Kwame Booos
Jan 19, 2008 | 4:00AM | report this

Okay, we fans booed Kwame… we a bit forget that jeering the man was akin to cheering for the Suns.  It may also sound like carrying the torch for Nash and his team of underachieving Phoenix Suns.  But can you censure us LA team enthusiast in our action?  Lest you forget it is you players of the great Lakers team who encourage us to turn up into the Staple Center promising us an honest to goodness games in any given night.  It is this Management of the Lakers team who guarantee us that they are doing their very best to offer us breathing space from a hard days work with an excellent Lakers game.  It is Coach Jackson who guarantees a defensive oriented Kwame and requires the team to facilitate touches into Kwame to give him opportunity to feel his offensive game. 

 

Did the Lakers team, gave us an honest to goodness good game?  Did Buss, Jackson and Kupchack do their best to provide us a respite from our hard days work?  Did Jackson prove Kwame was not a defensive and offensive liability and do the touches made to Kwame prove that when opportunity occurs Kwame could provide some good plays in both ends of the court?  THE ANSWER IS A DEFINITE NO!

  

We have compensated the Staples Center with our hard earned dollar to see a first-rate basketball game, but you gave us Kwame’s 7TOs, miss dunk, a rim offensive interference (2 point less to the score) and three long years of injuries and embarrassing career.  You also give us Kwame’s spectator’s attention to the game and not his own concentration to the play at hand.  We are not booing him because we love Phoenix more but we expect a good game from him considering LA is paying him a hefty 9M USD to play hard that would commiserate the amount that is spent for him.  We are booing him because he’s not Bynum but professional basketball players so should play the game with so much intensity and lots of fire and did he play that way?

You are definitely right that the Suns are under-acheiving. Just wait until they get out of their funk, and you will see the team that has rightfully dominated the Pac Division for the last 4 years.

That said, it looks like it's going to be a tight division now that both the Lakers and Suns are so competitive.

Kwame sucks... but he also deserves a little bit of time to get back in his groove before fans start booing.

9.4 million for Kwame. That alone should get Kupchek fired. We used to have season tickets at the forum but priced out at Staples. And this is why? 9.4 for Brown. 5.7 for Vlad the self impaler, 14.4 for Lamar :OH GOD NO I REFUSE TO STEP UP AND HOLD THE FORT WHILE BYNUM IS OUT Odumb.
