The Lakers win when Gasol gets a lot of touches. They need to let him go to work more often, period. He's not wrong.
The tittle a little misleading but yes the lakers need to move the ball around, they have great offensive weapons.
When Shaq teamed up with Kobe, there were times that he lashed out to the media about him shooting too much. If you're the Laker opponent, that is just something you want Kobe to be doing, which is trying to do too much out there himself.
Mis-leading title...made it seem as tough Gasol actually grew a pain and spoke against Kobe instead of just stating the obvious.
Actually i watch a large amount of Lakers games and Gasol is whip cream soft and in late game situations has been routinely missing freethrows, getting stripped and missing shots.
Bwahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha! Great flow chart! Loved it. The Triangle Point 1: Kobe shoots Point 2: Throw it to Kobe so he can shoot Point 3: Throw it to the guy that throw it to Kobe so he can shoot.
very similar to the popular theme the Rockets had last year; Rockets win when Yao gets a lot of touches.
Its more like, Kobe's ideal team PG: Kobe, so Kobe has someone to pass to Kobe SG: Kobe, Waits for the PG to pass it so he can shoot SF: Kobe, the guy who throws it to the guy that throws it to Kobe so he can shoot PF: Kobe: the guy who rebounds to throw it to the guy that throws it to Kobe so he can shoot C: Anybody, so Kobe can have someone to blame when they lose
say what you want but no team in the world would beat or come close to beating a team with 5 kobe's. No height, quickness, etc can beat 5 black mambas
5 Lebron James says hi. If there was league constructed of two teams (a team of 5 Kobes and a team of 5 Lebrons), and 28 other teams, championships would alternate between the Kobe team and the Lebron team. Scary thought.
I agree with Gasol. Kobe takes too many shots.. even on bad nights. when you have 1. Odom 2. Gasol 3. Artest 4. Bynum to pass to .. i wont take 30 shots a game. easier to win by sharing and taking over when the offense hits a slump.
5. Dreams and the stats would be 120pts 50reb 20blocks 20steals 40assists vs 45pts 1rebs 0 blocks 0 steals 3assists
That has always been the story. When Kobe plays selfishly, the Lakers lose. It's been that way for a while. But I did watch that last game and Gasol was a no show. Bynum deserves all his touches
