Not getting my hopes up. Actually expecting to be 9-13 by wednesday, so if we do win it'll be a pleasant surprise.

Carmello is shooting more shots less efficiently and with less assists, yet the Knicks are winning. Kobe's shot attempts do not change how we defend. Call out his defense sure.
And if you are saying that Kobe taking 3-6 extra shots over the course of a game should prevent highly paid professional athletes from competing with high energy levels you have to be joking.
Kobe shooting does not also change the fact that our bench has given up huge runs when he's been off the floor.
Fact is teams get up for the Lakers and they are coming at us full speed, attacking every weakness we have. Most of their schemes have been to let Kobe get his because we cause no fear defensively. Team's aren't afraid of Dwight and Metta, or Kobe scoring, because they can just exploit anything they way. The Jazz went right at Twan and Hill every time they wanted. Both them and the Thunder have gone at Duhon and Morris. Kobe roams to help and disrupt (or to be lazy) and Dwight rotates to every penetration and teams just get easy attempts.
We ran a much more Dwight centric offense yesterday, and shot the hell out of the ball from the perimeter, but couldn't get a stop to save our lives. 110 points should beat anyone every time...

Kind of. Its both offense and defense though. Lately Howard has been doing a lot of straight post ups and Kobe getting iso plays. There has been less ball movement in general. The Lakers have not shot over 45% in the last 5 games.
So...offense less good AND defense already bad = 1 win in 5 games. Its getting worse instead of better.

The Lakers are 9-12 when they play.
And they are a .500 ball club when they don't play. Stats don't lie.

UPDATE: KYRIE ERVING WILL PLAYAfter missing 11 games with a broken left index finger, Kyrie Irving is expected to return to Cleveland Cavaliers' lineup on Tuesday against the Los Angeles Lakers, the Cavaliers announced Monday.
Irving, who hasn't played since Nov. 21, was cleared to practice on Monday.
In the Cavaliers' first 10 games of the season, Irving averaged almost 23 points and six assists.
