    Twice today during the game Farmar shot something to Phil and Phil barked back at him. Who the fuck does Farmar think he is?

    Jordan has a huge ego. He thinks he's the shit, when in actuality, he is not. Far from it.

    Him and Sasha have been pretty terrible this season, and one of the reasons why the bench has really struggled lately. As a point guard, he's supposed to be the leader of the second unit, but all he does is dribble the ball and chuck up shots.

    I don't think this is the first time him and Phil had a disagreement. I wouldn't be surprised if the management looked to package him and Morrison in the offseason (both 2010 expirings) for a trade.

    I'm sick of him.

    I've never been a fan of Farmar, citing his ego and up-tempo style of ball. His porous defense is a negative, also. With his speed, nobody should stop him getting to the hole, but he likes to dribble out the clock and shoot jumpers, which he usually clanks.

    I have the same sentiments, Brian. I think we could see him packaged this off season along with Ammo or possibly even Sasha because he'd be good in an uptempo style of ball (NY, anyone?). He isn't the shit, he is shit. He needs to fix his ego and realize he hasn't done shit in this league. He doesn't have the right to bark at Phil and Kobe, or keep the ball away from Kobe.

    I would bench Sasha for good right now and don't give me the bullshit it will shatter his confidence...he has no confidence. I'd give his minutes to Ammo and cut back on Farmar's minutes, give them to Brown.

    I'd bet on him being shopped around this off-season, I'd bet on him being definitely traded if we don't win it all this year. We don't have a PG of the future, it isn't Farmar. Hopefully we can get one, soon.

    I think Phil needs to have a tighter leash on Hog Face and Vujabrick.

    Our backup guards are a joke, who the hell is leading our bench these days?

    I'll just pray they can turn it around, especially if Odom is leading them again. They obviously don't care about basketball, how the **** does Farmar shoot less than 60% from the FT line?

    This is where the Radman trade hurts us. I think Luke should be leading the bench unit if Odom is starting, but if that is the case, we've got no starting SF now. Ammo can't start.
