“Kwame, disappointing coast to coast. “
Great writeup by Wizards Insider Michael Lee on Kwame getting booed in LA.
Kwame Brown has changed coasts, but not much else has changed.
Did anybody catch the Lakers-Suns game on TNT last night? Most of you guys were probably in the bed. Unfortunately, that meant that you missed seeing (or hearing) the Staples Center officially turn into Verizon Center West.
Yes, Brown was booed at home yesterday. In those same vile, unrelenting tones he once received in his last days in Washington.
…
There was a smattering of boos when Brown missed a point blank layup early in the first quarter, but the fans really gave to Brown during the third quarter, booing every time he touched the ball for long stretches. Brown blew a dunk and committed four of his seven - yes, seven - turnovers during the period and Lakers Coach Phil Jackson had to yank him for good with 3:50 left, after he picked his fifth foul. Ugh.
“I wanted to let him work his way out of it and his teammates wanted him to work his way out of it,” Jackson said. “It wasn’t going to happen.”
Does this sound familiar to anyone?
