Lakers coach Mike Brown said as he rounded up the team and headed for the bus back to the hotel. "I'll catch a cab, coach," Metta World Peace said. "I'm gonna stay." And so Metta stayed. He was alone on the TD Garden floor for about an hour, and when I left the building and headed for my hotel, I could still hear the ball bouncing in there. Still hear the sneakers squeaking on the famous parquet."I only played 20 minutes the other night, so when I play a little bit of minutes I always try to get extra work," World Peace said before the Lakers played the Knicks on Friday night. "If I play my regular minutes, I don't need to do extra work. I didn't know how many minutes I was going to play that night, so I had to get extra work done." "No, I let him coach and I play," World Peace said. "I just want to be ready and I figured I probably won't play as much because some games I play and some games I don't. So I just want to keep myself in shape." CBSSports.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't get how he went from being an all-star caliber scorer in Sacramento to a guy who averages bench warmer numbers... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting quotes by Roland Lazenby, the author of My Jerry West Bio, on the Lakers coach... The fact that Phil was an NBA player for years, the fact that he questioned anyone who wasn't, well, that always ate at Jim Buss' insecurity TwitterJim Buss wasn't a player. Makes sense he'd hire a coach who wasn't a player either. Maybe it shouldn't matter. But in players' minds it does Twitter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
