The Los Angeles Lakers are off to 1-4 start to their season after a 95-86 loss to the Utah Jazz on Wednesday, which left Lakers executive vice president Jim Buss not so happy.
With the rough start, questions arose about head coach Mike Brown's job security. However, according ESPN despite the rough start the team will remain patient and continue to have confidence in their coach.
"I have no problems with Mike Brown at all," Buss said. "He just works too hard and he's too knowledgeable for this to be happening.
"So either the system is flawed or something's going on. Or, like the Triangle, it's very hard to pick up and understand. I'm not a basketball mind like he is or the players are, and the players are fine with it, so I just have to be patient."
The Lakers' Kobe Bryant has also preached patience as the Lakers have struggled. Last week he said, "Everybody shut up. Let us work," when asked about fan reaction to the Lakers' slow adjustment to the Princeton offense.
Buss believes the team will get things rolling, but when asked how patient he will be, he was uncertain.
"You have to give it time to understand [what's going on]," Buss said. "I don't know if there's an actual game total that would make me impatient. I know if we're 1-15, I don't think that would be very good. I'm sure that would be a panic button. But at this time, I'm fine with what's going on. It's a learning process for the players. As long as everybody is on the same page, I think we're fine."
