Sheldon took Hawes min in the 4th Sheldon played all but the last 4 min of the 4th quarter. Reggie stayed with the group that was playing well together. Until Douby showed his true colors he was in there as well. Then Theus brought in Mikki and Beno for the final stretch.
Selfish chuckfest? Ron was well within the flow of the game Garcia and Salmons were the 2 throwing up ill advised shots.
Seriously pay attention to the game before coming in here making yourself look silly.
I shudder to think what this board would have been if we were "fighting" for the overall first pick.

When did we start hating Salmons so much. I thought he was part of the young core and part of the future.

The level at which people complain truly astonishes me. A win against a quality opponent, with significant youth contributions? Check. There's no wat Theus would only play 5 so that internet fans can get their youth jones. Sometimes we need a little reality check.

I don't agree with that thought-just because he does not play as well when he does not start does not mean it is a concious effort on his part to play poorly. I agree that it may be a subconscious thing in which he is not trying to play worse, it just happens. I also feel that when he plays coming on the bench he still shoes a good defensive effort.Why would any player purposfully play lousy?? Sorry just feel like I have to defend the guy, he is one of my favorite players- he helped us in the beggining of the year when so many other player were injured.
Why do you say Salmons is not a team player?? Recently it seems like he has gotten more assists and passes the ball when he knows another player has a better shot. I also like the fact that I feel he has grown as a player, he looks for the open man nore often now.I personally am a big fan of Salmons and love his defensive play. He may not be young, but he is still a good player.
we're the clutchest team in the NBA! win all 3 games baby!!!! BWAHAHAHHAHA
Salmons is going to be 29 a month into next season. He's not that young, and he's not a team player. Furthermore reading the tea leaves with Kevin going nowhere, ownership threatening to tie us to Ron long term, and Cisco coming on as some sort of leader, I am not at all sure Salmons is in the future plans here.
Didn't stop anyone earlier in the season from considering him part of the young core when it was between him and Artest. Things went 180 on him, and he's now an old ball hog.
There is no season for us. No point. We might as well be playing pickup ball for all the significance that winning has for us right now. Besides blowing draft position of course. Or helping our arch rivals' cause.
Everyone here knows that I hate the Lakers. However, I refuse to accept the responsibility of giving the Lakers the top seed in the West based on our wins and losses in the last few games of the season.
Even though I hate the Lakers, if they end up as the top seed, it is because they earned the top seed.
Be that as it may, there's no reason for a professional franchise to intentionally scheme, game plan, execute, a loss, regardless of the situation.
I never fail to be amazed by how stupid this whole enterprise is suppsoed to be. How mindless. The fans are supposed to act like idiots, cheer mindlessly, because, well, they are fans, and that's what they do. Thinking is a sign of a bad fan. The organization is supposed to leave everything on the line to win every single game, no matter how pernicious the effects, no matter how unimportant the game, or how little sense it makes for the future. Because somehow somewhere that's been written.
Its all an immensely simplistic and short sighted view of the purpose of the whole enterprise. The only acceptable purpose is to win today, this game, right now. And that's never the way it works, in life, sport, or anything else. Barring ridiculous luck, you plan for your future, or you do not have one.
The players have to come to play. Well...they don't think so. Some of ours only play when they want to despite the millions they are being paid. But in theory they have to come and bounce a ball. That's their contractural duty if nothing else. Everyone else, fans included, should be allowed to use their grey matter. To think, scheme, plot, plan, anticipate consequences and generally do anything else it takes to accomplish the real goal of this enterprise, which is not to win some meaningless game at the tail end of a lost season.
