But ya that league pass thing is a pain in the ass. I got it once it wouldn't let me watch Raptors games because I live to close to Toronto....

I have league pass and it pisses me off that on league pass broadband I can't watch Laker games. I have a projector on a 120 inch screen in the backyard hooked up to an Apple TV and I can't enjoy Laker games there unless I do a shitty stream online.

Plus if I'm ever traveling somewhere outside of LA and the game isn't on national TV I'm ****ed.

Anyone still think Kobe's uber efficiency is going to last the whole season?

Anybody think that to begin with?

Vince needs some closure. Eight years have gone by so enough with the boo's.

Read the thread on Mayo and Cousins. A fellow Miami fan disagrees with you.

How long ago was this thread? Can't remember which one you're talking about.

I've always said that I don't think it matters how much of a 'cancer' the player is if you stick him in the right situation. Teams like the Spurs always get these underperforming players and the best out of them. I just can't believe that Blatche would come to a team like Miami, a genuine title favourite, and pull the same shit he used to. And if he did, you just get rid of him.

With how small our team is, I can't see how a 6-11 guy, averaging 12/6 in 20 mins wouldn't be helpful. From what I've seen he's also really athletic and can run the floor, as well as handle the ball.

Its in the Sacramento forum. Should be one of the top 2 threads. It was someone arguing against exactly what you just posted.

On my end I agree with you though. If you get a team full of misfits, malcontents, and just immature players, of course they're going to have issues. You bring one of those guys to a solid locker room where no ones going to put up with that shit? Its sink or swim, and quite often they smarten up and swim. Like Blatche or McGee, even if he is still a dimwit. They can't teach him to be smart, he's an idiot, there's no changing that. But they can teach him to behave and play within they system.
