Guys, dumb half-asaed commentary like this...I can't
take it.

I can't.

You're mad because hedidn't coddle D'Angelo on a road
game where Scott's coaching helped to secure the team's
first win of the season?

Are you joking?

This just in: Your team fucking sucks. Is awful. You're
going to have to experiment with all kinds of combinations
to see how people respond to different situations.

The only player with any kind of benefit of the
doubt other than Clarkson is Lou Will, because he was NBA 6th
Man of the Year, on an excellent team, and played in the playoffs. There are NO other players on that team who demonstrated
anything with any kind of consistency last year, to warrant
anything resembling a benefit of the doubt.

And your biggest problem is Kobe Bryant. Unless you can
tell Scott how to handle that situation, you have nothing
to say.

It's an 82 game season and he's 19 years old. He's going
to be beat up and exhausted by game 57.

Plus, it's not Byron Scott's job to coddle him.

Especially in a competitive game where they can get their
first win.

Getting the first win for the TEAM is infinitely more important
than any sub-agenda to coddle Russell.

Lou Will was the 6th Man of the Year on an excellent basketball
team last year, and has earned that type of leeway, especially
on this team of injured guys and kids.

to take out for DRuss...so what exactly was the excuse

The team won on the road.

The message is: come out of the game, because I said so.

AND he learned to how to win on the road.

He responds with his
>best overall game and you still don't change a damn thing. I
>hate this shit.

You act like D'Angelo went for 40 points.

It's a long season.

And Byron orchestrated the first win, which was huge for
the entire team's development and psyche.
