Good news is Kobe is playing D'Antoni's offense. The Lakers are just not making their shots. And what the hell was Nick Young smoking?
Refs now resorting to bailing out Kobe with Phantom call on Derozan...lol......yep Kobe is definitely back
Kobe looks horrible out there. This is just so sad to watch. He should have waited till after new years to come back.
He's had similar games like this when fully healthy. Actually worse, since he shot a lot more then. He isn't hurting the team now so much by his play as by displacing better players in the lineup.
Then play him 20 minutes. Xavier Henry is 6-8 for 17 points. He was a huge reason for their comeback. Then they decide to take him out for Kobe, and Toronto stretched the lead again. Lakers lost their chance of winning because Kobe come back in the game.
Two Words. Mike D'Antoni Could have substituted for a different player and kept Xavier Henry in. D'Antoni makes McHale look like a HOF coach.
