If I was David West, I would find it difficult to keep trudging my 34-year-old body up and down the court to play for the Indiana Pacers in the midst of this sadness skyscraper of a losing streak.

But I mean …

This is just some lazy, inexcusable nonsense. (via @its_whitney)

I get that the pass was totally unprofessional and that his mind likely moved to slashing the tires of all his teammates. I get that this was a kick out that would make Rick Wild Thing Vaughn blush. I get that these two points won’t matter in what is likely to be a double-digit loss in a road game against the hottest team in the NBA.

But you have to at least make a token effort to chase this ball down before it turns into two free points for the Atlanta Hawks.

C’mon, Mr. West.

You can do better than that.
