I thought this could be a fun thread idea. Nothing serious, just a casual thread about who on the team you've enjoyed watching or have been disappointed by this year and why. To me, the only guys that haven't driven me bat-shit crazy so far are Artest, Kobe, Hill, Meeks, and Duhon. Guys like Morris and Sarce play hard and so I don't resent them, they just suck haha.

Dwight, Pau, and Blake have all infuriated me this year, especially Dwight and Pau since I have no expectations for Blake whatsoever. Watching Dwight miss rotations or get stripped is going to make me prematurely bald. Pau playing like a girl or something (kudos if anyone gets the reference) has on and off annoyed me since 2008.

Have at it.

Oh thought this was on the main board...

Okay, in regard to the Lakers:

Pau has driven me nuts since the Dallas series. Not sure where his head is most nights.

Kobe still amazes me. Especially this year. Even with all that amazement, he still irritates me when I feel he jacks up shots without passing off to a teammate who has a better shot.

The players formerly known as Ron Artest single-handedly won the Charlotte game. His 3-point shooting has improved this year. He may be the only Laker I see with true effort out there.

Howard is playing very well for someone who is not 100%. His free throws may be improving. I'm ok with Howard.

LTZ has not irritated me over the past six weeks or so because he has been out with an injury.

Still love Jordan Hill's energy even if D'Antoni doesn't.

i hate watching Mr Pringles. Like Phil told him ones "what a f:":": is wrong with you, sit down". he should tell him what F&8(*& is wrong with you resign.

for Pau, he is like an account who is asked to do sales just because he works for the same company

Hill has a herniated disk

Metta is the most fun this season

Cajon

I've thoroughly enjoyed watching MWP and Hill play this season. They give it all and never leave anything behind. 110% energy and effort.

Disliked? Edrunk.

Ron

He's dressing...I thought you couldn't play with a herniated disk? Am I missing something here? Why is he dressing?

e-monk

silver screen and roll has said herniation - the lakers have been citing spasms

King Sancho Fantastic

I've disliked Pau's play. Some if that can be attributed to him and the coaching staff not utilizing him properly.

He's pissed me off with stuff that has nothing to do with coaching. How many times has a guard stolen a rebound out of his hands this year?

Qft. And now that you mention that, Dwight needs to learn to keep the ****ing ball high because him getting stripped on the way up all the time is pissing me off too.
