he hasn't been for a while now. seriously... why the hell let him play if he won't even perform on a level that we expect of him? this is why im so pissed... this hasn't been the Kobe (05 - 08) or the Lakers (Last year) im accustomed to seeing. tank the rest of the season... we've clinched #1 in the West anyway . I was hoping for a double digit win streak once this road trip ended... oh well Pjax said: Don't think this will happen anymore... not with the way our bench and Kobe is playing. Seriously... What's their excuse this time? Tired? Stomach ache for Kobe? C'mon! No More excuses! The Lakers are the only team i've heard all season that says they're "tired".
He hasn't rested since going deep into the playoffs last season, without even counting the stuff he's playing through. He should get even more rest, the arc on his shot is off, probably due to tired legs as well.
i thought the initial "gameplan" of this team is to rely on bryant only when we need him the most? we don't need him to drop 30+, 40+ a night, we just need him to hit crucial and clutch shots... it's not just Bryant who's at fault... it's the whole team. if i were Pjax... i'd stop trying to chase the Cavs, coz' we won't... we'll just tire ourselves out.
your act is old kobe23. Fuckin' Sasha was pure garbage Fuckin' Farmar too Fuckin' Odom was no better Fuckin' Bryant had the flu.
i think the key factor in turning the bench mob around is Bynum returning. once he does odom and ariza will go back to the bench... this move gives farmar and vujacic more confidence (playing alongside odom and ariza) and will simply play without the burden of being 'required' to produce.
