Aaron is simply annoying. It’s like talking to a know it all kid who thinks everyone is wrong but him.

If you know so much, why aren’t you coaching or doing something better with your time or winning to lotto with your telepathic abilities.

Travis,
Do you think Phil last year thought Walton gave the Lakers a better chance to win than Ariza did? Do you think Phil is that bad of a talent evaluator? What is more likely?… That Phil thought Luke was a better player and a better fit with the starters than Trevor or that Phil, in wanting to secure team chemistry, doesn’t like to bench Lakers veterans and would rather not risk players picking sides… so he waits for the player to give up his role. I would probably say the ladder considering Jim Clemmons has already said as much on the record.

You can make quick and cute comments like that… but it doesn’t make them right.

The only way for the comment to be wrong is if you truly do know what Phil is thinking. In which case you should be earning a fortune showing off your telepathic talents on a talkshow of your choice, and not waste your time here in a blog comments thread.

Your comments are funny when you stick with actual facts and discuss them. When you try to be cute you become annoying.

Kurt,
You can make quick and cute comments like that… but it doesn’t make them right. Most people also think Phil doesn’t like calling timeouts because he likes to let his team figure it out by themselves. That is only a small part of it and that is what he tells the press because he doesn’t want to give away tactical tools to other coaches. The main reason he doesn’t call timeouts in the middle of large runs is because he feels that timeout break will let the other team reenergize after exhausting a lot of energy to make the before mentioned run. Often times Phil won’t call a timeout and the other teams tank will go to empty and the Lakers will come right back with they’re own run. It is the same reason after a large Lakers run Phil will call a timeout when he sees the Lakers losing energy at the end or near the end of they’re own push.

So don’t be so sure next time… xoxo

DJ Mbenga also injured: http://www.dailynews.com/ci_13745127?source=rss

This injury trend is starting to worry me a little bit.

just a hunch, but I would tend to believe that Fish is the starting PG because Phil thinks that his savvy and consistency gives us the best chance to win every night. And not just because Fish wants to start.

Aaron doesn’t need to read minds, he just makes assumptions about how you and I and Phil feels and thinks about everything.

As in the “If you think that Fisher is better with starters over Brown = you think Luke & Vlad is better with starters than Ariza.”

I don’t even understand that logic, if Fish is better than Brown = Luke/Vlad is better than Ariza. It’s like saying if an Orange is sour than an Apple must be sour.

But Aaron knows all. Aaron is always right and never wrong. If you disagree then you must think that the world is flat too because you obviously don’t know any better.

Breaking news from LATimes…Phil will not bench Fisher! Fisher to start until he retires or until he turns 40 whichever comes first!

Aaron, you do not know what Phil thinks. Of that I am sure.
