The Official "Fire Larry Brown" thread

[SirBobcat]

Don't worry guys, Larry will want to leave before getting fired. He's an excellent coach and a Hall of Fame inductee for sure, so no one should ever discredit him as a bad coach. For all our offensive struggles, people seem to forget that we're one of the league's best teams in points given up per game.

Larry has been a consistent figure in an organization that's been up and down...sure we're really low right now, but damnit we're only 3-9! We're not even a quarter into the season and people are looking to fire Larry Brown? The Bobcats are only 3 games out of the 8th spot despite going on a 7 game losing streak.

All i'm saying is, it's not even close to valid to even think about Larry Brown being fired at this time.

This is the life as usual in the Bobcats nation, Someone always needs to be fired or traded. We are never happy with what we have since what we have has been sucking longer then Monica Lewinsky. We always daydream about what we could have had and blah, blah, blah.

Million $ ?
Fire LB and hire who??

Who's going to bring more respect then LB has? Respect for the team, respect from the players, fans, other coaches and players. Who just itching to come coach the Charlotte Bobcats? Sounds like ya'll are asking for another order of Ham Biscuit.

Yeah he is way to good of a coach to be fired.

[teej]

He got fired in NYK, didn't he? And way back in LAC was it?

And kat, see my post on page 1. I still don't think he is the right man for the job.

Seriously, Its fun saying what we could have but in the end you have to be rational about things. So far Larry Brown is one of the best coaches you're gonna get. Other then maybe Jeff Van Gundy, who are you gonna get. This team always stars off slow. This is nothing new.

You make him sound like a bad coach. JVG is better than his brother. At least he didn't eat the third brother

If there's one team that can turn the Bobcats around, its Larry Brown. I reakon LB has done a fair job with the crap FHB has surrounded him with. And honestly, I would pick LB over Mike Brown any day. Seriously, last play of the game and who's drawing up the plays? It's his assistant coach while Mike Brown looks around, trying to look busy as the camera's on him. Coach of the year was a joke. It was only because of Lebron that they won so many games, not because of Mike Brown. I for one see Larry Brown drawing up a play at the end of the game instead of just standing there and letting his assistants do the work.

Sure LB does make some questionable decisions, but who doesn't?

Instances of "questionable decisions"

-Diop trade (TBH I hated the Diop trade, but honestly the two chaps we traded were pretty useless)

-DJ > Lopez

- Ajinca > all

In 2008 LB went under alotta scrutiny for drafting DJ instead of Brook Lopez, and then drafting Ajinca. People instantly jumped on the bandwagon to say that they were failed players. But what people don't understand is that LB is not living for the moment, but for the future as well.

Since I'm an optimistic kind of guy, I believe that Ajinca and DJ have the potential to become great players. Ajinca is one of the most versatile big men I have ever seen. He has length, hops and speed. Only thing he lacks is skill, footwork and weight. LB can help him with that. It's been a long two years, but in the pre-season we've seen what Ajinca can do. Imagine him in another two years where he's reaching his prime. I believe he can be a great player.

DJ as well. DJ was averaging 11/3 (approx.) last season. DJ has the potential to improve on that too. I've seen the kid play, when he has his 'swagger' the kid reminds me of CP3 at times with his tenacity and scoring. For instance, in pre-season he was lightning it up. He's gone into a cold stretch but he should pull out of it. In two or three years, expect him to be our starting PG instad of Felton(considering he isn't traded off).

Frankly, people are overreacting. It's like being a lemming. One cries fire and jumps off the cliff, the rest follow. I for one will stand by LB and I believe that in the best intrests of our beloved team, that he stays. Just look at our defence, ranked 3rd overall. Only now does our team truely look complete and heading towards the playoffs. Our team finally knows what it's doing when on offence and we have the players to fill the roles. We have a decent PG and a upcoming superstar PG, a SG who can post-up, shoot 3's, rebound, pass and defend. A SF who can score, rebound and defend...not to mention lovely highlight blocks. We have a PF who is undersized, but can pass, shoot and rebound. And we have C who is finally getting back on his feet after downtime (Said that playing the 76ers he was truely feeling good for the first time).

Not to mention we have a backup scorer, two great players up and coming in Hendo and UPS, Mohammed who is like fine wine, a skinny frenchman and a smiling defensive blocker dude. Honestly, I truely like this team and I think that we are ready to make some noise.

Honestly, I don't live completely for the moment. I live for the moment, but also for the future. I believe LB shares my view. He lives for the moment, but at the same time plans ahead for the future. He's filled up the holes in this team. He's finally gotten rid of useless players that he overplayed (Radman) and has created a truely great defensive team that with the right offense, has the potential to challenge for a playoff berth, even without a superstar (Although I reakon Cpt. Jack is our own little superstar. I mean come on, the chap averages 20/5/5 or so, that's impressive).

So for those who managed to read through this massive wall of text, I have one thing to proclaim.

Toocool, the problem I have is that LB is having to deal with the crap HE SURROUNDED HIMSELF WITH. Crash, Felton, and Nazr are the only players remaining from FHB. The rest are people that LB brought in for whatever reason. After all of that we still aren't much bettter.


It pisses me off how he complains about not getting production from guys when he made the trades to bring them in. Sleep in the bed you made LB.


With that said, ILBIT

Exactly. And he tried to trade all 3 of them, too.
