I would not be at all surprised to see them lose to the Wizards, who are 3-4 since going 0-12 to start the season. One of those wins was against Miami.

So in their last seven games, they are 3-4, while the Lakers are 1-6. The Wizards are playing much better ball than the Lakers in the last two weeks.

Think about that for a bit. :|

Something caught in your throat?

They seem to play up or down to whatever competition they're facing, so you never know.

They could have a close game and just lose against Miami or OKC, then go and win or lose by a couple points in Washington or Orlando.

The Pacers tend to do the same which infuriates me.

Then you don't watch basketball.

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.
