Demarcus Cousins could benefit from getting in better condition. His excessive fouling, turnovers, and low shooting percentage are all due to his conditioning. At least a lot of it is due to that.

As if the constant confusing quotes, the 1-6 start, the blowout losses, and all manner of offensive and defensive dysfunction weren't enough, Byron Scott took his bizarre approach to the Los Angeles Lakers' season to new heights Tuesday. In a blowout loss to the Miami Heat, Scott sat No. 2 overall pick D'Angelo Russell, the player most commonly associated with the future of the franchise, for the entire fourth quarter.

Nick Young played the entire 12 minutes of the final frame.

So why exactly did Scott elect not to put the rookie back into the game environment when he badly needs time in a crowded backcourt and Nick Young represents zero percent of the Lakers' future?


Re: my last tweet, Byron was asked if there was any thought to bringing D'Angelo Russell back in at the end of the game, his response:
— Serena Winters (@SerenaWinters) November 11, 2015

BS:“No, 3 mins left in the game, was an 18-point lead or something like that, no I didn't really think about bringing him back in at that time”
— Serena Winters (@SerenaWinters) November 11, 2015
So just to review, Scott has held Russell out of fourth quarters in tight contests, saying that Lou Williams or other guards gave them the best chance to win, and now he's saying that he didn't reinsert Russell because the game was already out of hand. So apparently Scott is Goldilocks and the lead has to be "just right" in order for the No. 2 overall pick to get playing time.

Scott had threatened the young players, Russell specifically, with losing minutes if they didn't "get it" faster, because he was losing patience over the weekend. He followed that up by talking about the youngster getting "the wood" to try and make the point clear.

At this point, you almost have to assume that there's some sort of issue with Russell in practice, or with his attitude, or something, because otherwise Scott is just haphazardly risking the development of arguably the Lakers' most important player.

As for how Russell felt about the situation?



D'Angelo Russell on playing late in games: "I've got to figure out what I'm doing wrong so I can correct it.” Byron explain why? “No."
— Baxter Holmes (@BaxterHolmes) November 11, 2015
Well, at least the lines of communication are clear. This situation is a disaster.


"GOLDYLOCKS"

despite everything else that dlo is or isnt doing i really dig and respect this answer. clearly there's a problem and the young dude wants to figure out why he isnt getting minutes. I hope he's being told and Scott isn't just playing the female role....'you should already know what's wrong. i shouldn't have to tell you'

I think most saw the Kings implosion coming from a mile away with that assortment of personalities 

 

 

[wavycrocket]

Byron probably doesn't like D'Lo's haircut

Byron old school.

Only cat that could get away with cuts in his eye brows to him is Big Daddy Kane.

I've already spewed my hate for ***** with cuts in their brows all over NT

 

[clarkkent415]

@bhzmafia14 how often you be going to the games? I saw tickets listed for tonight's game at $25.


That wouldn't even pay for parking at Oracle :x .

Tix  in the lower bowl for LAC / Memphis at Staples on Monday were legit 20 bucks. 

Wow that's insane.

 

[rck3sactown]

Remember when Kings' fans were posting preseason records.

Lulz.

who did this?? name and shame them pls

[shoeking2102]

Wow that's insane.

Tbh you can find tix in the lower bowl for relatively solid prices like that against most teams minus the Warriors or something

 

[MVP]

Wow that's insane.

Damn wish they were the home team for Xmas day. Tix to get in are still $100+ for the nosebleeds.

[quote name="Proshares"]Mike ******* Malone gained his respect, I think you need a coach who's not a ******* *** hole like Karl is and you'll be okay.

But look at that roster construction around him. You cannot just lay the brunt of the blame on him. Immature and a bit of a headcase, you'll get no argument from me. He's turnover prone because he's the goddamn center of the offense. He bring the ball up the court because their PG's have been so ******* trash since he's been there.

I really can't believe some of the **** I read in here.[/quote]All I'm blaming him for is his actions, though. Headcase. TO prone. 'S on him, and that's all I'm talking about.

 

[darthska]

[quote name="tyisny"][quote name="DarthSka"]And to me, that's exactly where he's a beast: video games, and on paper.

Video games and paper don't show locker room disruptions and choosing conflicts and dissension; just numbers.

In real life, that matters.

Gonna take a strong, alpha coach who commands respect by KNOWING basketball to make DMC a champion, just like Brown did with Sheed.[/quote]How about a team with Talent, A team with a plan, A team with some stability.... dudes are acting (I'm reading things and then interpreting them) like he's the reason the Kings are bad[/quote] Fixed.

Quoting me then saying dudes are saying Boogie is the reason the Kings suck.

Nah.

Long as I'm talking about Boogie, interpret my words as being about Boogie.

I need 10 reps minimum on this here post, just because.

can you find me tix for the next Kings game? thx

 

[8pm at msg]

In all honesty though...excessive technicals and beefing with refs is like the lowest thing on the malcontent list.

I'm in the bay..

I went to the Memphis game last week and lower bowl was $60. It became expensive before the won the 'chip but now it's ridiculous.

TBH, if we  Kings can just get Boogie back on the court, the rest of the chatter will cease because they will win a few games. More than a few.

Then it hit me...he must hve been talking **** about CP3/Doc/Blake/the organization/

I hope Cuban does it. I'm so glad he's over it and not mad about it

Seriously. I'd hate to see how Cubes acts when he actually is holding a grudge.

I really want to see what DJ said about the Doughboy.

You know I have nothing but good words for your posts, that wasn't directed at you in general. The headcase **** and the emotional stuff, he needs to fix for sure. And he did take good steps under Malone. Look at what Karl has done to seasoned vets, though.

The TO's, I can't put that all on him. When you're a C used to being the focal point of an offense that uses interior scoring as the crutch then going to "you bring the ball up, give it to Gay and wait in the post to see if he passes it to you so you can run the offense" kinda offense, your TO's are bound to increase. Noah is/was a great passing big man and even his TO's went up when they made him the point/C. The guy wants to win, the guy wants to play defense and pace down to give his team a better shot at competing. I think he just needs a change of scenery at this point.
