Breh you know Laker fans get hype as hell about a player (or a possible trade) and then shyt on the whole idea 2 games in.


Remember when Javaris Crittenton was suppose to be that dude after he scored 20 points in the summer league.

which is why i reaaaally hope they get josh smith. they'll be asking to ship him out once he bricks 5 straight long jumpers:ahh:

Have any of ya'll protecting Pau seen him play? There's a reason he gets shytted on by Laker fans, he gives no effort. At the rim he just gets outta of players way. He puts up empty stats, he'll play like shyt, have no effect on the game and end up with 15 and 10. All while letting the player he guards go off. It's obvious no one is watching, yesterday Jamison was giving Z Bo Problems with his D, when Pau comes in Z Bo goes off.

He seems to be a bitter man (getting sonned by Pop so many times might explain that).

But he was getting around $4 million a year in Phoneix, $6 million a year in NY. And now he got a 3-year $12 million guaranteed deal, so he probably doesn't give a fukk and is acting reckless (oh yeah and because he knows Pau is a p*ssy and wont step up in practice and put him in that Sprewell choke).

I don't see what all the fuss is for. Pau has been playing soft and lackadaisical, sit his ass down if he ain't producing. That's what coaches do, sit niqqas down who don't produce. If he was to leave Pau out there, then niqqas would be like, " D'Antoni don't know what the fukk he's doing! He's letting Pau fukk this game up for us!" make up y'all minds. Dudes bringing up how he coached the shytty Knicks? Totally different scenario, Pau is a 2 time champion who knows better because knows what it takes to win, Melo and them other dudes never won jack shyt and they felt some kind of entitlement because they were all-stars. Bottomline you don't produce, sit your monkey ass down. I applaud D'Antoni because he has to win now (within 3 years) and he don't have time to baby a 30 something niqqa.

Granger for Gasol :manny:

Start Jamison or Artest at the 4, gives D'antoni his precious spacing.

Maybe if they somehow got David West too because Jamison couldn't play defense 10 years ago, he would get roasted now.



Tiago Splitter would eat good though with Jamison at the four.

Dirk having fun out there :ahh:

Z-Bo :noah:

That's fine to bench him, but it was unnecessary to make snide remarks like that in the media...protect your players...treat your team as family. Don't invite more drama and media scrutiny...That's on some desperate last straw type shyt...

Pau had it coming to him, he's been playing like a bytch since they beat the Celts in 2010. What did he say that was wrong? That he wanted to win? Pau makes himself an easy target, it's not the fact that he's not the same player from the past, it's his lack of effort and hustle, he plays weak defense and continues to get bullied by everyone. If he gave effort then Pringles wouldn't be so upset. It's all about effort.

I wonder if D'Antoni is gonna say anything about Kobe leaving the court with 10 seconds left? Nope because he is tryna bully on a nikka who ain't bout that beefing life. He picking his battles like a bytch and he has a history of doing it.
