I thought we were talking about rookies that the Lakers were playing/not playing. I didn't realize this was about stats other than Games Started, Games Played and Minutes per Game. You said, "Larry Nance seems to be the only one getting his feet in the water." Lakers are definitely allowing Russell to "get his feet in the water," too.
LOL.. except its true... so LOL right back at you Letting Kobe play heroball chucking up 20 shots per game has led the Lakers to an 8-28 record. Look at his FG to FGA each game. Ridiculous. Look at the Losses and Wins http://espn.go.com/nba/player/gamelog/_/id/110/kobe-bryant Yes, over-reliance on Kobe to chuck up as many shot as he wants - falls right into the plans of Lakers tanking.
I misused that term. What I wanted to mean was he(imo) is the only one doing anythingreat relevant. Russell might be getting minutes, but isn't really shining. That was what I wanted to mean.. Krnxsnoopy, I wasn't being witty or sarcastic. I did find it hilarious because I know it's true, I posted earlier the same thing of him chucking.
