skip today, play, miss, play, sit out last game of season when you are mathematically knocked out of the play in. scoring title mode disengaged.

Nobody gives a **** about his **** scoring title. Why the **** would the Lakers care about a scoring title? Do you think fans care about a scoring title when the team is in shambles? What kind of crap is this??

Vogel hates Reaves. THT is the worst player we have incapable of doing anything positive on this team. So of course he plays.


I don't think he hates Reaves; Vogel is a defensive coach and Austin is his type of hard nosed player. I think it's obvious the call to play THT over Reaves came from up top, they need to showcase him to trade him in the offseason.

Boogie and Barton redeemed themselves from that debacle against the TWolves.

I never watched star was. But comments like that are ridiculous. Nobody gives a **** about a scoring title except the one doing it. That doesn't make it wrong of course players chase individual accolades. It's what makes them great. Fans dont give a **** about **** like that. Not fans of team at least.

I hope thats the case. Too many games i've seen Vogel leave Reaves on the bench for way too long in favor of THT.

Yeah it's the only logical conclusion I can come up with, cause Reaves is obviously the better player and would have helped them out here. Maybe Vogel wanted more size this game, but to not play Reaves at all? Iffy call by the coach if it was only him.

Dude you literally said the scoring title is all that matters for the Lakers. Why the hell would his teammates or fans etc give a crap about the scoring title?

Do they play for Lebron or the team? I seriously dont get where this comes from. Have i missed leaks or something stating that Lebrons teammates dont give a crap about the season and just want Lebron to get some scoring title? Did i miss the news on that?

Bey is going to go for 50 again and screw up the Pistons tank against the Pacers. He's got 31 halfway through the 3rd.
When will we just change the name of 25 of the 30 teams to the Washington Generals?

Please advise….

I mean if we wanted THT to up his value he sure botched the crap out of that :lol: :lol: .

What a headache of a season.

I'm convinced James Harden is no longer good at basketball.
