    Why are you so angry? Did Bynum take your girl? Hit a little too close to home? Perhaps when you get past puberty you will come to realize that rooting for professional athletes with good character. heart or whatever else non basketball trait you project on them will only leave you disappointed. The Rockets are not unique special snowflakes sent down from heaven to make you feel good for rooting for mediocrity. They are just men like anybody else. Millionaires with fame, fortune, women and with little regard for you or your family. Wake up.

    And, you keep asserting that Mike Brown wasn't a bad offensive coach; he WASN'T the one doing the offensive schemes; Kuester was. Coincidence (according to your link)?

    What difference does it make? The Lakers have both coaches either way. The Cavs offense performed great given the talent level on the squad and equally as good as the offensively stacked Lakers vs the Magic and the Celtics in the playoffs . Look up the numbers if you don't believe me. I'm surprised people haven't figured out a way to blame Mike Brown for LeBron's offensive abomination in the Finals this year.

    The difference is that he shouldn't be credited for Kuester's work on the offense (although he has been by you)?

    You're assuming talent is equal on both sides of all trades. We clearly got more talent from the trade.

    I don't know if Morey would go after Bynum, but I wouldn't want that prick on my team. That was just embarrassing what he did to Barrea this year, and it's not even the first time. If the Lakers are building around Bynum, then they're in trouble. Not just because he's a prick, but also because he can't carry that team.

    You remind me of the Miami Heat "fanboys" during the playoffs. Go ahead and keep arguing. During the next NBA Finals (whenever that is), you'll be in the same position as us Rockets fans: Watching two OTHER teams play for the NBA championship. Without some sort of major roster shakeup, the Lakers will decline next season. Since you don't seem to realize that, I'll enjoy your disappointment.

    Rockets fan: Mike Brown is a liability on offense and will destroy the Lakers
    Me: The Cavs had a great offense
    Rockets fan: Thats because of Kuester
    Me: The Lakers hired Kuester too
    Rockets fan: But he's not Mike Brown

    :confused:

    How does Mike Brown go from the leader of a weak offense to a non factor for a great offense in about 10 posts? You Rockets fans need to get on the same page. If he has nothing to do with the Cavs offense then why mention his offensive role at all. His impact if that was true would be nothing. Not good nor bad.

    Its not an argument. Rockets fans are taking turns making silly unsubstantiated comments and I keep hitting them out of the park . N

    Don't blame me; you mentioned it first!! And the Cavs' offense was only as good as it was because of LeBron James (he was allowed to basically be #1 and run the entire team).

    What's wrong with that? LOL. Mike Brown has the be the only coach in basketball history who is criticized for focusing his team's offense on his best player without any other star players on the roster.

    Newsflash Kobe Bryant is one of the most elite players in the history of the game he was a million times better than Andrew Bynum will ever be at the age of 24. And some of those accolades you mentioned are partially given because of his persona and lifetime achievement. Let me tell you Kobe was no way All-Nba first defense worthy this past season.

    So are you trying to justify the trade of Pau Gasol, an all-star 7 footer, as only worth a 2nd round pick, 48th overall(Marc Gasol was unproven and not that highly touted) and an expiring contract...:p

    Only because that "great" offense you tout was continually exposed in the playoffs by the likes of the Pistons, Celtics, Spurs, and Magic.

    Its what happens to every offense when they face a great defense in the playoffs. It happened to the stacked Lakers offense as well. If thats the standard Mike Brown is supposed to be held too, then you are going to have ether 99% of the coaches in the league.

    That's just an excuse; keep using the old straw-man argument because you're not getting anywhere by talking about the Phil Jackson-Lakers.

    I'm pretty sure you don't know what this means.
