(Laughing at his own evil plot)
Wow, Laker Nation has to be just bamboozled, flabbergasted, perhaps just utterly frazzled at this news. What on Earth goes through Byron Scott's head? Benching the number 2 pick Russell, and last years number 7 pick, who have been playing well lately, and are both in their first full seasons. (Randle played almost a whole game before breaking his leg last year.) For a team that should be looking forward to the future this is just stupid. Why take minutes away from two of your main building blocks of the future to try and turn this season around? Look at your roster Byron, you have NO TALENT, kinda hard to win in the NBA when that is the case. I'm not at all a Laker fan but this is gross, I want D'Angelo to do well (only OSU guy I'd probably say that about but I liked watching him last year) and its hard to do that when you're losing minutes because your coach is apparently delusional. Though Byron has kept Russell out of the fourth quarter of some games for no apparent reason, the kid's got talent just let him play, honestly LA's ceiling is 25 wins no matter what five guys on this team they start. Both guys are pissed about this and they should be, Laker fans should be calling for Scott's head if they aren't already, they may not be I mean a lot of Laker fans are just fair-weather/bandwagon/Kobe Bryant fans. And how about Byron saying no way he'd bench Kobe, I get it's his farewell tour and fans want to see him but bench two of your young guys who actually have talent (and I think will actually be stars in the league) because you're unhappy with a 3-17 start. Newsflash, that's the kind of start everyone expected anyway, your job is to be bad enough to keep your top-3 protected pick this draft and then begin the post-Kobe era. As a basketball fan I hope this ends, I wasn't real inclined to watch LA outside of Russell and Randle, but now why should anyone? Oh well, guess everyone will get to see more Kobe chucking up airballs.
Sorry LakerNation.
