never thought brown was the right man for the job. now we need to get rolling with a better offense to fit the this team.

I love listening to Stephen A Smith, the brother tells it like it is and he is absolutely right. on talking on this issues

I knew this would happen soon, I have said from day 1 when they acquired Nash and Howard, that they had to implement an offensive scheme that these guys and the rest of the Lakers can gel in. I feel bad for the guy you never want to see anyone lose their job, but he would have messed up a golden opportunity for this team to possibly win a world championship. Howard is not signed for next year, he may not come back. The Lakers have to go out and get the job done because time is a factor. I am just glad that we won't see the Harvard/Princeton upgraded offense anymore. The Lakers will figure this out soon and get back on track, there is still a long way to go

Los Angeles Lakers coach Mike Brown has been fired after a 1-4 start to the season, a source tells ESPNLosAngeles.com's Ramona Shelburne.
It is not known yet who will take over for him, but a source indicated that one of assistant coaches Bernie Bickerstaff or Chuck Person will take over on an interim basis.
Earlier Friday, sources had told ESPN.com's Marc Stein that the team was using its upcoming six-game homestand to evaluate Brown, but after numerous discussion over the past 48 hours, Lakers management came to a unanimous decision that the team wasn't heading in the right direction.
The Lakers have had a healthy Steve Nash in the lineup for only 1½ of their five games so far thanks to a leg injury, while fellow newcomer Dwight Howard has acknowledged that he's still recovering from the back surgery that brought a premature end to his 2011-12 campaign and knocked him out of the London Olympics. Kobe Bryant has also been playing through a foot ailment.
The Lakers are off to the worst start in the Western Conference despite carrying the league's largest payroll at just over $100 million, which would trigger an estimated luxury-tax bill at season's end of nearly $30 million.
The team has also been trying to institute a form of the Princeton offense, a system that relies on reads and ball sharing in order to take some offensive load off Bryant. The results have been mixed so far.
