Kobe's D is a detriment to the Lakers (check this article)

[Father Time]

um, i don't ignore kobe's flaws, i'm perfectly aware of all of them. i'll be a lakers fan long after kobe retires, too. the difference is a hater only sees a flawed player while the rest of us consider the entire picture.

there's also a difference between fair and unfair criticism. saying kobe has been really bad defensively this year is fair criticism. saying he's the sole reason the lakers have been bad defensively or just plain bad this year is unfair criticism. i feel a lot of your criticism, richboy, is usually pretty extreme.

at this stage of kobe's career, i don't think he should get all of the credit or blame for the team's success. maybe 5 years ago that would be fair, but not when he's old and just a year or two away from retirement. if somehow the team wins the ring this year i'm not going to go "yay kobe you're the best you did it!!!11". i'd be happy the TEAM won and appreciate every players contribution, including kobe's.

anyway, i don't even care that much, but you quoted me so i felt like i needed to respond to what you wrote. i realize you'll probably twist my words or call me some kobe fanatic or whatever, or a kobe fan and not a team fan but you can support BOTH equally.

The critics on Kobe this year so harsh.. i remember him shooting so bad in 2009/2010 reg season, when he got that wrist injury, sometimes he single-handedly destroy our momentum in the game with his bad & stubborn shootings, & the result, we lose the games/need the late buzzer, but people rarely blame him (but one guy, semi sentinent IIRC,)

but this year, this guy offensively right now really good, even arguably better than the last 5 years, but the critics so over to the top, i understand, Lakers have losing record, his help defense sometimes bad, and he often gambling when one on one defense (especially when he fighting through pick)... but its seem people just doesnt want tagged as Kobe lovers, as if its cool to hate on him..as if the Lakers fans can't be Kobe fans.. sounds like everyone want to prove as if they're not bandwagoner..

Some people may argue coaching isnt important, i often heard people keep saying "basically Pjax aint coaching in his last 2 years with the Lakers".. but it doesnt t work like that, coaching is one of the most important aspect in basketball, my english very limited to explain it, but if you play in organized sports should know this. We knew, D'Antoni is offensive mastermind, not defensive guru. In his days with Knicks, he got Woodson as defensive specialist coach, but now he can't even bring his own coaching staff, and now we expect the Lakers playing good defense instantly ? No, our team still adjusting on the fly.. because sudden change in head coach position.

Look Howard, i don't care if his back isnt healing yet, but hes multiples DPOYs winner, that should be easy for him for anchoring the defense that consist another former DPOY, Ron Artest, or the seven footer, Pau, or multiple all defensive team Kobe who once helluva defender in his young days, etc etc, but no, our defense still bad. What thats mean ? Our team still adjusting. Maybe sometimes we see Kobe late in rotation etc, but did you notice ? The fkn entire team sometimes missing the rotations too ? Thats mean our defense scheme isnt mature yet,, we need some patience, building some chemistry, hope it will gel soon, n pray we dont miss the playoff.

Yeah, I was on him a lot because he was trying to play through his injuries and in the process hurting the team. Phil should have just sat him for a few weeks. The end result was still good but for a while we looked really vulnerable.

dam kobe and his defense

[Imadogg]

We win 2 games straight when Kobe plays defense for full games and guards the best player on the other team!!! His defense has looked amazing

http://scores.espn.go.com/nba/recap?gameId=400278289

Brandon Jennings was held to 12 points on 4-of-14 shooting by Bryant, and Milwaukee's young star emerged from Staples Center with newfound respect for the fifth-leading scorer in NBA history.

"I don't think I've ever seen anybody put that much pressure on a point guard full court for a whole game," Jennings said. "It was probably the best defense somebody's ever played on me since I've been in the league -- just constantly putting pressure on me, touching me, hitting me at all times in the game. He wouldn't let me just catch the ball easy, and I wasn't able to get the ball a lot, so it was pretty difficult."

i wonder if they goona blame kobes assist numbers for the lakers recent wins now. I thought it was his defense? why are they winning? these analyses are masters of the obvious ..its comedy. All of a sudden they start winning and they be like " I think they are goona turn it around" I could of told you that.

You Kobe apologists (you especially) are just hilarious. The man isn't God I'm sorry, he actually can do wrong believe it or not

[Tee212]

so whats YOUR next prediction, and stop using article to support your arguement. Your threads cracks me up.

[Imadogg]

What prediction did I make? Kobe was playing some of the worst defense I've ever seen out of him (or any star perimeter player) and as a result we were getting burned. When he started playing better d, things worked out much better.

You disappear from threads like this when he plays crap defense, then after he starts playing better d, you appear and say "Ha ha ha how could you blame his defense" as if it's been amazing.

Try harder man

[Doormatt]

are you hand tracking those numbers minge or where are you getting them from?

anyways whats blatantly obvious is it doesnt matter if kobe's defense is good or bad, whats really a problem is outside of dwight theres not a single good defensive player on this team. metta is borderline, hes just far too inconsistent and really can not guard the star perimeter players anymore. you cant surround nash and kobe, two offensive superstars, with trash defensive players. it just wont work.

again, look at the thunder (a wonderfully built team). thabo, collison, ibaka, and yes even perkins- all strong defensive role players. **** even thabeet looks decent. meanwhile the lakers have jamison, duhon, meeks, metta and gasol. and i guess earl clark. yup, our savior earl clark.

[Tee212]

im just here to call you out on kobe bashing threads as all of your threads seems to be. its clear you dont like him. why should i try harder? your agenda is too obvious. AGAIN i dont make ANY threads praising him...get that issh outa your system man. Ill be on your threads again shortly.

his assists definitely have something to do with it.

It's more so that, when he does "chuck" or take a bad shot it leads to fast break opportunities for the opposing team, there's much less of them when he takes a good shot or gets to an open team mate.
