you can't blame on Kobe for everything though, not this game. Kobe got 53 with 37 attempts. The rest of the team got 58 with 67 attempts. No wonder Kobe wanted to do it by himself.
Game Action and Roster Moves is all Rockets all the time. This is the NBA Dish section, where it says "What's going on elsewhere in the NBA?", and where you have "Manu Ginobili Appreciation" threads. I dont like people dissing their own team either but sometimes a person's favorite player is an another team. I'm not gonna automatically say Bobby Jackson is my 2nd favorite player just cuz he's on the Rockets. Anyways, its not just the ballhogging but the dominating ego along with it. I've played with people like that many times and they like to talk down on others cuz its "how many points did you have again?" attitude. They're no fun to play with at all.
There are two problems that I see with Kobe and LO being Lakers' two low post players 1. They are not strong enough. Neither Kobe or Odom can go several positions in a row posting up. They might post up once or twice in a quarter. Their only move after posting up is to shoot over the smaller defender or pass out of double team. Neither one is considered intimitating. 2. The teams are playing zone against the Lakers. Because the Lakers do not have any reliable big man, their oppositions will simply go small and play zone defense. Thus taking the Lakers' only big man on the floor (Turiaf or Mbenga) to be ineffective. So neither Kobe or Odom can post up because of zone defense. If the Lakers had one of their legit big man, the teams would no longer play zone against them.
Getting Gasol back should solve both problems and make these last two pathetic losses irrelevant. At the same time, watching the Lakers struggle against the zone last night had me stumped. They never came close to figuring it out. It was a stinker of a game that happens to all teams.
dude, I just agreed with you about all the Kobe Ass Licking and this is how you respond to me? by calling me an idiot? by accusing me of dissing T-Mac? reading comprehension, my friend. I was completely behind your statement 100% and you called me out as a Kobe worshipper? my point is simple, T-Mac wills his team to victory and gets criticized for taking the credit. Kobe scores 53 and his team loses. The Lakers are Losers and Kobe is a whiny little b****. is that clear enough for you regarding how I feel about Kobe?
I prefer that my star only produce less than 30 points, but winning the game, instead of 50+ points but losing the game. I bet you that if the lakers could take a win, and putting less than 20 points for kobe, they would do in a heartbeat. Thats why I prefer a win, they a good individual talent. So, a question for everyone: What would you take: a) 22 consecutive wins b) 81 points in a game of one of your players. I would choose the first option
Hahaha, lets see how long that holds up...... I'll give you a foot message if they don't get out this year.......Unless they play us in which case Tracy will eat him for breakfast.
Don't be such a homer, Its O.K to hand out props occasionally to other teams. You remind me of a MAV's fan.......
