I could care less hearing the perspective of a great player, i just want to see the team do well. I didn't hear what D12 said post game but I'm sure "STFU you aint in the battle field with us" went through his head.
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.
