kobe should've took his own advise when he was calling out pau for last game loss

this one is all on you playa

It's good to see more fairness start to come to this board as far as when guys are upset with certain players. Usually if it falls in Kobe's lap MOST guys here turn a blind eye. In this case i'm actually not on him as tough. I thought it was more of a bone head move by Phil to take Bynum out. He clearly was the best defender on the floor last night & as someone mention they immediately got 2 inside baskets as soon as he went out.

I also believe they got some offensive rebounds as well during that stretch. Sure Kobe took some ill advised shots but he also hit that big 3. We'll never know but had Drew been left in he may not have been put in that situation.

I agree Ankle.
Drew should of remained in the game.
Believe it or not, the Lakers were undersized going up against Jefferson, Favors , and Milsap. Undersized whenever we went with L.O and Pau as our Bigs.
Gotta give credit to Coach Corbin as well.

As for Kobe he still doesn't get a pass. Yeah sure the threes late in the 4th is what kept it close but if his efficiency throughout the game was at least half way better this game would of surely ended differently.
I have a feeling if you was to ask Kobe yourself he would tell you that this loss was on him.



Life Goes On. On to the Next one. Big Game up North tonight.

My Dodgers beat down on those World Champion Giants earlier this week.
Hopefully another beatdown on San Francisco tonight.

Kobe will have another streak of great games and everyone will praise him again.....

I will take this as a win. Kobe just lost the ball in the end but I really believe that if he was able to get it off, it would have gone. There is nothing to prove here.

that sums it up. this was a game that i really thought bynum would be finishing..

[Edrees]

You could see bynum shake his head one possession after he was taken out, when the other team got dribble penetratino (by hayward I believe). Bynum wanted to be in there, wanted badly to play D on those possessions. Sometimes I just don't get phil.

Kobe was also taking a lot of errant shots in that fourth quarter.

I saw that as well but it actually started before that. He was wide open for a lob & Pau faked it to him & opted to try a crazy running hook & it seemed to piss him off. I must say I agree. When a guy grabs you 23 boards you should reward him once & a while at least.

Take it easy man.
We all support Kobe and know that this team's engine is all built around him.
He had a terrible game last night and he'd be the first one to tell you that.

It's all good , in two hours at the Oracle Arena ,
Kobe's got a chance to bounce back from it.

+1, I checked the box score and I was like holy cow 23 boards

i just wanted to say this game was by far the most boring laker game ive seen this year. possibly even the past 2 years.

that is all.
