    @therealdeal You nailed it once again. D'Angelo shouldn't be in the public eye right now after the fiasco he went through earlier this month. He needs to lay low and focus on ball, not talk about DM'ing girls.

    Get off my lawn part 2. Clarkson's tacky "tongue" performance for the world to see on line in his video selfie with Kendall Jenner after jumping over her at Coachella a couple weeks ago. Just sayin'. Her expression "semi" said it wasn't cool. Grow up. Protect your careers. Keep this stuff to yourselves.

    Much to do about nothing imo. These guys are in Hollywood, the bright lights, almost impossible to stay out of the radar in that town. I could care less who they're dating, or messaging as long as they're working on their games that is all that matters.

    It's a different age. Do something really stupid or bad in public and have it blasted to the world on the net can wreck your professional career. They need utmost care with that let alone intentionally putting it out there about yourself. Real world business companies check social media stuff now before hiring and if you become an embarrassment to your pro franchise it will not sit well.

    This badly buzzed and belligerent female Doctor caught on phone cameras 3 months ago being a b**** and getting physical with an Uber driver that was there to pick up someone else ..... finally lost her job just recently and most likely her career. Who's going to want to hire that doctor to work for them now. After all the money and the schooling and the hours she put in. Again just saying. Like realdeal. Keep it to yourself and beware of the instant media capture and broadcast society we live in now.

    Warning.... badly buzzed female Doctor foul language is audible when she first jumps into his car.

    I get that they have to be careful not to get caught saying or doing anything stupid. Giving a one-sentence quote to an ESPN article about online dating is not a big deal.

    About that Uber incident, I have a hard time believing that is a "good girl". A good person does not act like that regardless of how much they've had to drink. I saw an interview with her afterwards, and she didn't seem very apologetic to the guy or regretful for her poor behavior. Instead she just seemed remorseful that she was caught on camera.

    Bro. I'm pretty sure anybody would feel the same if caught on tape. It's embarrassing. I'm not saying I agree with her but people make mistakes man. Best to show empathy.

    @LTLakerFan yeah haha it just goes to show you that one bad night of drinking can literally ruin your life. But again, she's from a good family...she's not going to be poor on the streets.

    I know she was drunk, and from what you're saying, she doesn't act like that normally, but I can honestly say I've never done anything even close to that before in my life, drinking, or otherwise.

    Hopefully she learned from that, and never comes close to doing that again.

    Regarding our players comments to the media, I agree it's just not a good idea. I understand things have changed with social media being such a big part of people's lives, but the other side of it is that people put out so much more of their lives into public view.

    You simply can't do that if you're a celebrity of any kind. You need to edit what get's out there because the regular stuff a normal person puts out in social media gets scrutinized differently for celebrities.

    @Barnstable @fabfourlakers

    A lot of us have had wild nights out and consumed more drinks than we should have. But how many of us have resorted to that kind of behavior?

    Sure, people make mistakes. This girl went on a 5-minute rampage of destructive behavior. At no point did she consider (limited consciouness withstanding) what the hell she was doing.

    Personally, I think it is emblematic of some kind of entitled, princess behavior she normally exhibits. Definitely some narcissistic/sociopathic behavior going on there.

    Expectations are good, I'd rather have those kinds.

    Good. The kid certainly will not show away from that. He fully believes he can be as good as Steph. That he'll be a superstar. One of the most confident rookies I've seen. Excited for his growth next season.

    With Kobe gone, we need someone who will accept those expectations and strive to exceed them. He's a very confident and talented kid and I think he'll be able to carve his own legacy. A legacy that makes people forget about his current snitch label.

    What we really will have is a true leader that these guys desperately need. A guy who will actually explain what's wrong instead of just throwing the guys under the bus.
