The legend of Mike Dantoni's bad defense is debunked. Mike D'Antoni May Be Second-Best, But He Can Lead the Lakers - The Triangle Blog - Grantland "With that said"... Bottom line...
I watched the D'antoni coached Lakers tonight.....they looked dreadful losing 79-77 to the Pacers and it did not really appear to be that close until they finally tied the game 72-72 via an 8-0 run with 2 minutes left. Kobe was playing with the flu and had a triple double...40 pts, 10 boards and 10 TURNOVERS..... Yep Kobe 40, rest of the team 37 The Laker bench will be their downfall this season as they shot 2-15 from the floor and had 5 points. Not to be outdone...Laker starters Gasol, Morris and World Peace were 3-23 from the field. (Kobe and Howard were 19-38 from the floor Let's talk about free throw shooting....23-43 from the line with DHoward missing 9... D'antoni 2-3 Bernie Bickerstaff 4-1 Mike Brown 1-4 Overall record 7-8
