    Bad game, but it happens to 19 year olds. Nothing to see here.

    What are you talking about? They need to watch Kobe chuck up 30 shots. Clearly standing around will help them improve.

    Reggie is just old school. He expects him to come out and showcase his skills. Thats how I felt from the start with him. I've taken a step back a bit cause I see hes gonna be more the type of guy that "quietly" gets 20pts 7ast 6reb. And thats fine. But his game and demeanor is a bit polarizing, especially for players who played with all heart/passion and for fans that follow players that play that way.

    I guess Mitch set him straight regarding DAR. Too bad, they didn't discuss rotations and minute menagement because it still SUCKS. B0ron realy needs to GTFO, he sets us back so much, it's not funny anymore.

    Yeah, I have to say it's nice to see Byron say this, especially after Reggie talking trash on our kids all night. Good on ya, B. Now put these guys back in the starting lineup or at least give them 30 minutes a game please. Come on now. That would be even more supportive.

    Reggie's just mad that the team he grew up idolizing denied his chance at a ring. Now, like PP head, he's a Laker hater for life.

    Yeah that was weird, but it's classic drill sergeant tactics. Tear the kid down completely to the bottom and the build him back up. I guess we're in build him back up mode?

    That's what Scott seems to think he needs to be doing with his act toward Randle and Russell.

    I don't think DA is scared. He's so much more confident than he was when we saw him on the court for summer league.
