    Honestly, how do you not fire D'Antoni at this point?

    It just keeps getting worse by the night.

    How much did they have to pay Mike Brown when they fired him? And how much would they have to pay D'Antoni if they fired him?

    And it all comes back to.....why didn't they just hire Phil Jackson?

    The younger Buss hates Phil, so apparently everyone is going down with his ship.

    Frankly, I'm stunned Phil even wanted the job. I don't think anyone could coach this team away from the abyss.

    They gave him a 4 year guaranteed contract like 2 months ago. OOPS!

    How will a new coach make it better? Maybe it hasn't occurred to people that Dwight Howard is very overrated

    Maybe its not the coach that's the problem?

    Maybe its the players on the court?

    That's what I keep asking myself. How would this team be doing with Phil? And is this team that much different from the previous LA teams he coached. I know most of their stars are older, but I think Dwight, Pau, Nash and Kobe would have fit in the triangle just fine.

    Already committed and then they'd have to eat some major crow if they fired him. Not sure if those egos can handle that.

    Plus it's not like they can bring in Phil now. Team is hopeless.

    This coaches game style is not suited to an old team.
