LAKERS VS HORNETS GM#1 APRIL 17TH, 12:30 PACIFIC. ABC

It sounded like Kobe was pretty calm about the lose and he was even laughing/smiling at the conference

[H00PDREAMS]

There's also Ebanks. He hasn't played in a while but he's big and would force Ariza into the game. Ebanks has a good shot at slowing Paul.

You might have something there Ebanks earned his name shutting down John Wall in NCAA Tourney 2010.

can't believe we have to be tortured by fisher for 2 more seasons (player option for one of them)

At least the guy was putting everything on the floor. Pau didn't even give effort.

Watching "The Kobe Show" is getting boring.

I wanna watch The Lakers! We are not playing as a team on either offense or defense.

l Just watched the game over in its entirety. We have no answer for Paul but the sad part is we're not playing to our strengths. I'm seeing a lot of posts saying our bigs sucked today, but I thought Bynum came to play. Ticky tack fouls took him out in the 1st half or he would have given even more. Not gonna really ride LO for only having 1 rebound because he's been getting it done all year so he deserves a pass.

Not going to ride Pau just yet either. He is starting to make me wonder if that Pau we traded for is gone. He's starting to settle for way to many jumpers & going back to the season finale, during the Kings run he didn't have a point or rebound in nearly 9 minutes during that run. So he'd better show up from here on out.

Main thing is the Hornets shot an unbelievable percentage & almost everything was going in. Defensively it looks like we're relying on Drew too much. We're half a** guarding on the perimeter & thinking Drew will take care of the rest. We will be ok as long as we come out with conviction & establish the post. Stop shooting so many jumpers & get the bigs touches. that bum Aaron Gray was 5 for 5 at one point he he was throwing crap at the rim. Most of this shouldn't happen again. **side note** Hope Gray is OK.

So true So Gutta. Last night I watched the close out game against Orlando in '09 & they were talking about how Kobe had 8+ assists in the previous 6 playoff games. So that dated back to the WCF's. He needs to take another page out of that book.

Minhee be quiet, go jump on the Hornets bandwagon only to crawl back to the Lakers


smh

[Mahhcuss]

how about we use our post advantage Kobe, make the game easier for yourself.

LOL that would make the most sense but since he is busy tryna prove he is better than someone...he wont!

I've been asking that question for a while now. So many times when the person guarding kobe is smaller than him, yet he chooses a face-up game and taking bad shots.
