Morrison gets key court-time for Lakers!
June 8th 2009 12:15
Did anybody notice how much time Adam Morrison spent standing on the edge of the court in today's game 2? For the much of the second and third quarters Morrison was actually on the edge of the court in street clothes.
Okay, so he was just cheerleading, but I would have hated to have paid $800 for a second row seat behind the Laker bench, hoping to get a great view of an NBA finals game, and instead seeing the back of Morrison's head and back.
Look, if you're not good enough to make the 12 for the finals squad, just take a seat and shut up.
Everybody wants all players to be great team-mates, which means supporting your guys when you aren't on the floor. But if you aren't dressed for the big dance, stay off the dance floor.
I've always hated coaches prowling the sidelines, especailly when you think that Phil Jackson and KC Jones have 11 titles between them and they hardly ever stand up. If your team can't perform unless you're calling every single pass and shot, maybe you should coach them a little better.
And one final thought on Morrison - if the Laker's do win, which seems more a case of when not if, then Morrison will get a championship ring as a contracted member of the squad. He better not appear on some half-arsed talk show proudly wearing a ring he had no part in winning.
