Anyways game 2 is as close as a must win gets


So you must care a lot what Kobe tweets since you could care less? Then in fact you want him to tweet a lot.

I don't think Kobe's teammates even knew he was tweeting during the game, so I fail to see how it could be a distraction. During a game, his teammates are just as likely to be distracted by him writing fan like comments in his personal diary. If something so simple can distract our team, then we have no hope in beating the Spurs in the first place. These guys are professionals. In fact, I bet they are much less distracted than if they hear "Will Lakers trade Gasol?" everytime he misses a jumpshot, or "Will Dwight sign with Houston?" everytime Dwight misses a free throw. With the attention on Kobe's tweets all that talk is gone which IMO is actually a HUGE positive.

Haha I did think they were funny but are we here to watch a circuits act or watch our team succeed. And yes they are distraction since every reporter is asking about it. besides shouldn't Kobe feel like he's above that **** I mean if your going to be posting after every play then join us on realgm bruh.

Kobe worked his ass off to make sure this team got to the playoffs. If the man wants to tweet during games let the man tweet! He's earned the right.
Sometimes being wrong is awesome!!! :D

Too late for that. He wasn't tweeting that often, but can you blame him? He was watching the game and reaching out to fans. Why do people hate? He wasn't berating/offending/embarrassing anyone, except maybe Dantoni.
