Mike Brown

Saturday Morning Espresso

November 10, 2012 by Dave Murphy

I was partway through writing the Friday links post when I heard about Mike Brown’s firing. I contacted Darius and we agreed to shelve the links – events were moving quickly and they continued to gather momentum. Mitch Kupchak’s carefully worded press conference suggested due diligence and an examination of the various replacement candidates out […]

In the Wake of Mike Brown’s Firing…

November 9, 2012 by Darius Soriano

The news came quickly and was unexpected to be sure. Mike Brown has been fired and his replacement will be found over the coming days, seemingly from outside the current coaching staff. While I’m conflicted about making an in-season change, I do not think this is an overreaction. There have been circumstances that have limited […]

For Mike Brown, Lakers It’s a Matter of Degrees

November 3, 2012 by Darius Soriano

Mike Brown stands on the precipice. His team, now 0-3, is underperforming not just relative to some of the more optimistic projections but even to those that warned this would take time; that patience would be needed for a team going through the process of implementing a complex offensive system while integrating high profile players. […]

Return Of The Bench Mob?

September 20, 2012 by Darius Soriano

When the Lakers made their surprising run to the Finals in 2008 and won back to back championships in 2009 and 2010, a major key to their success was the play of their bench players. In Lamar Odom, Jordan Farmar, Sasha Vujacic, Shannon Brown, and (to a lesser extent) Josh Powell, the Lakers had a […]

Wednesday Storylines

March 28, 2012 by Dave Murphy

The Lakers needed a win last night to get rid of the taste of Sunday night’s debacle against Memphis. Needed, in the sense of moving past Coach Brown’s fourth quarter benching of his reigning superstar, Kobe Bryant. They got the win, but haven’t moved past a coach’s corrective actions. This time, Brown sat the team’s […]

When Being Amongst The League Leaders Isn’t A Good Thing

January 30, 2012 by Darius Soriano

The Lakers are coming off a nice win over a young, hungry team. The game was hard fought as the Wolves made a furious comeback but the Lakers were able to hold on down the stretch and pull out the win. Considering the Lakers need every win they can get, in a conference where a […]

Mike Brown Talks, We Listen. But Will The Players?

September 16, 2011 by Darius Soriano

One of the ongoing topics of discussion this off-season has been what the Lakers offense will look like next year. The perception that Mike Brown isn’t the most creative tactician on that side of the ball has only fueled this discussion. Here at FB&G, we’ve discussed it from a variety of angles, others have broken […]
