That's it, I'm done! I have absolutely had it with this year's Laker squad. They are Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. They beat one of the best teams in the NBA, the Heat, last Sunday, then go on the road and lose two in a row to two horrible teams. Last night's defeat at the hands of the Pistons was unforgivable, but tonight's monumental collapse in D.C. to the 8 win Wizards is unpardonable! This collection of selfish individuals led by 21 points with 5 minutes remaining in the 3rd quarter and lose the game by 6, a 27 point swing in only 17 minutes of play. The woeful Laker bench was outscored 50 something to 20 something. Then there is our future Hall of Famer, Kobe Bean Bryant. The guy is a ball-hog. OK, there it is, I said it.....He just keeps forcing up bad shot after bad shot. Michael Jordan was a career 49% shooter, Kobe is a 45% shooter. The difference? Shot selection. If Kobe and Michael had a game of HORSE, Kobe would win every time. But, Kobe never met a shot he didn't like. After he started the 4th quarter tonight 0-6, Mike Brown should have had the guts to yank him out of the game. But, noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo, he's Kobe. Poor Jim Hill and James Worthy on the channel 9 post game show were speechless. The have had it, too. Anyway, I'm done with the Lakers for the rest of this season. I am hopping on the Clipper band wagon. Chris Paul and Blake are my guys now. But, before I exit Lakerdom, let me leave a few parting suggestions and comments:
1. Commissioner David Stern needs to be water boarded. Thanks to his gutless veto of the trade for Chris Paul, the Lakers are in their current mess. We didn't get Paul or salary cap relief and we give Lamar away for nothing who then goes into hiding with the Kardashian's. What a nightmare!
2. Don't worry about filling any needs this season. That's right. Mitch Kupchak and Jimmy Buss might as well continue their season long snooze. But, at some point before the Second Coming, it might be nice to get a point guard that can actually play and a small forward that can chew gum and walk at the same time. But hey, what's the rush? Don't blow the team up this year, this season is officially toast.
3. Fire Mike Brown now! Phil Jackson would not allow a Pee Wee team lose a 21 point lead, let alone an NBA team. Brown is in over his head. Get him outta here and bring in Kurt Rambis like they should have in the first place.
4. Derek Fisher, please retire now!!!
5. Send Troy Murphy and his line drive metal cracking jumper back to Ireland.
6. Put Steve Blake on waivers or have him shave off that soul patch.
7. Is Luke Walton still on the team? If so, cut him and sign his dad. Or make him a Laker Boy!
8. Cut Metta World Peace and bring back Ron Artest. That guy was not bad. Peace out!
9. What's wrong with Josh McRoberts? Get the guy some playing time. You gotta love his energy.
10. Drew Goudlock, keep shooting.
11. Matt Barnes? Who gives a crap.
12. And finally, just in case I become a Laker fan again, please don't trade Pau!
Thank goodness March Madness is upon us! By the time it's over it will be baseball season. Look for me at Dodger Stadium with my buddies Harry and Mike. If anyone catches me watching a Laker game, go ahead and jab an ice pick in my retina!
