		<description>Well Jennie, if we&#039;re doing grammar corrections, please...allow me.

&quot;I can&#039;t tell you&#039;re not the brightest bulb around&quot;
-You CAN&#039;T tell? Hmmm.

&quot;If you’re kid was failing in school do you think that shoving his repot card in his face would help?&quot;
-If &#039;your&#039; kid: you&#039;RE means you are.

&quot;But he needs support, that continues to be my point.&quot;
-Cannot start a sentence with &#039;But&#039; and this is a run-on sentence.


The thing I hate more than a hypocritical feminist, are fans that continue to love Sasha when he continues to dissapoint. If Phil doesn&#039;t log in more minutes with him (smartest thing he&#039;s done), we can continue to see the Machine malfunction and wonder why.</description>

		<description>First I&#039;d like to begin by saying &quot;GO SASHA, GO LAKERS! Will see you at the parade tomorrow!  Now -

ayejay, I won&#039;t even honor your last remark with a response- I can&#039;t tell you&#039;re not the brightest bulb around, so I&#039;ll leave it at that.  Oh and by the way it&#039;s &quot;accept&quot; not &quot;except&quot;.  I can &quot;accept&quot; a mistake &quot;except&quot; if it&#039;s a really dumb one.

Ryan, I hear you and how you really might believe this is a supportive letter.  I still challenge you to be positive.  Posting stats isn&#039;t exactly the way to do it.  If you&#039;re kid was failing in school do you think that shoving his repot card in his face would help?  No- He already knows he&#039;s failing, so he needs support at that point.  Yes, I know Sasha is not a child and he&#039;s not your child.  It&#039;s an example.  But he needs support, that continues to be my point.  Why did Fisher make those clutch shots?  He didn&#039;t believe in himself anymore, but his team and his coach did.  He outwardly expressed that this is what helped his game.  Sasha has done it before and he can do it again.  He just needs his confidence back.</description>

		<description>Jennie..Jennie, Jennie, Jennie..

&quot;My point is that men like the one who wrote this article and you just love to ride the bandwagon.&quot;

That&#039;s not sexist, meaning men love to ride the bandwagon of the person who wrote this article. I&#039;m sure women out there agree, not just men. Face it, you&#039;re being SEXIST. I am not a lala fan, never will be a fan but a fan of the NBA. BTW, no one but SASHA himself gave him that nickname. What a douche, a machine for laying bricks maybe?

Jennie, you&#039;re a Sasha fan, I get it. Quit riding HIS nuts and except the fact that the Lakers extended his contract because of ONE decent season. Oh well, it happens.</description>

		<description>I implore you, Jennie, to reread the letter I wrote above.  I feel I&#039;m supportive and my heart is in the right place.  How am I not supportive when I say, &quot;We need you, Sasha&quot;?

The man gets paid very well to do his job.  He isn&#039;t performing up to previous levels.  If ANY employee doing ANY job was under-performing, they&#039;d be spoken to about it.  As a Laker fan, I pay money to buy gear/tickets/etc.  My money goes towards his salary.  I&#039;m unhappy with how my money is being spent, and I feel I have the right to point out Sasha&#039;s shortcomings.  It doesn&#039;t mean I&#039;m screaming &quot;trade!&quot; or anything.  

In fact, I&#039;d go so far as to question your loyalty to the team.  If Sasha plays like this for the rest of his career, are you still going to champion him remaining on the team?  He&#039;s given us a full year of awful play now.  Where do you draw the line?</description>

		<description>ayejaye you&#039;re kidding right?  You&#039;re calling me a sexist however the word &quot;emotional&quot; never once touched my post, it was you who used that word.  Just shows how quickly you have become the sexist and are judging me solely off my gender and not my opinion.  I can&#039;t wait for Sasha to crush his opponents so you all you fake Laker fans can shut it already.  My point is that men like the one who wrote this article and you just love to ride the bandwagon.  Oh when &quot;The Machine&quot; (and by the way ayejay, he is not self proclaimed the media began calling him that) plays well everyone wants to ride his nuts, but as soon as he starts being human and not making every shhot then all the fake Lakers fans have to cry, complain, and scream trade.  Be supportive and have faith in your team. That is my point.  Quit living vicariously through their succeses and see them for what they really are.  People with exceptional skills that aren&#039;t always perfect.</description>

		<description>Ummm....Jennie? You can stop your rant now, in the very beginning, you clearly stated that you&#039;re a Sasha fan so all that crap you posted is for the fan in you, not in fact.

Fist of all, Sasha needs support from the men? Sexist. &quot;Why can&#039;t men be supportive when someone really needs it?&quot; Probably just your husband and a few others you know, not all men. Sasha hasn&#039;t been doing good the whole season, period. Not because we don&#039;t show him emotional support, that&#039;s a huge bail-out and not to mention it makes him sound like a p*ssy.

&quot;I can guarantee that if there were enough REAL men who did that The Machine would be back!&quot; LOL. Man are you sexist. This &quot;machine&quot; as he calls himself, is nothing but a foul robot. Face it, he sucks this year and NOT because of men not being REAL men by not supporting him. What BS, grow up woman.</description>

		<description>OK, listen Ryan - Your wife will find out about this because I&#039;ll make sure to tell her-  I&#039;m a huge Sasha fan and my fiancee can&#039;t stand it either, he&#039;s just like you, but guess what?  Sasha needs some support from the men!!  You don&#039;t get it.  Why is it that men only pat each other on the back when they are at their best?  Why can&#039;t men be supportive when someone really needs it?  Sasha needs a lot of support from all Lakers fans right now.  I think all the trash talking is really getting to him and if you are a real fan, try writing him a supportive letter not a judgemental one.  Sasha is in the gym more than anyone on The Lakers.  Kobe can vouch for that.  It&#039;s not that he&#039;s not trying.  It&#039;s that he&#039;s got a serious mental block.  It&#039;s so obvious!  It&#039;s time for the male Laker&#039;s fans to step up and start showing some real support!!!!! He gets it from the ladies but he needs some good solid fan support from the guys.  Sasha is a very passionate player and takes things to heart. Whether men want to try and act hard like they have no feelings is total BS.  I&#039;m tired of all the men flapping their gums about Sasha.  Be a real man and lift a brother when they&#039;re down!!! If you really give a damn about the Lakers winning, I dare you to go to a game and hold up a huge sign just for Sasha.  I can guarantee that if there were enough REAL men who did that The Machine would be back!  Ultimately it&#039;s up to Sasha to put it down, but the fans energy and support is  a HUGE part of their game.  You have to be there when they are up AND when they are down.</description>

		<description>well said ryan. as a die hard laker fan, i cringe when sasha gets put on the floor. especially with his fiasco the other day with people saying he threw up shots during the game, a playoff game, because brown and farmar wouldn&#039;t give him the ball.</description>
