Interim Coach Bernie Bickerstaff tries to keep it simple for Lakers

Why Lakers' hiring of Mike D'Antoni is bad, in 7 seconds or less
The new Lakers coach famously wants his players to shoot in seven seconds or less. I’m not going to require that long to list the reasons that hiring Mike D'Antoni was yet another Buss blunder. He's never taken a team to an NBA Finals. He has a...

Lakers blow it with hiring of Mike D'Antoni
The Lakers say Jerry Buss, Jim Buss and Mitch Kupchak were unanimous in agreement, you know, in blowing it. Everyone is so excited. We’re told it’s 95-5 that Phil Jackson will be the next Lakers’ coach, no one mentioning that the 5%...

It's unanimous: Lakers' selection of Mike D'Antoni over Phil Jackson is wrong
Phil Jackson was blindsided, and so were we. We were told on Saturday it's a 95% chance the ring master is coming back to coach, no one mentioning the 5% in the minority were apparently Jerry Buss, Jim Buss and Mitch Kupchak. The Lakers now tell us...

Firing Mike Brown smells of Laker panic
The older man stepped into the crowded interview room and sighed. Appropriately, Bernie Bickerstaff's first official statement as the Lakers' interim coach was a whispered expletive. "You're being kind with the word 'surprised,'" he said of Friday's...

Dwight Howard's first game offers Lakers a glimpse of things to come
The question posed to Coach Mike Brown before the Lakers' exhibition against Sacramento seemed simple, but he pretended he didn't understand. What, he was asked, can you tell us about Dwight starting? "Dwight who?" Brown said, a puzzled look creasing...

Lakers' decision to fire Coach Mike Brown is all about the win
Great news. Phil Jackson is writing another book, "Eleven Rings," but it's not scheduled to be published until next year, so there's plenty of time to change the title. And more great news as well for Devin Ebanks, who might be out celebrating for all...

Lakers ran a great pickup game to get Steve Nash and Jordan Hill
Salary dumps are designed to save teams money while shedding extraneous players. They don't normally help them land a Hall of Famer. Salary dumps allow teams to rid themselves of aging veterans. They don't usually help them find up-and-comers they...

The state of Metta World Peace: fit and determined
His newly prominent cheekbones, sharply chiseled in a slender face, are the most obvious indication that Metta World Peace has become much lighter of body. His diligence during the Lakers' first training-camp workouts testifies to his lightness of mind...

NCAA sure knows how to ruin a party
They opened the shiny, new Pauley Pavilion Friday night amid pomp and less-than-desired circumstance. The first game in the $136-million redo of outdated Pauley was preceded by loud music, speeches, floodlights, laser beams and fancy graphics on a big...

It's time for Pau Gasol to assert himself
If Pau Gasol's feelings were hurt a year ago when the Lakers tried to trade him to the Hornets for Chris Paul, his subpar performance last season is easier to understand. But when trade rumors were revived around midseason, Gasol should have been fired...
