What!?!?! GTFO with that. If Kobe would have made any outburst to any of his teammates, we would be seeing none stop posts about how he is a poor leader who didn't get his teammates involved.
Yeah, I'm sure that's why Kobe didn't show any anger at the end.

Huh? What do you think Kobe was asked to overcome the last 2 seasons? (before this year). Having injuries and having to take over is nothing new to Lakers fans.

LJ....
Kobe 9/17 from 3
Rest of team 6/28 on OPEN 3's.
Kobe cant shoot it EVERY time when doubled and tripled.
The open shot is there, he passes to supposed shooters....THEY MISS.
BUT the real problem isn't that LJ....the real problem is that the lakers MISS AND THE SUCk on defense.
You can shoot poorly on 3's IFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF
you can defend
But when you cant do either....Then the team is SCREWED.
There are FAR too many players that fit that mold.
Vlad, Fisher, Farmar and Sasha.
When they are hitting, they look great. When thye arent, they look like TRASH!

But for some reason laker fans don't want to take it into account when looking at LeBron this year. Maybe reminder is a better word?

Bad loss for the Lakers but it's hard to win when half of your bigs are injured and the other half is in foul trouble(aaand Fisher is hurt, Odom is ill). Plus other than Kobe all players shoot like crap. Maybe Kobe should get them involved earlier. Anyway it was a great 3 quarter show by Kobe. The way he started the second half I really thought he was going for 70. Maybe he got fatigued or something. I don't know when Pau is coming back but it will be hard to take the 1st spot in West when he's out. Losing the 1st spot means losing the MVP to Paul of course.

You are a very intelligent poster and thanks for showing some courtesy, but with all due respect and sympathy to what LeBron's come to overcome... it doesn't get any worse than the Lakers tonight.
Fisher - injured his foot, needs 6-8 weeks but decided to play
Bryant - I won't mention his injury, he's used to it
Radman - check
Odom - upper respiratory infection
Turiaf - check (had 4 fouls at the start of the 3rd)
Bench:
Vujacic - 4/14 from beyond the arc
Farmar - check
Mbenga - fouled out in 17 minutes
Walton - playing injured
Regardless, this loss should not have happened. I'm disappointed beyond description.
It's 6:20 AM, I spent 3 **** hours sitting in an uncomfortable chair infront of my computer to watch the supposed contenders lose to a 5-30 away team that's not beaten a Western team since the 7th of November.
Kill me now.

Umm, Lakers have had their fare share of injuries over the years, and are pretty injury ridden right now, if you didnt know...

Why does everything that Kobe does and doesn't do have to have some underlining reason to it. Could it be that he sees that this is just one loss with his whole team on life support and doesn't feel the need to overreact. No that can't be it, he must be happy that he scored 53 points. Do you realize how stupid you sound.
