    He's upset Mozgov and Deng were removed from the starting lineup.

    Sides, what are you guys worried about? He said we are going to be in the finals next year.

    No doubt. I'm glad we've never had an important player react petulantly by refusing to shoot in order to prove a point to someone behind the scenes *coughKobegame7vsSunsin2006cough*.

    Kobe had the right to do as he pleased. Russell doesn't have that luxery because he hasn't done **** for this franchise yet.

    Even when Kobe did that, I wasn't happy at all. But you take the bad with the good I guess. But you don't take the bad with the bad.

    I just saw some as well from Russ and Luke both. Luke actually seemed to be searching for words on the pre-game run up to Milwaukee on Sports Net. Not sure when taped. Really got the feel from both of them that they are keeping something in house.

    I'm glad it is being kept in house... We don't want the organization or us fans to deal with the media running with it and sensationalizing just for the sake of it. We have enough crap to deal with already.

    I blame Magic. And I am only half kidding about it...

    This is what irks me every time I see "Y should work out with all-time great X". These Xs are sometimes j******es. Some of them are morons.
    Not every single one of them is an articulate introspective super-analytical obsessed Kobe. Some are KG. Or LeBron.

    I doubt LeBron would excel as a teacher.

    The announcement of Magic came while the team was on the road trip. Magic has had a couple dinners with D'Angelo, but that's it.

    I'm not sure how the two situations are related.

    That's why I said kidding. The half part is because I'm sure there will be some "teaching" and I'm not positive I'm happy about it.

    Nothing wrong with drilling some "Winnin' Time" mentality into DAR's head and teaching him how to grip the seams on the Nolan Ryan overhand 100mph bounce passes in traffic. :Magic Brows:

    The sad thing is -- DAR is 20. Magic is like 100 -- and he shouldn't be talking on Twitter just the same.

    That's the problem. The beat writers and twitterers that cover the team ..... just say what Russell wants them to say. Anything to shut him up. ;)
