Brown is a great defensive coach and a good motivator. In cleveland he never had complete control I dont think, and I'm not sure how that will change with Kobe.Having said that, Brown has more to work with in LA; hes got versatile bigs, and I don't think he'll have to do a one man offense like he did in CLE. And Kobe isn't really built to do what Bron did in CLE anyway. I think we may all be surprised at what type of offense tr lakers run; their defense gonna be sick though

I think we may all be surprised at what type of offense tr lakers run; their defense gonna be sick thoughThe thing is, the Lakers had a pretty good defensive squad during their championship run. This year they had virtually the same team (+ Matt Barnes). Their problem is they have a lot of players who don't lay it on the line every play, on D. And that's starting with their leader Kobe. They REALLY need to find a PG imo cus as long the old man and Blake are out there you will be having opposing PGs getting into the lane.
Shaw is done with the Lakers, management has decided to move in another direction and is done with the triangle/Phil Jackson era...i didn't want Brown to be our coach, but that doesn't mean I can't see this working. Mike Brown took the worst team to the Finals out of all the teams that have ever made it there. He's also a great defensive coach and will let Kobe do a lot of the coaching, which is exactly what I liked about Brian Shaw. I can't lie, though, I wanted Shaw over all the candidates, but this could definitely turn out to be good.
i always said that team had no business being in the finals and that lebron had an easy road there that year... and kobe's game is not even built for a triangle offense, so this should work in his favor as opposed to working against him.

When he first came in the league he'd try to go 1 on 5 and I think the triangle helped him much in the same way it helped Jordan, made him a more balanced player and forced him to share the game with the team. The Lakers are really gonna miss Phil Jackson, and having Shaw run the team would of been the next best thing. So now I guess they are done with that era... So now they are gonna need a big superstar addition like Dwight Howard if they expect to get back to the Finals.
Kobe won't ever win again.
