While we’re not sure what set off M.P. this time, we bet it has to do with a cryptic tweet Kobe sent out following the 48-year-old’s initial comments.

“Naw, not really, not at all, to be honest”, Scott said after practice Friday.
Russell and Bryant are hoping the upcoming season isn’t just a passing of a torch for a once-proud franchise on the hardest of times. Does Master P think that reporters weren’t going to ask where Bryant was or that the Lakers were going to try to keep it a secret?
Bryant posted a statement Thursday afternoon on Twitter, following the hip-hop mogul’s rant that Bryant’s concern about Odom is “phony”. “This is the beginning of their careers and their journey”.
Will it change the fact that the Lakers are still a lottery bound team? No. And by we here I am talking about Raven Symoné.
Despite the low external expectations, the Lakers have assembled an intriguing combination of young talent and an experienced supporting cast.
“He’s a good control guard”, Clarkson said.
Randle is viewed as the future of the Lakers organization.
So far, Bryant is impressed.
“My mom taught me when I was younger, if you don’t have anything nice to say, then don’t say anything at all”. “He wants to be great, and it starts there”. It doesn’t matter if news outlets refer to him as “NBA All-Star” or “Reality TV Star” in order to reference how their audience may best remember him. That’s the heart of it all.
One interesting tidbit to surface in this game was Brandon Bass playing the center position with Ryan Kelly at the 4. However, four of his misses came from three-point range (a shot that hopefully is limited in regular season action), so his 4-of-8 mark from two is a bit more bearable.

The Warriors frontcourt consists of Andrew Bogut, Harrison Barnes and of course, Draymond Green, who recently signed a 5-year, $82 million deal in the off-season after helping the team win their first National Basketball Association championship in 40 years. Although they did bring the Larry O’Brien trophy back to the Bay area, this team is still hungry with even more to prove this season.
