Hornets are pretty mediocre so we should be able to keep this one close and not get blown out.

Things I don't want to see

No defense
Kobe driving inside the paint, getting stripped, and then throwing his arms up while his man is half way up the court.

Things I want to see.

Pound the ball inside
Kobe facilitating

And most importantly - WIN THE DAMN GAME

Its embarrassing to have to read comments like these for a 2-time defending championship roster. These guys have to pick it the **** up.

BEWARE of the Hornets pick & roll. You call them a mediocre team but got blown out by a Bucks team at home without their starting PG (Jennings). LA has been having trouble against quality PGs this year. & CP3 is still one of the best in the league. Size-wise NOH matches up decently, which means the front line needs to step up tonight. & IMO Kobe can't be taking so many shots, he's not 25yrs old anymore & he doesn't play with scrubs anymore. He really needs to trust the team cause they have a better record when Kobe takes quality over quantity FGs.

Hopefully its it good game tonight. Last night was hard 2nd half to watch.

To add: your second best player has to take more than eight shoots and your top rebounder for a game cannot be someone off the bench.

Get back to the basics. Run the triangle. Pass the ball and find the open man and get high percentage shots. Make the game easy.
