While I don't completely disagree that Byron Scott isn't the smartest coach in the NBA, I do think that it's a little unfair on him. That team has about no one with range. It's a roster issue as much as anything. Isn't Lin is the best three point shooter (at 36%)?

Yeah - I agree with your statement being a bit unfair to Scott. It's hard to shoot 3's if there is no one capable. Although Scott did say going into the season that the team was going to focus on attacking the rim and not rely on the 3 point shot.

So who failed to fill the roster - Kobe? Buss? Scott? all of the above??

3 pointers in last nights 20 point loss to the Suns...
Lakers - 4 of 13 30.8%
Suns - 16 of 32 50%

Kobe definitely deserves most of the blame for the Lakers' sorry state. This article pretty much sums it up.
