Couldn't help but grab my iPad and blog about the Dallas/LA game. What a bunch of bums. The Lakers are supposed to be champions. Well that means you act like champions whether you win or lose. The two cheap shots in the fourth quarter were definitely uncalled for. Especially the foul on Bynum. I would start the trade papers right now before the game is over. Bynum is a pathetic excuse of a basketball player anyway, and now he just confirmed that. What really disturbs me is that their leader on the floor didn't immediately call his team together and send a message that this kind of bush league play needs to stop now.
I am watching the game with my 13 year old son, who is a basketball player in his own right. He idolizes most of the players and tries to play like they do. What kind of a message do these displays of poor sportsmanship send to kids his age? Is it ok to try and injure the opponent who has just kicked your butt? What Bynum did to Barea should get him suspended at the start of next year. There is no place for that kind of play at any level, especially at the highest level of the sport. Don't take your frustration of being a poor player who has never lived up to the billing, by trying to take out a defenseless, in the air opponent.
Take the defeat like men. My father always told me that you win and lose with dignity. Sometimes the team you are playing is just better than you. Today, Dallas was by far the better team on the floor. Accept it Lakers, you have been the champions for the last two years, but today because of two players you looked like a bunch of bums.
