"Portland's Scottie Pippen is extremely unhappy with his teammates, according to the Oregonian. Pippen saw his teammates in the locker room after their 96-86 loss to the Warriors on Sunday night laughing and having a good time, much to his dismay. "It ticks me off," Pippen said, referring to his team's postgame antics. "It really says you accept losing. Winning should be when you earn the right to sit in the locker room and talk." Isn't that funny?
He went 1-7 that game. With the way Wells has played and Anderson coming back, Cheeks should really look at putting Pippen on the bench. He's sucking right now and has been since last yr.
Despite how he played that night, he's right. Players should never accept losing, and clowning around in the locker room after a loss is something that I always assumed wouldn't happen. Pippen is actually right in this situation.

You think he's trying to get traded to...oh, let's say.....an Eastern Conference Team whose intials are W.W.???
Since last year? I can't remember a game before that, that he actually looked decent at all! Most over-rated player ever!
Pippen and you are both wrong IMO. "Clowning around in the locker room after a loss" doesn't mean you're happy with the way you played or that you accept losing. Aren't you allowed to laugh if you have a bad day at work? nilsrock
My thoughts exactly! Still chaps my ass every time I think of him being on the top 50 team and not Dominique Wilkins.
That is what I'm talking about! To me nique had better impact on the game. ....and don't talk to me about him being a role player for the champion buuls.
Don't be too hard on Mr. Pippen-he's just a great player trying to get by in a tough world earning over 17mil this season. He has exacting standards and an diciplined -anal mind. No laughing, joking, or clowning in his locker room. This s**t is serious
I really think Pippen is the worst kind of jerk. He truly did the Rockets serious damage complaining to the media about his situation. He forced a trade. All the NBA knew that he would never be happy after his complaints to the media about Houston and Barkley. He made it impossible for us to get anything for him. We have Cato and Walt to show for the trade. The sad part is that Rudy and CD added Shandon Anderson and later Steve Francis to the mix which would have added speed - and complemented Pippen's game. I don't like Pippen, but he has skills. His fluid movement, excellent defense, speed, and shooting were an asset for the Bulls in '97. He sure did not do the Rockets any favors though.
