    Von Wafer shouldnt even be talking to RA. Just sit your azz over there on the bench until your number is called. Von was in the wrong no two ways about it..

    I am guessing it got something to do with scola. Since that elbow by fisher, scola has been benched. Von must of said something about putting scola back in, which AD is against. AD wants us to play toughest and defense but not dirty tricks.

    Someone on here posted that Wafer was kind of a dumbass and not the best guy in the locker room.

    It's pretty clear he's not the brightest bulb in the bunch. To do this **** now of all times certainly demonstrates that. :mad:

    Rick and Von are grown men so let them do what grown men do and that is sit down and talk it out.

    It's the playoffs and we don't have time for little childish Temper Tantrums from a player.

    I expect him to be back in Game 3.

    Rick and Von just talk it out for the good of the team my good men.

    Artest should shave off his Vonhawk.

    Apparently, he was yelling at Adelman, "I'm the Tracy McGrady of Greece!"

    Sasha ALWAYS gets into his head, Wafer almost took his head off on a block attempt during the regular season. He's got to develop more self control.

    I remember when Adelmant took him out last series after he had a good stretch and immediately came out...he was pullin on his jersey, untucking it and b****ing about it on his way to the bench...i get that adelman's moves dont always make sense, but he needs to bring it down a notch..

    Looks like the Laker fans were right, when they said he has a bad attitude.

    Sucks, I liked his game a lot. But what a dumbass to yell at the coach...seriously. We could have used him when Artest was thrown out.

    Pretty much were down Wafer, Artest, and Yao (fronting) late in the game....sucks.

    BUT, i forgot to say this...i use to think Von was like selfish and a bad teammate because of stuff like this, but i notice he gets a long well with the team and usually cheers just like the other from the bench....i think he's just got issues with himself, like he wants always keep playing or go back to fix his mistakes....so he's not ALL bad, but needs more self control anyway..

    I just hope Wafer wanted in to retaliate and Adelman took exception. I sincerely hope he wasnt b****ing about playing time.

    Confrontation with Morey? Crossed the line there, Von. Pray he doesn't start up 2k9 to find a replacement.

    I don't know what was said but Vonneeds to play he's just another weapon we need . He Slasher and puts pressure on the D. He Also can hit the open J.

    I really hope so. He's a part of this team and we need him to succeed this postseason.
