Son of Walton

A blog of quotes that are just as messed up as hilarious. There's some truth and some frustration. We stand in the middle of it all, we love Luke but some people think he doesn't even deserve to be called by his name anymore.


Anyway, because of a first half injury to Son of Walton (vaginal inflammation?), the Lakers were forced to use a lineup that I've been suggesting for days. This is what I said on Monday:

Simple solution to Son of Walton crapfest: Shift Kobe to the 3 and start a backcourt of D-Fish and (heavy sigh) Sasha Vujacic. I can’t believe I wrote that, but Vujacic is a lot better offensively this year and his defense gets under the opposition’s skin. And Kobe at the three spot is a ton better than Son of Walton.

Well, son of Walton's case of sudden vaginal inflammation caused Jackson to make the change tonight and hopefully this'll shed some light on the Zenmaster. Until Bynum and Trevor Ariza return, the Lakers best chance is Kobe at the three, facilitating, passing and attacking from the post and sides of the court.

Son of Walton sucks. It’s gotten so bad that the Lakers post game show is praising Luke Walton when he plays semi-decentlyin spurts. After the game, people were cracking on him just a little (somehow this guy is immune to blatant criticism from Lakers Nation) and the host Matt "Money" Smith was like, “Well… the fist half was below average, but I felt he had a few good moments in the second half, so you can’t blame the loss on him.” Why the pass from Laker fans? When did Luke Walton become the retarded kid in third grade that we awkwardly put up with during reading sessions? People... it’s called a contract year! He got his big contract and now he’s fat, injured and lazy.

Melo was on fire at that point, feasting off the dead carcass known as Luke Walton (who's 3 more shitty games from losing the rights to the last name of Walton)

5. Luke Walton

Screw the NBA pedigree, screw the "high basketball I.Q." and screw the fact that he's coming off an injury (an excuse used by the Lakers postgame radio show), Luke Walton is flat out stealing money from the Lakers. Last season is looking more like the typical NBA player in a contract year. But I'll let the numbers speak for themselves: Walton, after signing a 6-year $30 million, rewarded the Lakers with a scoring average drop from 11.4 to 7.8 ppg., a field goal percentage drop from 47.4% to 45.4%, a freethrow percentage drop from 74.5% to 64.6% and a drop in rebounding from 5.0 to 3.7 rpg. He looks slower, his defense is worse and he passes aren't as crisp as in previous seasons.

As I've said before, Trevor Ariza needs to take Walton's place in the starting lineup. His energy, defensive effort and overall appreciation from the Staples Center fans are much needed in the opening minutes.

The Association should stop hating on the kid. Give him a chance to bail himself out of this before you strip him of his name. That is all.
