Lakers Fire Mike Brown After 1-4 Start

... Or the Lakers could panic now and fire their head coach.

That's exactly what they did earlier today when the Lakers fired Mike Brown after one full season, a few miserable games this year as head coach, and one powerful Kobe death stare that leaves Medusa envious. When the team acquired both Steve Nash and Dwight Howard, there was talk that Brown was going to introduce the Princeton Offense to the team as a way to create offense. It didn't seem to work at all. The team started 1-4 which was not adequate to Lakers fans despite the fact that Steve Nash has been injured for most of that stretch. Either way, they fired Mike Brown and are now looking for a head coach... or leaving Phil Jackson a bunch of messages on his machine.

So what about the team as of now. Assistant coach Bernie Bickerstaff will take over for tonight's game vs. the Warriors. I am no expert on the Lakers but my feeling is that Bickerstaff will be just an interim coach and not a permanent replacement for Mike Brown. I'm not kidding about "calling Phil Jackson" comment. They might just want to go to Phil and beg him to come back. If that doesn't work, start kissing his a**. They have no where else to go right now.

Whatever they do to solve this vacancy, it better be good. Kobe is old and getting older, so is Steve Nash, and the so called "Future of the Lakers" (Dwight Howard) might just leave after one season on the team. How this season goes for the Lakers could determine how the team will look for the foreseeable future.
