Scott Trying to ‘Block Out’ Angry Laker Fans

Los Angeles Lakers coach Byron Scott has an Instagram account that he says a family member monitors on his behalf, keeping him up to date on, for instance, what kind of messages and comments fans are sending his way.

“There’s been a lot of angry fans,” Scott said Saturday after the 2-12 Lakers’ morning shootaround at the Moda Center in advance of their game against the Portland Trail Blazers.

“She says she’s trying to hold her tongue and not respond. And I tell her, look, don’t respond back to anybody. Because she’s family, she takes it personal. And I don’t read it because I know me — I take it personal and I might say something and I don’t want to get into that with people.”
