    The dissarray in the Front Office with the Buss family is the icing on the cake, tip of the Ice berg if you will.

    LOL at tmac_1's attempt to make this Bynum's team. Wade said Heat were his team and LeBron didn't disagree last playoff. Barring a major injury to Kobe, I don't see Bynum claiming that before Kobe's contract runs out.

    if this is bynum's team then the lakers are officially done. as long as kobe can suit up and still run, it is kobe's team.

    kobe was benched the moment after he threw a temper tantrum and kicked the bench in frustration during a timeout.

    Brown made the right move and Kobe learned his lesson.

    they were doomed to lose that game to Memphis.

    Explain Bynum's greater PER, win shares, and # of double teams over Kobe's.

    What an argument! Who's team is it? :rolleyes:
    I guess Mike didn't like his frustration and thought he needed a timeout lol.
    Whats worse is when he took him out they looked like they were chipping the lead a bit and playing team ball, but then he puts kobe back in (because he has too :rolleyes: (so he wont lose his job) ) and they run an iso lob in for him and obviously kills all momentum with the turnover.
    Don't understand why the ball always has to go through his hands :mad:
    Don't mind it tho, its there downfall like always after the colonel leaves.

    Kobe has been benched for a while now. Gsw announcers are making this game interesting. They don't sound bias and aren't derailing the game.

    Lakers are a stale team. It's ridiculous the Warriors started Jeremy Tyler, Charles Jenkins, Dorell Wright, David Lee and Klay Thompson and have come back.

    I should also mention Steph Curry and Nate Robinson aren't playing for the Warriors.

    Bynum shoots a 3 and he get's benched for most of the second half.

    And Kobe ISO ball won the game. Some stupid ID only jumped out when Lakers lost a game. This is hilarious.

    Hooray for Kobe ISO ball. The more the merrier. Good thing the opponent was a crippled team that's pathetic even when healthy. Keep it up Lakers.

    Kobe iso-ball put them in that position. Dude was straight up trash for most of the game once again.

    Those 2 clutch jumpers saved them, v. a team WITHOUT its 2 best players and starting a bunch of no-names. But him shooting less than 40% AGAIN. That's not a good trend. Keep sniffing that glue that Kobe is still the best player.

    This team better start making sure Bynum and Gasol gets 15-20 shots a game or they aren't going past the 2nd round, or even the first, if Kobe keeps jacking it up at this rate.

    Haha this is why I like Mike Brown. He called out Kobe on his defense before the season even started. And now, he has to balls to bench Kobe. Nobody else would do that. The Lakers are standing firm in 3rd place. Mike must bedding something right.

    Kobe is still the best player and the team is horsing around going down the stetch. They know the system and they're bored and giving Brown s... But they're ready. And they are bored.

    Wait til the playoffs start and they come roaring out of the closet.

    While all this horseplay is going on, only 2 teams have a better record over their last 10 games, SA and UTAH.
