Here is part of what Johnson originally said about Brown's job security. Via the Los Angeles Times.

"Mike Brown will not be coaching the Lakers if they lose this game," Johnson said. "There would be so much pressure on Jim Buss and the Laker organization to get rid of him."

Saturday's Game 7 is scheduled to tip off at 10:30 p.m. ET and will be broadcast on TNT.
