Kobe is the only jerk in the league who would get kicked out of a game while winning by thirty. I pray his team loses. I seriously hate his guts. Nobody deserves less to win a game.

[Jajwanda]

You wish you had a player who even cared that much

[wiff]

Well the game got slightly more interesting with Kobe out but already up by 27 too big of a gap to catch up.

Gelly's playing really well though.

[BBen]

Why did PJ pull Gelabale intermittently and refuse to play Watson for the entire fourth? We looked like we could have come back and then Ridnour DESTROYED any momentum we had. Does anyone like that move he does where he dribbles really fast to a spot like five feet from one side of the lane and then looks around for someone to pass to while the opposing pg smothers him?

I knew this game wouldn't be close.

Jeff Green looks like he finally had some confidence in his jump shot

Great game for jelly, hopefully he's not scared to makes plays from this point on (not likely) and he can be like Petro and just close out the season great

Once KD gets some weight and experience under his belt, he'll be great, too bad we have to wait out his growing pains and if and when he finally gets it, we might not be able to experience it here.

[Skum]

Its a shame to see a team getting beat up from the start, atleast Kobe gave the game a highlight

I would love to see KD make his play grow here in Seattle, but im losing hope about the whole staying thing, i think you put it very well Yoshi.

Gelabale.


Petro needs to shoot less. 3-13 isn't going to cut it.

[BBen]

To be honest, I had no problem with Petro's shooting last night. I think a lot of the problem was that he was playing frustrated because he wasn't getting any of the whistles. On a lot of those missed shots he was getting absolutely malled in the paint and once or twice Calabro commented on it.

What I really didn't like last night was the play of our rookies who played like... well, rookies. Green looked incredibly intimidated and Durant kind of faded into the background. Our shots just weren't falling and the Lakers are on a winning streak that tends to lend a certain fire to the shooting. The Lakers are definitely playing like the best team in the league right now but I'm sure they'll cool down come playoffs (iirc Gasol is has basically no experience).

I really did think that when Kobie was ejected we had a shot because we made a really tough run going into and coming out of the fourth but our rotation seemed to be resigned to a loss and a bunch of scrubs played out the fourth. PJ isn't coaching this team to be a winner, that's for sure in my opinion.
