I can't believe the Junior High Bloggers they have writing for the LA Times.  I thought it was a real paper.

Read this this morning. Do yourself a favor..... just laugh at TJ Simers. Everyone else around the country does.

Is he still having his tickle party with Manny?

I wouldn't worry about Simers. He's easily one of the worst writers ever. All he does is bash everything possible to get attention.

His radio show was even worse and was canceled.

I saw that and wrote that dude an email this morning. Terrible. He and Phil whining about the refs makes Doc look more and more classy every day.

That's just encouraging him.  As others have said he's just being inflammatory to get attention.  He's the homeless man's Skip Bayless.

Wow! I think he would get banned for trolling here if he posted that.

Or my high school English teacher would give him an "F" for complete incoherency.

No wonder why newspapers are going out of business.

I haven't been overly impressed by the pro-Lakers media lately.  Between Tim Green and this, it leaves a lot to be desired.

Wow, this is really embarrassing. Is Simers actually paid to write this stuff? It is sophomoric at best and moronic at worst. Does the guy actually know anything about the game? How many times does he call the Celtics a "horrible" team in the story? He has to be on the Lakers payroll, because that is the only way he could write something this bad and embarrassing. If the Celtics end up winning this series, we all should be all over this guy with emails.

No, not really. He's the classic example of a internet troll. Those type of people are hurt the worst when noone pays attention to them.

The Celtics stink, and their fans pretty much know it.

Celtics fans aren't all that swift either, forgetting the NBA motto "where amazing happens," as if there was any way the NBA wasn't going to fix things and stretch this dream matchup out as long as possible.

Now Boston probably thinks it has a chance, forgetting for a moment that Kevin Garnett is averaging four rebounds a game and will be two days older the next time the Celtics play the Lakers.

As horrible as the Celtics might be, at least now they (the Lakers) know they have to do more than just show up.

These things really stood out. Wow!
