Hahaha, wow, that didn't take long.  Wonder if Phil is waiting in the wings or if they're just going to grab whoever they can.

Deservedly so. Wonder why he was hired in the first place.

The Princeton offense with Kobe....Geesh!!!!

Time to bring in Brian Shaw or Kurt Rambis.

If true, not surprising. He seemed a bad fit with that new roster. Like asking Michaelangelo to write computer code.

Excellent news. Never deserved the job in the first place.

I'd love to see Mike Brown go back to being an assistant coach under a high level technician. Maybe a Rick Carlisle in Dallas. Somebody like that. Someone Mike Brown can learn off of and improve his in game decision making and man-management of star players.

Brown does have some good qualities. He just needs to improve some of those weaknesses. He is still young. He could easily come back in 2-4 years time and establish himself as one of the top coaches in the business if he actually works on flaws ... instead of ignoring them and pretending they don't exist and they don't limit him as a Head Coach as he has done since he left Cleveland.

That's from the end of their last game.  Brown was a dead man walking.

It's about time, really.  It's shocking to me they didn't go deeper in the playoffs LAST YEAR.   Kobe Bryant along with two of the top 5 big men in the world is a recipe for dominance.  I really thought they could have made the finals. 

This year... their roster is even sicker.  Nash, Kobe, Pau, Dwight... that team should be winning 70+.  Mike Brown is a total hack.

Nate McMillan or Stan Van Gundy should get the job.

This just kind of seems like poor team management and not knowing what coach you have.  If they wanted to make a change, why didn't they do it during the summer when they were getting nash and dh?  I mean they know who their coach is and what principals he builds his teams on.  If they didn't like the princeton approach, I doubt that he would have started the year as the coach.

If it isn't poor management by the front office, then it is a big overreaction to a few games.  I don't think Mike Brown is a great coach - probably better than average.  But I think you need to give him more than a few games to get everything in order with all the new players and the injuries.
