Tarik Black, of the Los Angeles Lakers has been "INACTIVE" the last TWO GAMES for the Los Angeles Lakers.
Since Byron Scott of the Los Angeles Lakers has decided to keep Mr. Black, Tarik Black, firmly planted on the bench, or even BEHIND the bench in street clothes, we thought we would dedicate February to him...
Tarik Black was assigned to play for the Los Angeles D-Fenders on Saturday, January 30, 2016, and posted these numbers in the win over the Oklahoma City Blue:
29 mins, 15 pts, 5-7 FG, 5-7 FT, 14 REB ( 5 OREB, 9 DREB), 1 STL, 4 Blocks, +14 (highest on TEAM)

| Tarik Black (Looking like Denzel in TRAINING DAY) Has been INACTIVE and in street clothes the last two games for the LAKERS
Speaking of DENZEL, Roy Denzil Hibbert posted 0 points, 2 Rebounds, 3 blocks for a minus 13 in 21 minutes of action last game against the HORNETS.
Hibbert is averaging 6.8 ppg and 5.4 rpg this season for over 15.6 Million Dollars on the season. In 38 Games LAST SEASON, Tarik Black averaged 7.2 ppg and 6.3 rpg in 21 minutes played ($840k +/-)
Who knows EXACTLY WHY ROY HIBBERT was brought in. When Tarik hits the floor, the energy is different and guys look for him out of the pick and roll and when he is in there GOOD things happen
Whether it be on the Lakers OR the D-Fenders, Tarik's TEAMMATES look for him, and when they find him, everyone moves out of the way. BOOM BOOM!
Tarik will generally get as many points AND rebounds as he does minutes played AND he generally leads the Lakers in "plus/minus" but his PT (playing time) is sporadic at 10.8 mpg this season.
For whatever reason, "Roy Hibbert is the ONLY Laker that has started EVERY game" is something that we hear EVERY contest from the mouth of broadcaster Bill MacDonald.
WHY? If this is a LOSING season and if Roy Hibbert is NOT a part of the Lakers future why does he keep starting AND playing about 25 minutes per? Super Agent David Falk may have had a clause written into Hibbert's contract with the Lakers because if WE see the value of Tarik Black and the positive play he brings to the squad and STILL gets benched something does NOT add up. Byron has asked Tarik to play like Dennis Rodman and others yet gives away bulk minutes to Ryan Kelly? Tarik's NUMBERS STACK UP AGAINST WALLACE, RODMAN AND FARIED 
Tarik has been Rebounding like Rodman and playing defense like Wallace yet remains BENCHED
and, dude has mid-range too.. King Kong might not have anything on Denzel but Lord Byron reigns over Black's PT and THIS continues to be a MYSTERY and a glaring issue in El Segundo While Julius Randle may have been SNUBBED for the Rising Stars challenge so that the WORLD gets to see MARIO HEZONJA, Tarik Black remains SNUBBED by his OWN COACH... How SnuBBORN can Lord Byron B? |
