What's with the cheap shots at Mason? We all know his troubles. Talk about Starks and his drug dealing past. I am not excusing Mason but come on.

Come on you Mason-lover. Mason was renowned for banging drunk high-school girls. Now Starks being a drug dealer? I never heard that, but I googled it and just found out.

In my world view somebody selling drugs is not as low as taking advantage of teenage girls, but you are welcome to crack on Starks if you feel like it. Get it? "Crack on"

I got to look out for those guys from the old neighborhood. I don't like to much Odom bashing either.

Nixluva, you don't get it but as a coach/manager it is professional to talk to your employees. If you have not been in a professional environment it is hard to describe. You just don't walk into a workspace and say Bob, Jane and Ben, you're all on board. The rest well you'll figure it out. Curry and D'Antoni aren't best friends or a couple that are breaking up. There should be professional procedural methods involved. Management 101.


Yeah, when you work for a corporation its professional for your supervisor to come to you and say things like: You can't come in 3 hrs late every day, you gotta stop bringing your bong to work, flip-flops are not a part of buiseness casual attire. I mean when you are in a corporate enviroment certain things don't need to be explained, same as in sports.

The approach that Eddie is taking to this benching is exactly the reason he came into camp out of shape, in the first place!!! He feels he is entitled. He feels that even if he is out of shape and plays horribly in preseason he will be guaranteed a spot in the line-up. He expected it so much that when it didn't happen the way he expected, he was embarrassed.

If you listen real closely you will hear the sound of silence from Roberson. He's not talking to the media about Mike not discussing things with him. He had no expectation to play because he knew he didn't earn it. EC didn't earn it either, but somehow had the expectation. Gallinari isn't talking to the media about why he played 3 minutes and then didn't play again in the second half. He could be embarrassed too. No sounds from Malik about his playing time either. The only guy complaining is one of the two guys that came into camp out of shape!!!!

It's all tied in together. Eddie is upset because he thought he had worked hard enough to play. He said it in his own words that he thinks he's in "pretty good shape". He still have fans that will back him up and tell him he's the one who is right in all this. And that is also why he has not changed. He's now getting a new reaction from a coach. One he is not used to. One in which he isn't seen as a cornerstone that deserves a conversation about his playing time. He is a 12th man on the bench sitting alongside Roberson. There isn't a team in the league where the 12th man on the bench gets to complain about playing time.

Hopefully this will wake him up and he will have some great practices and for once realize his potential
I just hope that people will like me

i dunno about u but i was once laid off from a major corporation & nothing was said to me in the days leading up to it... it just happened... my supervisor gave me no clues whatsoever & things seemed peachy keen whenever i bumped into her... ideally you would like to be talked to if something like this is about to happen but if u know u'r not doing the things that are expected of u in the workplace, u really have no right to cry or moan about not being warned before the company decides to go in another direction... Eddy's a grown man & he's making $9 million freakin' bucks to sit his fat lazy butt on the sidelines & still has $18 mil more coming to him!!!... what the hell does he got to complain about anyway???

But someone told you weren't working there anymore? You didn't just show up the next day and someone say hey what are you doing here I thought you got laid off.

as far as i know Eddy's still collecting a pretty huge paycheck & is employed... look, the bottomline is Eddy knows damn well what he needs to do to get back into the rotation & in his heart he knows he's not doing it... deflection of blame & a lack of accountability has been a trend around here for a while now... maybe we should be criticizing Eddy for his apparent lack of desire to get w/the program instead of bashing the head coach for not telling his fat overweight C that he's not gonna play until he does?
