LO pulling a Kobe

candy rush..

[Anklebreaker702]

Kobe not taking smart shots coming down the stretch, then Lamar follows suit.

[Slava]

sucks to be pau now, he's getting great post position, diving on the floor for loose balls and still can't get a touch on offense.

Wizards 2-3 zone defense clogging up the paint

[Slava]

John Wall follows suit..

and why the fk did Saunders take a time out on a fastbreak with the ball in Wall's hands I'd never know. Dumb coaching.

Umm.. no he was on single coverage and if the defense does collapse then kobe can take a much easier perimeter shot from the kick out.

[Optms]

That should rap it up.

I don't care what anyone says about what happened in the last 5 minutes of this game, though. The team became complacent the moment Bryant and Pau both went to rest up during the 3rd. That resulted in Washington playing harder and finally playing with confidence. I'll give credit to the coaching change done by Flip, too. Booker in for Yi was an obviously an accidental but crucial movie. Nonetheless, I'm disgusted by the lack of hustle and execution I saw tonight. These are the type of W's that just make me want to shower right away.

Could be, either way Pau was cheated out of his triple double. LoL

Missed layups by Kobe and Matt!!!!

lol

I'm disappointed Yi is still in the league and Ammo isn't.

[Hunter103]

Game, 15-6.

Shouldn't have gotten that close at the end though, these guys getting lazy again.

Oh well, 7-game trip start tomorrow, off to...Staples!

[Optms]

John Wall is going to be a perennial starting all-star in this league very soon, btw. I know he was matched up against Fish but man was he everywhere tonight. What a talent.

$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ is the reason

[SoundGarden]

despite ugly 3rd quarter&to some degree ending this was really entertaining game.
now lets beat the clips and gain some more momentum before trip really begans.

[Kalidogg24]

15-6 now and the Lakers need to learn from tonight's mistakes and come out strong against the hungry Clippers.

[96 Til Infiniti]

when does nick young become a fa?

do it mitch! kid's another player at staples like van exel use to be at the pepsi center..

[Astonished]

Wiz fan here, what a game tonight. I know you guys weren't playing well 48 minutes but considering what our team had to play with I think we did a decent job (besides Yi and Saunders...).

John Wall follows suit..

Exactly. Wall was ready to fly down the court and Saunders calls a timeout to break up the play. I about threw up there.

I'm disappointed Yi is still in the league and Ammo isn't.

I'm more disappointed that Flip doesn't realize how bad he is and still played him 25 min.

$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ is the reason

Correct, sir.

[crazyeights]

Anyone else seem to remember a story a few years back how Yi wanted to negotiate minutes into his contract?

[Slava]

No but Milwaukee did dodge a big bullet there.
