For the past couple of weeks Byron Scott has been really vocal about his teams problems. I went as far as to say in the last post I did about him that he simply says dear diary to any news outlet that’ll listen to him.
And the fact that the Lakers are garbage could only further rile up the ‘angry fans’ that Byron Scott’s family member (who handles his Instagram) is talking about. Byron isn’t sweating about it.
“There’s been a lot of angry fans,” Scott said Saturday after the 2-12 Lakers’ morning shootaround at the Moda Center in advance of their game against the Portland Trail Blazers.
“She says she’s trying to hold her tongue and not respond. And I tell her, look, don’t respond back to anybody. Because she’s family, she takes it personal. And I don’t read it because I know me — I take it personal and I might say something and I don’t want to get into that with people.”
“I don’t pay a whole lot of attention to fans because fans are fans. Fans aren’t at practice every day. They don’t know the preparation. They don’t know what goes into it. They just see the end product, so they have no idea. And they all have their opinions, but I don’t put a lot of stock into it.
“That’s why I don’t go on my Instagram and all that stuff, because as [she] would tell me, a lot of them are pissed off and hot and all this and then you’ve got some that are very supportive that say, ‘Hey, we know it’s a process. We know it’s going to take a few years.’ But this is L.A. You want to win right away.”
Well he doesn’t mince words much does he. We’re fans guys we don’t know what’s up.
Sure we aren’t all there from the training sessions to the scrimmages but at least with some teams we see growth, the Lakers look stagnant. Scott just talks about Kobe and then watch him build a brickhouse.
