View Full Version : Lakers: Joke going around Lakers' front office about Dwight



The Batman

Can't resist sharing the lead to my column about the joke from inside Lakers' offices about Dwight ...
The joke making the rounds within the Lakers' organization after Dwight Howard's departure is that he didn't just head to Houston for promises to play more in the post, escape Kobe Bryant's demands, avoid state income tax and savor a smaller town again.

There were two wholly unreported elements working in critical tandem during the process:

Dwight's baby mamas. And California's sky-high child-support rates.

Howard was never going to make more money by staying, even with that fifth guaranteed year the Lakers were offering!

The fact that the Lakers can laugh – even if the humor is rude – about Howard's departure is a reflection of the relief that many inside the club feel ...

Nothing and I mean nothing will top being 28 seconds from a title only to take a 12 gauge shotty, putting it under your chin and pulling the trigger with your big toe. No sweeps, No 1-8 matchups, No nothing. They went 28 second from raising number 5 to crying and hugging one another at the airport.

So? Your franchise has lost 15 NBA Finals and had the biggest choke jobs in NBA history. 2008 Finals, choking a 20+ lead at HOME to lose a close game in the clutch, would have at least gone 7 games if they won that one, then managed to have the worst game any team has ever played in the Finals, 39 point loss in a close-out game. Kirby played like total shit for the series.

the difference is sir, there was no title on the line. That's the difference. You ask anyone which would they rather have: a 24 point lead to tie the series or a five point lead with 28 seconds on the clock to win the title, only a fool would choose the 24 point lead.

28 seconds.

EVERY game in the Finals counts, if Magic had not choked Game 2 in 84, there wouldn't have been a Game 7 to choke(Lakers=champs) to begin with. If the Heat had not choked Game 2 (I think?) against the Mavs with their 10pt lead in the 4th they wouldn't have lost in 6.

Choking is choking, every game in the Finals is a must win.

you can spin that shit however you want it and yes, it really wasn't Magic who choke in Game 2 of the 1984 NBA finals. Worthy threw a shitty pass that wiped away and great performance by him. Magic just dribbled the ball without getting a shot off and going into overtime. Magic choked in Game 4 which probably would have been the greatest choke job in NBA history until the Spurs in 2013. Up 5 with 59 seconds and had possession of the ball. And missed two key free throws in overtime. Yes, there are chokes but the GREATEST CHOKE OF ALL TIME DWELLS IN THE ALAMO CITY.

you're trying too hard dude especially when it comes to Bryant. I'm probably one of the few Laker fans who will say LeBron has had better final moments than Bryant but it still will not erase the fact that Sesame Street was brought to us today by the number 28 and the letter L as in loss.
