Series Thread: ECF: Boston Celtics vs Cleveland Cavs

the thing is the son is right behind him and seems to be in the same boat-----not running his mouth- but he could stop this if he wanted to but he doesnt want to.

Fear maybe. He doesn't mind it now. It may impact him when it starts affecting his career. Honestly, I think he has his kids brainwashed.

He's a leech. It's time to let your kid go off on become a man. His dad wants him in LA so he can control him. He's also living vicariously through his kid because he never had the talent to make it to the league. I never took him seriously, especially when he started spouting off about how he could beat Jordan one-on-one in his prime. Lavar Ball could barely make it through rec leagues while Jordan's beating Kidd-Ghilcrist one-on-one at the magical age of 50.

^ This.....all of this^

That's why I didn't want him to go to the Lakers.

I have been high on Lonzo from the moment he committed to UCLA.

I want him to succeed.

But, that sack of shit Father has put a huge target on his back.

The players and opposing fans are gonna punish this kid.

It's come to the point where I'm starting to root against the kid and Lavar's other spawn. It's become that bad.

That's not fair, Russ.

This man is domineering.

Fuck he supposed to say while he's living under the same roof?

It's not just you.

If every success from Lonzo gives Lavar a bigger platform, it's a human reaction to prefer he doesn't because we all want his dad to go the fuck away.

Fucking Stockholm syndrome.

Thomas (hip) out for remainder of playoffs

looks like Thomas has begged off the rest of the playoffs.

Little guy like him- you can only take so many falls, so much physicality before it catches up with you.

He is great becuase he plays that way but it has a price.

 

[gordontrue]

"Lonzo can come home and see his mom and dad all the time".

Holy shit, what an asshole.

The thing is - not that it matters - Kyrie was actually very respectful in the conversation about Lavar. I listened to the whole podcast and Kyrie was the one actually sticking up for Lavar - saying that while it looks bad from the outside, we can't judge what their relationship is really like.

He played the day after the night his sister died.
I'm guessing he's just injured vs begging off.
Is Khawi also begging off?

 

[DarthVedder]

With or without Thomas the series was over any way. There no point in forcing it.

 

[DorianRo]

Thomas "begged" because hes a bitch. He runs his mouth against nobodies but his dick turns inwards against superior competition.

No team should want that Carny midget. Hes you're typical BULLY that projected strength on the ball court to compensate for his lack of size both vertically and horizontally

Probably not. Pops new the series was lost after they blew a 25 point lead in Game 1. He knows how it goes

dont be a hater!

He should tell him to eat a dick, like every other teenage kid tells their dad.

Miss you fucker.

 

[mick7-1961]

So what does that make tbe Wizards?

I'll take "what is a crappy team sitting at home watching the playoffs" for $500, Alex..

 

[Mecca of the “B” Team]

I'm really not.

I like the Kid and wish he could get away from this imbecile.

But, you know what?

I just read an article that has altered my perception.

Maybe the Lakers are the perfect place for the kid.


Reportedly Alford and UCLA laid down ground rules for LaVar — he couldn’t come to practice, he couldn’t call Alford and complain, and more — and he followed them. He was not a problem.

Teams are not worried anyway, with a sense that peer pressure will take of any problems. If LaVar goes off on his son’s teammates, you can bet the rookie Lonzo will pay the price. It will not be long before Lonzo tells his dad to cool it. Luke Walton himself understands the dynamic — he came into the league on a veteran-heavy Lakers team while his father, Bill, was an outspoken broadcaster who blasted players. Veterans told Luke up front he would pay the price for his father’s words (not that it shut Bill up, I mean, you’ve heard him).

He should tell him to eat a dick, like every other teenage kid tells their dad.

Hmmmmm.....easier said than done. This is a big black Dude with an even bigger mouth. It seems obvious that he rules his family with an Iron fist.

He doesn't come off as physically abusive. But, physically intimidating? Yeah.

Lonzo's just now big enough to cash those checks that come with mouthing off to one's father.

The wife seems to be no help at all either.

Add the fact that he has purchased his kids loyalty via 2 of them ( Lonzo and LiAngelo) driving $100,000 cars as High School Seniors and you get compliant children.

Amazing that there's people that side with Lavar Ball.

Wow. What a piece of shit [/QUOTE]

I honestly think he is not mentally tough, some of his teammates too. You talk shit before the series and shit your pants. I would want to not play the rest of the series after getting manhandled.

some cat with 3 testicles? i dunno, man...
