Things move quickly with the Los Angeles Lakers, who have won their two games since firing Mike Brown, but have already chosen to sign Mike D’Antoni on a four year deal, putting pack on the pressure road of winning now and winning big, while hoping Kobe Bryant and Dwight Howard are happy with the new choice.

Kobe Bryant Enjoying Los Angeles Lakers Without Mike Brown
Forget what the words say. Kobe Bryant, the rest of the players, the front office of the Los Angeles Lakers. See actions, see energy, see faces. Everyone was waiting for Mike Brown to get the axe sooner or later, Bryant, maybe more than all of them.

Los Angeles Lakers – Mike Brown Firing Only a Question of Time
It’s amazing who an organization can send out all kinds of signals before doing the exact opposite. I guess that eventually, the look that Kobe Bryant gave Mike Brown on the bench during the loss to the Utah Jazz did mean what it looked like. Just a season and a bit at the job, only 71 regular season games, and Mike Brown is no longer the head coach of the Los Angeles Lakers.

Los Angeles Lakers – Easy Win Doesn’t Mean Much
When it’s too easy, you can’t take too much out of it. The Los Angeles Lakers won their first game of the season, taking off tons of pressure from everyone’s shoulders; from Mike Brown to Kobe Bryant and Dwight Howard. The weak, surprisingly soft Detroit Pistons were exactly what the doctor ordered.

Los Angeles Lakers – Kobe Bryant Can’t Change
It’s too strong. The will to win takes over any rational thought of trying to work through the process of making the new Princeton offense work, even at the cost of an 0-3 start. Kobe Bryant had one of his “F^%& everyone, I’m doing this on my own” moments, leading to another Los Angeles Lakers loss and more calls to push the imaginary panic button.

Los Angeles Lakers – Kobe Bryant Can’t Be Surprised With Criticism
The Los Angeles Lakers keep talking about patience, keep asking for it. But when a team signs the best Center in the NBA (Dwight Howard), a two time MVP (Steve Nash) and adding them to one of the greatest players of all time (Kobe Bryant) and still one of the best big men in the league (Pau Gasol), they can’t be surprised with some overreaction from the media after their 0-2 start.

Los Angeles Lakers – Nothing New in Kobe Bryant World
