Metta World Peace: "I'll probably sit out Sunday ... I was the weak link tonight"

[100%duncan]

Another quitter for dem Lakers. :rolleyes

[Venti Quattro]

It's not like it will matter whether he plays or not.

[DesignatedT]

He is really bad right now. Not sure this doesn't help LA lol.

[Whisky Dog]

Post up Kawhi on whatever they decide to put on him

[J_Paco]

Earl Clark and Devin Ebanks should see a lot of time on Sunday. Other than Pau and Dwight, the Lakers are practically a D-League team right now. Louisville might give them some run at this point.

LOLOLOLOL

I thinks Sunday's game will be pretty close. I clowned on Splitter all night but he played some solid defense on Dwight. I can see Howard going apeshit on Bonner or Blair.

[Fireball]

yep ... people will start to miss Splitter when opposing teams again score 100+ against us

Three games in and it still hasn't happened...

Gasol and Howard can't do it. So they're all of a sudden going to regress?

[timvp]

Considering Metta is liable to snap at any moment, I'd rather him sit out Sunday. I don't think he'd take too kindly to another embarrassment.

[crc21209]

Damn the Lakers are falling apart like crazy...

[spurs10]

Yep! :toast

[DrSteffo]

Yeah MWP could snap and I'm a bit worried about Howard too, not as a player but as a thug.

[hater]

funny thing is Dwight gotta play about 30+ minutes one more time :lmao

[Fireball]

Splitter left the game in the second half ... lets see what happens Sunday when Blair plays more minutes ...

[024]

everyone is abandoning ship

[ploto]

How would any team look with their top 4 guards in street clothes and their best defender having his knee drained in an attempt just to play? I certainly hope the Spurs themselves are keeping a better perspective than their fans.

[jermaine]

I watch MWP all the time. His demeanor, an he seems to be keeping his cool very well. Giving Spurs players chest slaps, ass pats, an hand shakes. I think he's tryna put his bid in to be Kawhi's backup next season.

Agreed. The guy's nuts and I wouldn't put it past him to try to hurt one of the Spurs.

[Budkin]

Just put them out of their misery... this series is a joke. Yet I still love it.

He was great keeping his cool until he plowed an elbow into James Harden's head a while back.

Never happen. Pop is DONE with alumni of the Malice in the Palace.

[baseline bum]

So Artest's last game in a Lakers uniform was their worst home loss in playoff history? :lol

Still, he did bail Kobe out in game 7, so he'll always have that.

Game 6 push. Our goal is game 6. Lets go Lake Show
(https://twitter.com/MettaWorldPeace/status/328259381978345472) lmao and then there's this.

[exstatic]

He was nutty to go for game 3. There is hope, though, down 2-0. Not so much at 3-0.

[DesignatedT]

goal is game 6 lol

[BackHome]

I think that Blair and Howard are going to get into it cause Blair won't take cheap shots and he is going to give as good as he gets. I think that Howard being the punk that he is will take this way out and get ejected around the second or third quarter.

[phyzik]

MWP is quitting... plain and simple. He knows the score and doesn't want to fuck up his career for simple pride.

I don't blame him for his decision. They had no chance to begin with. He tried, even going so far as coming back early from knee surgery and then getting his knee drained before the last game and still trying to contribute. I cant hate on him for that. Despite all his faults, and all the hate he has received from everyone, including laker fans, he has a warriors spirit. He shouldn't risk his career for a failed team just for prides sake though.

[xtremesteven33]

Goal is game 6 :lol

[LkrFan]

Lakers are resting him for game 5. :ihit

That's not quitting. Quitting is without a reason, other than your team is getting punked.
