Ha preferably not, no. Do you think that's enough to make him leave LA? Yeah, maybe they miss the playoffs too and that could perhaps factor in it also but do you think he'll really leave LA? I'd be surprised.
D'Antoni just kept everyone already on the staff: Bernie Bickerstaff, Chuck Person, Steve Clifford (remember him?) and Eddie "Princeton Offense" Jordan. He also added his brother, Dan.
kobes the only reason why lakers got that far this game. he shot well and was clutch the whole 4th quarter AND guarded cp3. haters r gonna hate.
Kobe was magnificent tonight, but his game, no matter how efficient, isn't conducive to an effective team due to the way the Lakers are constructed. Their whole team is made up of players who are ball-dominant and used to being the alpha dog in the offense-- Dwight, Nash, Gasol .. heck, even Artest. But since Kobe always gets his way, he's the one who ultimately ends up with the ball in his hands and the other guys end up standing around while he takes questionable shots.
Kobe was awesome. Just looked dead tired at the end. If you watched the game Kobe did a GREAT job on Paul down the stretch, and helped them get back into it. Seriously Pau Gasol is a p***y, can't wait till he retires. Hate watching his b****ing and 0 hustle.
