D'Antoni talks Lakers
Posted by Unknown on Monday, August 19, 2013 with 12 comments
The upcoming NBA season presents the opportunity for coach Mike D'Antonio to have his first training camp/full season with the Los Angeles Lakers. Recently D'Antonio spoke of the possibilities that the 2013-14 Lakers can achieve.
‘We’ve definitely improved our shooting and I think the chemistry will be better just because the uncertainty has gone away,’ D’Antoni said. ‘A lot of people will know their roles better and what’s going on on the floor better. Dealing with free agency day to day, we won’t have those problems.’
‘We’re real excited about some of the possibilities and trying to develop some guys that will turn into good players,’ D’Antoni said. ‘It’ll be good for them, good for the Lakers. It’s always exciting to have young guys like that who are willing to learn, willing to work hard.’
‘I think we can be better because I don’t think we reached our potential last year. Our lack of defense came mostly from lack of energy from guys that didn’t feel right in their place on the team. Defense is energy, concentration and the desire to do it. If something is sapping that energy — distractions, injuries, not feeling good about the team — then you’re not going to put your heart and soul into it and it comes out on the defensive end. They just didn’t feel each other.’

I'm sold, because of the facts he brought up I think they'll do a lot better than what most give em. Just sweat it out for the city & ball hard for they fans is all they gotta do
ReplyDeleteFor a guy who don't coach defense like sum of these clowns like to say, he damn sure making sum good points. D12 is probably the best defensive player n the game and we sucked on that end last year , I really don't c how our defense could get any worst. He's got a better coaching staff around him too this season which I think will make a big difference. And personally I love this underdog shit, us laker fans don't get to play that role to often. Can't wait until the playoffs come around and were the team shitting on so called contenders championship hopes
ReplyDeleteIm wit u my boy we only a sf and a back up point guard away from being top contenders should have paid trevor ariza n bring odom back lakers bring the best out of him
DeleteWat chamionship team are yall gon shit on? Be real wit yoself man it makes life easier. Yall not fukn wit the clippers spurs memphis thunder nd hell the mavs nd rockets prolly will be a better team then yall. So kill that bs noise. Yall are over nd kobe will retire after this season with 5 rings nd a nice legacy
Deletemostly dantoni says this : u starting too pissing me off anwer start 2 coach defence. Even Jax says dantoni style is shoot as many 3 as u can score even 40/5 .
ReplyDeleteBlah blah blah...zzzzzz...lakers gonna suck this year..too old too bum of a roster..cavs got more talent then the lakers
ReplyDeleteSuper thug ...

ReplyDeleteDamn str8 I hate the lakers!!!! Lol
Fuck u bitch u probably one of them new b ball fans nba dick ridaz or Miami heat deerbra!
DeleteReplace "guys on the team" with dwight howard. This bitch trying to pin it on his players. One corner we have a 3 time DPOY and another we have a coach known for his offense is defense coaching style. Who the fuck is he trying to convince? Im betting on late january to be when this bum ass of a coach dantoni quits on the lakers like he did the knicks, only to get shown up by his replacement.
