Jack, Sandler walk out on Lakers

Found January 12, 2013 on Diehardsport: Yardbarker Blogger Network
PLAYERS: Jack Nicholson,  Adam Sandler
TEAMS: Los Angeles Lakers
Jack Nicholson has been a prominent figure at the Staples Center, always sitting court side supporting the Los Angeles Lakers.  The Lakers were supposed to be a lock to get to the Western Conference Championship game, at the very least, and they have absolutely plummeted.  They’re on their second coach and they’ve only played 36 games; their playoff hopes are dwindling.  You know that you’re in trouble when one of your most loyal fans leaves a game early, and takes his buddy with him.  To add insult to injury, Nicholson waved good bye to the Lakers bench right before he and Sandler got up and left.Video via: @cjzero

  • Not surprizing and typical of the front runner mentality of Los Angeles fans in general. It's gratifying to see the Lakers struggle since them and their snooty fans seem to feel they're entitled to something. And Jack Nicholsons a jerk anyway.

Caption the Photo: Kobe & Dwight Howard’s Different Reactions To Being Blown Out

Via BlackSportsOnline  |  January 12, 2013
On the bright side for Kobe at least he isn’t getting divorced anymore. Call me crazy, but I think Bean is taking the losses a little harder than Dwight Howard. Remember when Jim Buss said it is 95% that Dwight re-signs with Lakers? He might have been using Romney math with that one. H/T @GrindTymeV

Jeff Van Gundy calls out Dwight Howard

Via Larry Brown Sports  |  January 11, 2013
While many media members buddy up with Dwight Howard because of his outgoing personality, Jeff Van Gundy is not falling for the act.

Shame And Confusion: The 2012-13 Lakers

Look on the bright side…The Lakers are gonna get their highest draft pick in years!  Ah, that’s right.  They traded away all their picks through the 2030 season.  It was a nice thought though. I just don’t get it!  But please, spare me all of the excuses… “They hired the wrong coach…” “They don’t mesh well on the court…” “Dwight doesn’t make his free...

Jack Nicholson and Adam Sandler leave early as Thunder blow out Lakers (Video)

Via Holdout Sports  |  January 12, 2013

Thunder remain grounded after battering Lakers

Via Pro Sports Daily  |  January 12, 2013
LOS ANGELES -- There was a time when a 15-point win over the Los Angeles Lakers on their home floor was a cause for celebration. At least a smile or two. Not in the Oklahoma City Thunder locker room, though. Not with the Lakers just a shell of their former selves. Not with bigger fish to fry. These Thunder have their eyes on a grander prize. Oklahoma City built a 20-point...

Jack Nicholson, Adam Sandler Gather Coats, Wave Goodbye to Lakers Early (Video)

Via NESN.com  |  January 12, 2013
We’re not sure what algorithm they used, but apparently 22 points was the tipping point at which Jack Nicholson and Adam Sandler considered it acceptable to abandon another poor Lakers effort. Nicholson and Sandler caught Friday night’s Staples Center event, which was billed as a game between the Lakers and Thunder. Instead, Kevin Durant dropped 42 points on the canary-colored...
