1/28 - Sacramento Kings @ LA Lakers. 7:30pm

[crazy8ights]

I'm so freaking disappointed, trap game or not, focused or not, hungry or not, 2 days off or not. We should beat the teams that are suppose to be easy to beat ******. Our two 7 footers couldn't make a damn basket or finish point blank range ****! also smh kobe 8 threes I know you get hot but 8 threes those could have been assists to get our bigs going.

I have no expectations for a win on Sunday so I won't be disappointed.

[DrewBynum77]

seriously? freaking cousins and dalembert scored 50 points on our bigs shooting 65%+ and the problem that we lost was because kobe didn't pass the ball to gasoft and lazynum?

Come the **** on. You people watched the game?

Kobe had 13 shots in the first half. Played less than 4 minutes in the second quarter.. He wasn't the problem.

When we posted up our bigs they COULDN'T BACK DOWN THEIR BIGS nor out-footwork them SO THEY PASSED THE BALL ALMOST EVERY TIME and if they didn't they would force a shot and miss or commit a turnover. That's why brown was commanding the offense and scoring at will in the second quarter the same way Kobe did in the first, because our bigs weren't DOING ANYTHING and their guards couldn't guard kobe/brown.

I don't even remember Gasoft fighting for a position closer to the basket to initiate his offense. Brown stepped up and we kept the game close. Once Bryant stopped taking shots in the 3rd quarter the kings had a 20 points advantage because Cousins and the other scrubs dominated our bigs WITHOUT **** HELP. I could download this game right now and easily make a 15+ scenes' clip of gasol and bynum posting up, eating 5-8 seconds of the shot clock then passing back to our perimeter guys. Odom had just a bad night and he was due to it since he's our most consistent player this season BY FAR. So I wont criticize him.

OUR BIGS GOT OUT-HUSTLED AND OUT-SKILLED by their bigs. Simple as **** that.

Kobe only started jacking up shots in the 4th quarter when gasoft was on the bench, mainly 3-pointers because we couldn't get anything going inside and he can't make 3-pointers this season.

Watch the f. game please. It's not because bynum had 8 shots and gasol had 10 that they only had 18 opportunities to get their shot.

Or are you going to tell me that they didn't noticed phil took kobe out of the game and confused Shannon brown with Kobe and let him take over the game in the second quarter the same way Kobe was doing in the first?

[DrewBynum77]

Btw, kobe have the right to shoot as many times as he wants as long as he's scoring at 60% and THAT SHOULD NEVER CHANGE WHAT OUR BIGS DO DEFENSIVELY. I accept the excuse that it takes them out of rhythm offensively, but not defensively. Unless you're trying to tell me they deliberate do this to show kobe that they wont play any D if Kobe don't give them the ball. Which is a **** shame.

Who the **** were gasol and bynum before kobe? Gasol was considered a bad contract, ffs. Memphis wanted to dump him.

I'm **** tired of people putting our fatass on a pedestal. They never do anything wrong. Come on.

In fact I think that if Brown and Kobe simply ignored our bigs tonight we'd have won tonight 30 shots each. They were driving and scoring at will, no reason to change just to please our primmadonas.

It was the f. kings, people. There's no excuse for that kinda of game.

Kobe + kwane brown and Smush parker would have beat this kings team.

P.S. I wish Phil was like Popovich. Pop would take out gasoft/lazynum and let Character battle against Cousins the entire 4th quarter or until he fouled out.

I'd be willing to BET MY LEFT NUT that Cousins would have much more difficulty scoring against Derrick then he did against our untouchable primmadonnas last night.

Lol, did you watch the game? Kobe was 2-4 from 3 until the end of the 4th quarter just like he was doing in the previous games. Controlling his 3pt attempts. He shot 3 3's in our last possession alone when we NEEDED a 3.

[Anklebreaker702]

Ok Minhee, we are all use to your jump off the cliff speeches.

Lol.

Not sure where you're going with this post at all? Kobe did shoot a great percentage I think all of us agree. The point was we haven't been winning with that formula is all that was being said. Proof in the pudding is we lost that way again.

Our bigs: 8-27 - 25 points.

Their scrubs: 24-40 - 57 points.

Yeh, we lost against the **** kings because Bryant had 13 FGAs in the first half.

[The Laker Kid]

So we started the second quarter 4 points behind and end up 20 behind 4 minutes left in the third.

Bryant had ONE SHOT and ONE TURNOVER during that stretch.

Do you see the name of fisher a lot and Artest a lot there? Why do you think they were shooting so much during an 8 minutes stretch? Do you think they were shooting too much because they were selfish just like bryant and didn't want to post up our primmadonnas? LOL.

They were shooting because our bigs couldn't even get a good position to initiative the triangle.

Kings scrubs raped our bigs. Bynum couldn't backdown anyone and gasol didn't even try to fight for the position inside. Bryant only had 3 FGA in the 3rd quarter. He only started jacking up shots in the 4th once gasoft was replaced. Too bad that Phil put him back in the game.

[The Skyhook]

seriously? freaking cousins and dalembert scored 50 points on our bigs shooting 65%+ and the problem that we lost was because kobe didn't pass the ball to gasoft and lazynum?

Relax bro. Nobody is saying the reason we lost was because of Kobe. Everyone knows that the problem was defense. All people said was that Kobe went away from the offense. He usually does that every time he is going for a scoring mile stone and we usually lose on those nights.

[DEEP3CL]

Can't say that I have a good feeling about the Celtics game at all. They are going to want that game BAD, and I see us putting up another pathetic performance, followed by the typical "marathon not sprint" nonsense.

Semi, I love you man ! You're like the "nervous unsure" guy of the pack. Look I feel the gist of where you're at but at the same time I feel we'll get this one. Watching the Celtics this year especially, they've become too dependent on just making sure the Big 3 play well while trying to pacify Shaq and his childish like baby ego. They also get inconsistent play from their bench especially on the road.

My point is: He have all the right in the world to shoot 13 times in a half against the f. Kings. Period. That shouldn't affect the way our bigs play D. My other point was: he was shooting too much because he had a mismatch and Sacramento couldn't stop him, just like they couldn't stop brown. I wish Brown would do a Sasha act last night and jack up shots all night.. He would go 12-20 and we'd have won the game despite the lack of EFFORT from our primadonnas.

Our bigs got pushed around like rag-dolls by freaking rookies, I can't empathize how embarrassing this is. Popovich would BENCH THEIR ASSES in the beginning of the 4th quarter AND PUT OUR ROOKIE to bang up Cousins. We lost because Kings made our bigs their bitches.

Anyone disagree with this? No, right? You just think they turned into womans because Kobe didn't pass them the ball enough, and it's false. They wouldn't even fight for the low post position therefore they wouldn't get the ball in a position to shoot. Which can be proved by seeing how our offense went once brown was on the court. IE: THE SAME **** WAY - Our bigs getting raped inside and our SG keeping us in the game.

Summary: Yeh, I get what you're trying to say that Kobe didn't follow the game plan, sure. (lol, we need a game plan to beat the second worst team in the leage, lol). My point: this shouldn't even be mentioned. We need 10 pages of people bashing Gasol and Bynum (as I said: Odom was due to a game like this because he's our most consistent player this year, so I wont criticize him) then in the 11th page I would be willing to 'criticize' kobe for not following the gameplan against the Scrukings.

Seriously, you're the championship backcourt, don't let rookies push you around. Fire a dirty elbow and see the ref do nothing to you Then the rookie will be put in his place. That's what kobe would do, that's what every other veteran superstar would do. Phil talked about this after the game against the Nets in December. But I have faith he'll turn to his masculine side against the Celtics tomorrow.

Bye bye for today lakernation, going to the beach.

[DEEP3CL]

Guys let this one go....let the Kings and butt hurt fans enjoy getting one off us. We all know if they had to face us in a series that ass is beat 4-0.

[joelafan]

sigh no reasons why we shouldnt had won that one..... Its good thing OldEnglish made my night lol. We better come out with some intensty. We had none last night. the only bright spot of the night was kobe going off.its like when he goes off and tries to get people involed the rest of the teams just sits and watches.. 7 asst for him so not like he didnt try get everyone else involed. Boston also got beat by a team they should of beaten. So sunday SHOULD be intensty game for us. If we cant get up for them im going be miffed for a while.

That's all that's being said

[Anklebreaker702]

Thats how I feel AB. Kobe had a hot hand so you knew he wasn't going away from that but I think the outcome of this game could have been better if we ran our offense from the inside out. It would have given out bigs some energy on both ends of the floor. Kobe could have easily took over when needed to. I'm not going to blame Kobe though because the effort from everyone tonight was horrible. Its as if they woke up and forgot they play the Kings.

I'm looking forward to this Sunday so this team better not disappoint. You know Kobe will give our bigs an earful tonight and he will make sure that they come out with energy on Sunday. If we can establish a post game early on it will be much easier for us to control the game.
