    <div class="quote_poster">ilive4ball Wrote</div><div class="quote_post">Is anybody else kinda wondering why on a night when Kobe drops 50, Lamar and Smush both come dangerously close to triple doubles and Luke throws in a solid 10 & 11, we only beat a play-off hopeful by 5 points?

    I just don't understand how that can happen. Kobe did his thing, our three main role players stepped up big. We win by 5. Someone explain this to me.</div>

    It's simple, this Laker team doesn't play defense, basically we trade baskets with the opponent each night.

    i really hate how this team plays with a sense of urgency in the final minutes. Only, in the final minutes.

    Well, we had a chance to blow them out. I think early in the fourth quarter we were up by 16 or 17 points. Obviously, we failed to play any defense, which helped the Wolves get back into the game.

    Yeah this team doesn't close games out well at all. They don't have the mentality of stepping on an opponent's throat and breaking their will. 9 times out of 10, when Kobe is on the bench the intensity level falls off tremendously for the Lakers.

    Yeup...the lead drops when the reserves start the 4th and when coach puts in Kobe the other team has all the momentum.

    sucks

They can't close a team out, it's as simple as that. They don't come out aggressive enough to begin the fourth and they let teams back in to the game. I think however, that things could start to improve now that we're playing with a (mostly) healthy team.

    It's more so the third than the fourth that kills us.
