Via Kevin Ding:

As the Los Angeles Lakers' 112-105 loss to the Denver Nuggets on Sunday was winding down at Staples Center, fans chanted once again: "We want Phil!"
Mike D'Antoni agreed that the pressure is building for the Lakers to turn the season around.
"Because of our record," he said, "probably the pressure is building."

What do you think? Is there still a possibility to get Phil and like change 3 coaches in one season? That would look awful hard to me....

Laker Coaches Suck! Why keep a failing Mike Brown assistance coaches on board? I guess to keep teaching a failing defensive system. MIke Brown couldnt coach, D'antoni only coaches offense, maybe the next coach can can do both offense & defense and what idiots thought an aging Steve Nash would save this team? It seems the coaches use excuse after excuse to keep thier job until the next game. Bernie has the best record as a coach this season for the Lakers. When he was coach the Lakers played without tension, they had fun, they were entertaining & they won!!! Brown & D'antoni are to systematic, building robots instead of letting them play ball, niether of them even use the star players to thier full potential...ie: Brown didnt have Nash move the ball & D'antoni has Paul Gasol at the 3 point line...huh? Biggest mistake this season was not hiring Phil Jackson...I say give the reigns back to Bernie. D'antoni's coaching history tells his story just look at Phoenix & New York how well did he do there?

if PJ is whats necessary for this all star loaded team to win then its possible they are just dysfunctional. I honestly believe Real Deal could coach this team to a winning and prosperous outlook on the season. It shouldn't be that difficult as far as game plans and strategies are concerned. However getting all the ego maniacs to listen may be a greater feat than I can fathom.

[KobeWillReturnTriumphant]

I was there and I screamed it at the top of my lungs. The game so putrid that it was either that or boo, and chanting for a real coach was a better option.

99% of us wanted Phil, but no they don't listen to us.

[gque24]

the pressure should be cuz of how the team looks assembled = players & coaches do not fit = period

[Clutch]

phil jackson can't save this team, coaching is only 1 of the ton of other issue this team has..and honestly, we need to learn to move on from phil one day or another, ild rather sooner than later

[lildvl10]

would it hurt if we ask mike brown to be an asst. coach since the lakers anyway? lol just saying, i know its impossible but still an out of this world idea haha

[lildvl10]

*since the lakers are paying him anyway

Fans should really be chanting "WE WANT DEFENSE".

Phil Jackson isn't coming back. And he isn't the solution to our problems.

[KarlCalaguas12]

Unless the players decided to play any defense, then Phil Jackson isn't the solution to this team.

If I was in the crowd, I would be screaming and pointing directly to Jim Buss' suite.

Phil might not be able to lead this team into a championship, but at least he can give this team a sense of direction, something that D'Antoni has not been able to do. They're playing like headless chickens right now, without any sense of urgency.

I can imagine Phil cackling evilly at the Lakers woes right now if it was his nature.
