and just stand there with his arms crossed.. he would NEVER call timeouts. He's too old-school to a fault.

[AnaheimLakers24]

2016 boy. Just wait :)

Also do you even kniw what team bran is on right now? :roll:

What do you expect to happen by 2016? :oldlol:

[AnaheimLakers24]

A lot. Most importantly, maybe we wull have a white coach

Probably kobe's retirement and official commencement of his fade to obscurity.

[Le Shaqtus]

Probably kobe's retirement and official commencement of his fade to obscurity.

That would help you sleep at night wouldn't it?

[KungFuJoe]

BS is bad. In every way. During games and how he treats his players in front of the media and personally.

[Magic 32]

Benching Young, Boozer and Lin.

Ok in my book. Just a little slow.

[FKAri]

I think if you have "Scott" in your name, you're a terrible coach.

[Magic 32]

He is still better than the team he is coaching.

1. Nick Young is shot 32.6% from the field since Christmas Day.

2. Before the Knicks game Jeremy Lin had not grabbed a rebound in 98 minutes.

3. Sacre is averaging 2.6 ppg when he plays between 7 and 15 minutes.

it's simple Scott and the Lakers are looking for players that give effort, if you play hard and produce on some level you'll get minutes.. if you don't you won't... All these guys are now on a game by game audition for the rest of the season. Lakers are looking at who'll be coming back next year, they can give a sh*t about who's feelings are getting hurt


young has been slacking off on defense all season and his FG% has taken a sh*t.. He doesn't deserve to be on the floor

Lin.. meh he seems to be marching to linsanity and not what Scott wants.. maybe Lin isn't capable of playing team ball but he's not coming back anyways.. maybe on a MLE level contract, anything else is overpaying him

Sacre...lol he's big and he tries hard but he's just not very good, somethings effort alone can't overcome, Sacre seems to be that kind of guy... Maybe a couple more years he'll get up to speed but right now I'm not sold...


Add it's funny how here on ISH so-called laker fans give Scott shit for not playing players x,y and z but then turn around and sometimes on the very same night will complain about him if the win a game or if they lose they're happy the tank is on...lol

It's clear lot of Laker fans here are just idiots... I hope they jump off the bandwagon and go find some other team to suck on

the Lin only fans are the worst, the sooner Lin is gone the better of Laker nation will be

[coin24]

Probably kobe's retirement and official commencement of his fade to obscurity.


:cry:

How mad does it make you that lawd GodBe will be remembered and loved by all after he retires:lol

[MiseryCityTexas]

Cp3's Hornets woulda been a much better team under a different coach, because they weren't a really bad team on paper. (CP3, Tyson Chandler, young prime David West, JR Smith)

This.


I personally think Byron's done an ok Job considering what he's had to work with.

This thread should be about Doc Rivers uncanny ability to underachieve with great rosters.

Clips have the fourth best record in the NBA. DJ is a glorified dunker. Blake disappears in the fourth quarter. Crawford plays no D. CP3 is the only guy pulling his weight on that team, imo.

Cp3 will top it all off by making sure they get eliminated in the second round tho. :oldlol:

Guy's a bona fide choker and he gets more passes than Tim Duncan despite not being a winner.

JR and Tyson never played together.

The core of Chandler/West/CP/Peja was only remotely healthy 1 season and that's the one where they made noise. Not saying Byron was a good coach but besides Paul and West he had absolutely nothing to work with during most of his tenure

:facepalm :rolleyes: :facepalm

you need to go back into history and see he coached a two time finals team - Nets.


Lakers have a bunch of D-league roster players.... do the Laker fans think Phil Jax , could take this group to the promised land :no:

actually lin gives a lot of effort he just sux more often than not.

Scott makes horrible coaching decisions almost every game. anyone who really thinks he's a decent coach definitely aren't watching their games. mf'ers can keep making excuses for him blaming the roster, purposely tanking, etc. but dude was garbage when he's taken over almost every team he's had a chance on.
