A big % of people who fill up Staples for Clipper games are actually Laker fans that just don’t hate the Clippers yet. You will see this come out at the Clippers “home” game when 50% of the people there will be Laker fans wearing purple.

Clipper tickets are a lot cheaper than Laker tickets. Don’t let their capacity crowds trick you into thinking its anything other than a bandwagon right now that just likes the NBA. That crowd and interest in the team will vanish when the quality does.

Nobody cares about the white sox

BTW, the Clippers just want their 16th in a row. *Yawn*, right?

In all honesty he’s the sole reason the offense don’t work because he can’t hit a jump shot, and is horrible on free throws. He’s a horrible addition to this kind of offense. Also throw in all the things we expected and he can’t seem to do, like protect the paint and be effective in pick n roll situations, I would trade the guy and not hesitate. He’s also a coach killer too, I mean what coach does this guy like?

Give this guy some time? He’s had 29 games and its the same ole story with him. He blames everyone else for his short comings. He’s frusterated not because the Lakers can’t play defense its because he knows HE can’t. Lets be absolutely real here, he’s never cared about “a team” or a “coach” he’s always been about himself. HE can’t play defense no more, and he’s getting dominated and embarrased. That’s what he’s mad at, but he has no humility.

If it were me, I would trade this snake oil to anyone in return for 2-3 jump shooters and athletic big men..ASAP!

He is doing all this while another player is taking the majority of the shots too.

Maybe if they worked the ball into him and let him pass it back out more often the offense would work better? Maybe.

I ain’t worried about D12. He will be rolling come April and that is when the games really matter.

The criticism should be directed at Pau Gasol who is not carrying his own water. Nash has been out for the majority of the games as well.

Yet D12 is not doing enough. OK.

He will be just fine and the Lakers front office is very happy with the trade especially when you consider Bynum is not even playing.

The Buss family will pay D12 big money at the end of this season for sure. He is worth it too.

This is just part of the season. Fans complaining and writers looking for something to write about.

Let me know when D12 starts to decline from his career averages.

At least he’s out there every game playing and not sitting out. I’ll admit he’s not the same Howard, but he’s also not 100%. Like you said, give him some time.

And that compairison of his energy to that of when Jordan Hill comes off the bench…c’mon Kurt, J Hill makes everyone look lethargic save Kenneth Faried! Dude is the energizer bunny with dreads!
