Analysts Wonder if the Lakers Are Using Reverse Psychology

Boy, those Lakers are really dumb. They have a great excuse, that the Clippers beat them because they didn’t have Shaquille O’Neal. And then, the very next night, they beat the Chicago Bulls without Shaq.

Thirty-four points, 14 rebounds, great hustle. Now the world knows why Laker fans are so frustrated with Elden Campbell. He can be great when he tries. Why doesn’t he try more often?

Has Del Harris finally seen the light? If he would stick to an eight- or nine-man rotation and let the Lakers run, then we would have the team everyone wants. You’re over-coaching, Del!
