Was that a call out or what? Probably to Gasol? How about that Artest slam on JJ. Not saying it didn't make me smile though. I was hoping one of our players did that to him last series. Dallas played well and it looks as though the Lakers are in midst of some soul searching. Some very bad timing.
I dont even know what you are trying to say.... All I know is "Gimme the fucking Ball" is what he should say to everyone, including Kobe [video=youtube;RLcP-mqWO-Y]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RLcP-mqWO-Y[/video]
After the game, they interviewed Bynum. Basically Bynum called out the team and even Charles Barkley said it was uncalled for. He said the entire team has trust issues; which was the reason they lost. He also said if they don't fix it; they will lose this series.
How the hell is it uncalled for? It is so obvious. He is the only player giving an effort out there on both sides of the ball. When he rotates over to help, nobody rotates to his man. It led to 3 dunks for Chandler last night. He got frustrated with Shannon, too. He had great post position and Shannon shot a jumper, instead. Fucking hate that bitch.
It is uncalled for to bitch to the media about it. Call out your teammates in the locker room, don't throw your team under the buss and look like a whiny bitch.
Exactly this. The same was said about Roy or other Blazers that said their frustrations to the media before the team.
I wouldn't be surprised for a minute if it happened. The way stars just fall in the laps of the Lakers is completely frustrating!
I was listening to a local radio show this morning and they were saying that Gasol was booed. Is that right? Seriously, pathetic if true. This is the dude that carried them to the finals the past three years, and this is how they treat him? Some spoiled "fans" right there.
It's not the first time I have heard him do it. Which is kind of ironic when you consider how the fans in LA have often called him out on various radio shows in the past few years about his "rehab" work ethic. I hope they do force feed him the ball in the next few games. The less Kobe and Odom shoot the ball the better for dallas. Let Bynum take 20 shots a game (on the road) and we will see how Kobe reacts to that. I do think the best thing for the Lakers is if Artest is suspended. Odom IMO is the key to their success and they need him to play 40 minutes and start playing like he is a star and not a role player.
I completely agree with this. I actually think the Lakers will do much better without Artest this series.
He doesn't need more shots. He needs to get more touches. But when every touch is a shot, people stop passing it to you. The whole Dallas team converges on him whenever he gets the ball in the post or anywhere close to the rim. There's simply no reason not to.
Nothing wrong with calling out your team mate behind closed doors and to the team. Were you fine with Roy's call out?
I've never had a problem with players calling out teammates, to the media, or otherwise. The greats have always got away with it. Sometimes the most effective way of getting a teammates attention and letting them know whats really up is by using the media.
Well I guess that's fine. I guess we saw what Roy calling out Nate did for their success. They won the next 2.
