You can't really blame Artest. He played the same as he always does and it has been working. Shots just werent falling tonight.
We need to get rid of Adelcrap for God sakes. The bench players could have give us a good run in the 4th if only he took Artest and yao out when the coach obviously should have. I hate this damn coach with a passion.
the lakers were NOT a more talented team than us. they didn't have odom/bynum. we just don't know how to execute down the stretch.
Read my post above I said this team cannot win with Yao as our center. Whats funny is that any team would love to have Yao because of his popularity and the money he brings the city. We could get two really good players for him but Les and Morey would never let go of him. As for Artest he has had two bad games but many more better games so I hate to blame him. We were just praising him in Denver two nights ago....
I was wrong. I really thought we would win this game Man, Artest and Battier could not hit the ocean from behind the 3...........wtf? I hate Kobe with a passion!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
As DD said, at some point you've got to run a double at Kobe and force someone else to hit a shot. It ain't Rocket science it's basketball. You don't let the same man kill you play after play. I thought I was watching Jordan.
actually i like the bounce pass better because when you pick up your dribble like shane, they sag down and cheat on yao.
Uh, no. Having T-Mac would not have helped us in the slightest against the Lakers. Yao was just a big problem, with only 4 points in the second half. Wafer needs more time against the Lakers, period. He played great against them in the second game, and while not great, pretty good in this one. His quickness and decisiveness are useful as hell against the Lakers. And while I like Battier, that was a bad game. Period.
I agree most of the points. But Scorlandry played piss poor defense. Yao had to keep an eye on Gasol, Powell kicked Scoralndry's ass pretty hard. Many of those missed offensive rebounds are result of Scola losting his man.
The coach should've cooled down Ron when he's obviously lost his mind....the results of keeping Ron on the court were a lot of bricks & turnovers. And his consistent b****ing about the little fight only made Kobe play like monster.... Very bad 3pts shooting (Ron 0 for 7) was also another big reason of the loss.
ron made the kobmeister mad, bad move. if he could counter that, thats fine, but noooo, bad plays after bad plays. loss is on him tho im not too fuss about this loss, didnt think we would win anyway. we're still third and maybe lakers could do us a favour and beat spurs.
