They might take away our best option so I won't run it. What a dipshit.

It is stupid on many levels. I guess in Mike Brown's world, you can only be good at one thing offensively??

I did a quick Google search this morning for "fire Mike Brown" and it turned up a bunch of threads across the Lakers boards and other NBA boards. His days are numbered. That pick and roll comment says it all. What a moran.

He is awful.

Aaron Rodgers should never throw the ball, because the best DCs will take that away.

Do you guys really think Phil could come back?

Wishful thinking on TD's part. Let's hope it goes no farther.

As long as he continues to date Jeanie then there is a good chance IMHO.

He could also ask for another raise and get it. You think they would have learned that lesson the first time around. Just pay the dude what he asks because eventually you will, anyway.

Luke: Jax won't come back....unless he does.

Heat Check: Mike Brown's days numbered already?

Well, that didn't take long.

We're just two games into the Los Angeles Lakers' much-hyped season and Mike Brown has landed squarely on the hot seat. Too early to go there? Downright unfair? Ridiculous for a head coach to be hearing chatter about his job security after an 0-2 start to an 82-game season?

Maybe, but this is an offshoot of the brave new world of super teams. Add Dwight Howard and Steve Nash to a starting lineup already boasting Kobe Bryant, Pau Gasol and Metta World Peace and the pressure's going to be on to such an extreme that you won't get even two days' worth of the benefit of the doubt.

That's particularly true for Brown, because if things go bad – and they have, early as it is, pretty quickly – the blame will fall to him.

I thought he walked away because he had sore hips and was in a lot of pain or something?

I don't remember. I just vaguely remember hearing about some health stuff.

Or is that just code for 'They didn't want to pay me for another go round this time".

Mike Brown is in serious trouble if this ends badly tonight.

Are you motivated by his ESPN Wired segments? I hate those things (not just Mike Brown's, but all of them).

I haven't heard them. We just got home and I turned on the TV, unsurprised by the score, surprised that Mike Brown is still the coach of this team.

I agree with you, though. The wired stuff is never insightful and there are only a few coaches in all sports that are elite enough to make me care what they have to say. Mike Brown isn't one of them, btw.

Right. They know the camera/mic is on them, and none of the players care what they're saying.

This offense might be the worst decision ever imagined by a head coach at any level.
