Mike D'Antoni is the wrong choice for the Lakers

by Ryan Henry

As, Jerry Buss gets ready to unveil his new toy, I have some bad news for him.

Mike D’Antoni is a terrible fit for the LA Lakers.

Everybody was so ready for the Lakers to, yet again, announce Phil Jackson as the coach of this year’s new super team that nobody thought about any other options. Apparently the Lakers forgot to do that as well.

For the uninitiated, D’Antoni made his name with the 2004-2005 Phoenix Suns. Having just acquired Steve Nash (now of the LA Lakers), D’Antoni in his first full year installed the “Seven seconds or less” offense. Nash directed the Suns to the top offense, an MVP trophy and D’Antoni to a NBA Coach of the Year award. He won 50 or more games in four consecutive seasons before leaving for the New York Knicks. He promptly experienced the first two losing seasons

Drinking Games: Lakers vs Clippers

Here is a list of 5 great drinking games for tonight's Lakers vs Clippers preseason match-up

1. Alley-Oop - Take a shot every time Chris Paul throws an alley-oop dunk to Blake Griffin. Be warned, this could be a long night
2. Star Gazer - Take a shot every time they show a celebrity in the crowd. This is only for people with a high tolerance level
3. Say My Name - Take a shot every time the broadcast mentions "Dwight Howard" or "Lamar Odom". Depending on the score late in the game, this may get you trashed.
4. I'll Pass - Take a shot every time Kobe passes the ball. Great game for light drinkers.
5. I'm too old for this - Take a shot every time Chris Paul makes Derek Fisher look like father time. This is also for high tolerance level drinkers. Enjoy and drink responsibly.
