Lakers have been down double digits for pretty much the entire 2nd half. Why on earth would you leave Kobe in for the entire game.
He gave Daryl Morey props for convincing him that hack-a-Dwight is a better strategy when you're ahead than when you are behind, because it takes the three-point shot out of the equation. Interesting.
Lakers fans ACTUALLY believe the refs are AGAINST them!!! How much more help do they expect? A 50 FT advantage? A real quote from the LakersGround game thread:
Because D'Antoni has never believed in resting key players and Kobe never wants to come out. A perfect match!
