Can someone just try to come up with one reason why Bass is playing over Tarik? Wtf!
I see nothing but bad plays on both sides of the court. Byron must want to get fired. _________________ Alltime lineup: Magic | Kobe | MJ | Hakeem | KAJ

I don't know what Tarik Black has to do to earn playing time but I feel like he has done it. _________________ Love, Laker Lanny |

Bass is a good player. Problem is, we have so many young guys to develop at his position. |

Lakers need to trade Bass to a better team at the earliest opportunity for both his and their sake. |

It's freaking ridiculous that Black gets freaking benched for no freaking reason!!
he actually plays defense and plays well whenever he gets playing time,
but freaking Byron just decided to bench him again??? wtf |

I prefer Black to Bass at the moment, Black should get more minutes and playing time than Bass. If this season is about letting the younger players develop then don't bench Black play him over Bass. |

But even if winning is the first priority, Black should still get more minutes than Bass. Byron isn't gonna play Bass at PF, sadly, which is the reason he's struggling. He's not a rim protector, nor does he rebound well when he plays C. He has no value when he's out there, a lot like Sacre. He's just...on the court. That's it. Black proves his worth every single time he plays, so Byron really has no reason to keep making him ride the bench. And I still think the way he treats players and distributes minutes has personal reasons attached to it, for whatever reason. That's the only way I can make any sense out of his weird rotations. _________________ “Christ did not die to forgive sinners who go on treasuring anything above seeing and savoring God.

It is frustrating. Why the hell does Byron LOVE Bass so much? Black is way more effective at Center. It is driving me crazy. _________________ R.I.P. Doc Buss |

There is absolutely nothing he can do. He already out plays Bass and is the best PnR big on the team (offense not defense). It took Ronnie Price going down to get his ass out of the lineup and that's what it will take with Bass. |

I feel the same way. It will take an injury to get Byron to use Black. It should not come to that, no one should have to be injured to improve a team. Byron is just maddening. _________________ R.I.P. Doc Buss |

They may as well let TB get in a D-league game or two since he's just riding the pine. |

Maybe in his eyes Tarik Black is all 'treble' and you KNOW what Byron is all about. |

Someday, perhaps in his old age, Byron will realize that Brandon Bass should only play PF. |

Feel bad for Tarik. He'd be contributing on another team. |

Tarik is so deep into the doghouse that even if he did manage to crawl out, he still wouldn't be able to find the foxhole... |
