Report: Lakers Won’t Fire Byron Scott This Season

This season has already been an embarrassing one for the Los Angeles Lakers as they are 3-19 and the worst team in the Western Conference but it doesn’t come without it’s bright spots. After entering the fourth quarter with 8:12 remaining, Russell also missed his last five shots. He’s stunting my growth!’ I try to learn as much as I can from him.

Rookie D’Angelo Russell had a career-high 24 points and added six assists and six rebounds for Los Angeles.

That mistake partly led Aldridge to sign with the Spurs to a four-year, $80 million deal.

The San Antonio Spurs did not play like themselves on Wednesday in their road loss to the Toronto Raptors.

“He had one of those All-Pro type games”, Lakers Coach Byron Scott said.

“(Kobe) came in at a very young age and performed well for a very, very long time”, said Popovich, who hugged Bryant afterwards. The Lakers hot shooting from the first half cooled off significantly and the Spurs continued rolling to the tune of a 17 point lead. “He knows that. It’s just taken a little time”.

“That’s the LaMarcus we need all the time”, said forward David West.

Russell and Williams scored 15 apiece in the half for the Lakers. “So, we’ll what the fans and the coaches decide, and then, we’ll go from there”.

Naturally, the Spurs are considered heavy favourites in this match as they have a title-contending team and are playing considerably better than the Lakers in the current season. “Every chance I get, I always sit next to him and bend his ear”. Ray McCallum started in place of Parker…. Scott does not expect Clarkson to play Saturday in Houston…. He’s mature enough to understand that, and that Russell, Randle and Jordan Clarkson are the future of the Lakers. Barring the unlikely event that the Lakers make the playoffs, Bryant will retire with a 3-2 edge over San Antonio in playoff series won in which he participated.

Adam Silver, because he’s good at these sorts of things, deftly eased into Kobe’s global impact as a way of deflecting attention away from fans likely voting in the Worst All-Star Ever this winter.

For many years the BBoyz and I would fight over Kobe, me expressing a dislike for his selfish cockiness and them pointing out his greatness, feistiness and singularity of will. My initial disdain grew into appreciation for the plethora of qualities the Black Mamba had without an apparent rival.

“Patty’s been comfortable all year”, Spurs Head Coach Gregg Popovich said about Mills’ performance.

Desopite being a five-time National Basketball Association champion and scoring 32,734 points during his 20-year career, the last two seasons have shown that other players in the league, at the shooting guard position especially, are better than Kobe. “He’s one of those very, very few guys who did that”.
