      Stephen A is on a smear campaign against the Lakers. He’s gonna criticize them if they lose to the defending champs as the underdogs and make it more about them losing than Denver winning or if they somehow win will belittle it 😂.

    Wouldn't asking whether the Lakers would tank the game be seen as worse to Darwin Hamm than someone suggesting they should? Like he literally said that was an insane suggestion. So, to Hamm, Stephen A is asking if he is insane, rather than simply suggesting an insane idea.

    @ 1:10 On Monday, April 15th's Get Up, ESPN's Mike Greenberg said, "Here is what I am proposing that the Lakers should do. Tomorrow night, they should not play LeBron James; they should not play Anthony Davis. They should tank the 7-8 game, (and) take their chances in a Friday night, one-and-done at home against either Golden State or Sacramento and go in and play OKC, instead of playing Denver in Round One, which is a buzzsaw!"
    So get your facts straight Stephen A., before lecturing others!

Because you walk into a buzz saw..." Oh, sorry...you did qualify that with "weak assed reporters", so that would include Greeny.

YOU are the problem with the industry because you have all these platforms so you think you have the world in your hands.
