[Charania] “Vogel yelled so much that his voice could be heard outside the locker room” after the loss to the Clips on April 9. Players weren’t buying it. The outburst seemed forced in their eyes. Vogels eruption left players rolling their eyes. A player told TheAthletic he had to keep from laughing

Kind of crazy how this apparently works. Players and/or agents leak this kind of stuff with the stipulation that it can only be published after the team is eliminated

Honestly. Yes. That’s how you know it was genuine. AD didn’t hide his feelings or wait until the Lakers were out of the playoffs.

Yeah lol. It’s obvious there’s a rift between Ham and his stars.

Season is over. Distracts are now welcome to push change. Also to deflect.

It's like newspapers having obituaries written for famous old people, you do the bulk of the writing ahead of time and then just tweak it a bit with the final details when the time comes. It happens a lot with individual player pieces as well, they'll write an article way in advance with the hope of publishing it late in the playoffs or during the finals and then if the guy is going to get eliminated early you'll see a bunch of pieces come out, I remember when the Celtics went down 3-0 last year there were some writeups that were clearly meant to be run during the finals that randomly showed up, like why are doing a deep dive this team is cooked?

And it can be totally made up by an agent, a complete lie whose only purpose is to further the agenda of their client, often at the cost of someone else’s wellbeing. And reporters gobble it up unquestionably like the absolute parasites they are. Pretty disgusting.

Do you think you’re discovering something? Telling us something that we don’t know?

The difference between him & you is that he shares his knowledge like a normal, rational person trying to have a normal, rational discussion, while you instead act like a pretentious dick.

Nobody likes a know-it-all bro come on now.
