Ex-Lakers scrubs are blossomingspreading like a wildfire. Shannon Brown, McBob, Sasha, Sessions, Earl Clark and now Morris.

More to come this summer with Meeks and Marshall.

I really hope the Woj law is correct in these Pau to phoenix rumors. I wouldn't mind him off the bench but the starting unit works pretty well as it is.

Our starting unit does not play the same way as our bench does. Our starters like to run and pass the ball around and go for a good 3 or lay up. The bench is more one on one with post ups with the morris bros. I would see pau as the back up center and our bench would look something like ish/barbosa/marcus/markieff/pau then when bledsoe comes back it would be barbosa/green/marcus/markieff/pau. Only thing that would worry me is his bitching about touches.

It would most likely be Emeka/Indiana's first for pau

Until the NFL sells some kind of package that lets me watch a recorded game in 15-20 min cutting out all the replays/time between plays/timeouts/commercials I can't watch football.

Didn't mind it when I played, but watching? I either am bored as fuck or babying it nonstop with the dvr remote.

Glad Sherman won though the reaction to him was disgusting.

And those 2 scrubs don't put up numbers on a team that isn't a pringles offense.
Click to expand...

Yeah, surely that has nothing to do with starting and playing Marshall 33 minutes a game, instead of 14.6.

And Earl Clark? 7 points and 5.5 boards in 23 minutes is putting up numbers now?

But why am I surprised? Anything to take a dump on the Lakers, even on superficial matters like players attracting attention.

yeah, you're right, it's cause they're ex-lakers, entirely.

And, I'm so sorry, my heart bleeds for you, where's the charity drive for hard done by laker fans?

Against some of the weaker teams, you can find tickets for under $20 on StubHub, but they're in the 300s section of course. I'll probably try out some cheap tickets for another game in the next week or two and see how it is. Luckily, I can just take the Metro Expo Rail over there so I don't have to spend a bunch on parking.

Hopefully that means the last of that godawful nickname.

The nickname has taken over, you don't get to pick.

FWIW I think it's a good nickname, at least when he's on a tear like this and daggering people nightly.

2. Does Marcus Smart's demeanor on the floor lately concern you?
Katz: Yes. Smart hasn't shown the type of leadership necessary to elevate Oklahoma State. He needs to calm down a bit and refocus his energy at times when he gets frustrated -- especially when he's getting pushed, pulled and tugged by opponents. If it weren't for the play of Markel Brown and at times Le'Bryan Nash, the Cowboys would be in a world of hurt right now. Smart is too talented, too much of a winner, though, to think he won't right his season and the Cowboys' soon.

O'Neil: It bothers me more than it concerns me. Smart was rightly heralded for making a mature, albeit risky, decision to come back to school, but now he's behaving in a thoroughly immature way. I can imagine it's difficult because he commands so much attention and opponents are being physical with him, but great players put their heads down and just play. That's what Smart needs to do.

Medcalf: Nah. His forced shots are a much bigger concern. He's always been a good leader, but he's frustrated for a lot of reasons. He's just not playing to his potential. And Stevie Clark's latest arrest won't help the team.

We never hear anything like this about dIEHARD's Parker. Can't blame the coach for this.

Holy shit the stuff coming out of the Cavs' locker room.

Deng's noted professional and winning pedigree were supposed to help the callow Cavs as much as his scoring and defense.

Instead, it appears the dysfunctional Cavs locker room has already discouraged the nine-year veteran. According to the New York Daily News' Mitch Lawrence, Deng has been complaining of the situation in Cleveland to a close friend, saying, "The stuff going on in practice would never be tolerated by the coaching staff or the front office back in Chicago. It’s a mess."

What has driven Deng to such despair after less than one full month in Cleveland? Lawrence lays out a laundry list of offenses from Deng's teammates:

  • Guard Dion Waiters was kicked out of practice, but he still received his usual minutes in Cleveland's next game.
  • Several players were out late partying the night before Cleveland's embarrassing 117-86 loss to the New York Knicks, the fifth loss in their last six games.
  • Unspecified players taking off their uniform tops at halftime and refusing to play.
  • Unspecified teammates mouthing off to Cavs head coach Mike Brown.

This season has been a dumpster fire for OSU basketball, and Smart is one of the last reasons why.

We have 2 truly good players, our only decent interior player has been injured, and our coach is incapable of implementing a consistent system on either end of the floor.

I'd rather have a player get pissed and kick over a chair intead of "keeping his head down" like those pundits say. I like that he gives a shit and gives full effort all the time. He cares a ton, and it's apparent to anyone who watches.

This. Our roster is complete trash, and now our stud freshman has been kicked off the team too. Missing the NCAA tournament is a real possibility.

Yeah, I used to be a die hard, researching fantasy all week, watching football for 12 hours straight on Sundays...man, I even watched the Pro Bowl sometimes. I watched the Super Bowl this year, but the way they've handled the concussion thing has turned me off the NFL in general.

Fair enough. I'll respect your opinion of him, although I still don't think much of him. He's totally lowered his draft stock though.

Coming back was definitely a mistake for his draft stock, I agree. But then again, there's no way he could have known that Cobbins would get injured or that Clark would get kicked off the team (it's his own fault for not realizing that Ford is a terrible coach).

He's still probably gonna go in the top 10.
