Kobe wasn't perfect... but watch the game.

You know players have not been stepping up when Kobe has been our leading rebounder since Bynum went down.

No single person is ever to blame for a loss... but Lamar clearly just isn't right for this team.

Another infuriating loss... A win would've been HUGE for us.

What killed us tonight: missed FT's and Lamar freakin' Odom. It's truly unreal how bad that guy played today, and that's becoming more and more frequent for him.

milesfides wrote:Oh, stop with the Kobe turnovers. Many of them were due to the refs allowing the Pistons to play extremely aggressive defense on him, especially in the first half. He got mugged several times. He was also assessed wack turnovers such as the instance when Radmanovic threw a pass too high. Kobe jumped and only was able to get a finger on it. Kobe was assessed the turnover. Kobe got a pass that Rip knocked out of his hands. Refs said it was off Kobe last. Kobe also tried to throw an entry pass to Radman. Radman didn't even bend down, it bounced right off him.

Our game plan was trying to get the ball into the post. There was a reason that Rasheed had 5 fouls. We forced the ball into the post, and several times Kwame just didn't get the pass.

Anybody watching the game would see that Kobe wasn't careless about the ball. It was a combination of very aggressive Pistons' defense, some miscues with his teammates, and the refs letting calls go.

Radman had 6 turnovers despite rarely handling the ball and Odom had 3, despite being off the ball most of the night.


What game we're you watching? The Pistons were physical with Kobe but the ref's were certainly calling them for it.... Kobe did have 15 free throw's... Almost as much as the whole Piston team.

Really Odom hasnt brought anything to this team but misfortune. The guy needs to go. I dont care where, we need a fresh face to play with Kobe and Bynum.

Again, where's the rule that each team should get equal free throws? Kobe was deliberately slowing down the tempo, he was attacking the basket, he was forcing Rip to foul him.

The Pistons, aside from Stuckey and Johnson, were shooting from the perimeter.

If the refs called it tighter from the tip, Kobe might have had more than 20 free throws.

Fortunately for the Pistons, Jack Nies didn't blow the whistle until the Pistons had a healthy lead.

Haslem(or Artest) and Kidd + filler sounds good.
Get Odom + Kwame the hell out of here.

I'm not one for trades, but its time. I don't see this team getting where they want to get at with Odom, even as a third option. He's not suitable mentally for a championship squad.

It depends on a posters history and what they bring to realgm. Most posters get s 3 strike rule... first suspension, second and then gone.

I will tell you this, back seat modding (^) is a punishable offense. ;)


Attack the posts and not the posters....

??? did you watch the game? We had the lead until our defense faultered on that Prince 3. You do realize we were up by 6 in the 4th because of Kobe? The fault goes to more than just one player, but Kobe had 8 TO's in the first half and then he destroyed the Pistons defense in the 2nd half. It was pretty incredible because they were loading up with 2 defenders on him all night.

Agreed, I think most of us fans have been pushing for a trade since for the last 1 or 2 years, it's time to deal LO. He doesn't fit the system and isn't a player that will help you win a title, time to get rid of him.
