"I don’t even think I’m taking my cell phone on this five days (off during the all-star break) — that’s how much I probably think there’s not going to be a phone call," said Karl.
Now, for starters, I didn't expect them to make any deals at the deadline, I would be surprised if they did. I just don't understand why, again, George Karl feels the need to open his mouth like this. It's not like we're the Lakers, cruising to first place in the West, and even they wouldn't have a coach that would say something like this. If there's no way we deal, then fine, but it screams of a team that has no aspirations to be truly elite to be pumping our fists in elation and dry humping each other over a 2nd or 3rd place finish in the West, and realistically in nobody's title picture. It's the same reason I can see this team possibly getting out of the first round, then getting absolutely throttled by a non-Lakers 2nd round opponent. Our bar is set so **** low. Just do better than last year, that's all anybody seems to care about. At least in public, can we pretend we're always working to be at the top? Jesus.
