Game Thread: Milwaukee Bucks @ Los Angeles Lakers

Lakers looking decent.

Drew has absolutely dominated Bogut in the first quarter. 12/6/2. This is the way he should be playing all the time.

 

Kobe is playing like shit.

Dude needs a break, he's killing our momentum by taking those shots.

 

Kobe is 0-7

Sit him put Drew back in.

 

Jesus, stop hogging the ball Kobe.

 

Kobe is now 1-14.

If your not gonna help the team, stop being stubborn and sit. Get the ball down into Drew, he's dominating so far.

 

9-23 (21pts), 10-30 (33pts), 14-37 (32pts), and now 1-14 w/ 4pts...

So what the hell is he these past weeks? a ball hog? or just plain stupid?

These are times pride can hurt you... He'd rather play than rest up but by playing he's only hurting the team...

If his shot isnt falling why doesnt he just rack up on the dimes?

To top that off, he's playing close to 39mins. a game and its january.

At this rate he wont have enough (again), come april... just like 2008

Did u even see than left handed shot w/ time winding down? its like he just threw it up out of frustration and its only the 2nd qtr.

WTF Kobe, why cant u realize u need to chill out and get a well deserved break?

*Kobe was the league's MVP the 1st 3rd of the season... but he's handing it to LeBron on a silver platter after these types of performances...

 

I’m not worried about his minutes. But if he continues to play this way, there’s no reason for him to be in the game. He’s hurting us more than he’s helping. We’ve actually managed to withstand his chucking (1-14) to grab a double digit lead, we should be up by 20 or more. Kobe has done nothing tonight, he’s killing us. It seems like his finger is getting worse and worse, he’s not doing himself nor his team any favors playing through it. He needs to relax, take some time off and heal. Get ready for the postseason, all this means nothing. If I’m Kobe, I continue to play through it and be more a facilitator, since my shot obviously is not falling, and my ego will not let me sit. Once Pau returns I’m taking a break. Pau can lead this team for a couple of games, along with Ron/Drew/LO.

 

Buck's starters have a total of 4 points.

Hakim Warrick and Kobe are the reasons why they're still in. We seriously should be up by 20 or more if Kobe played smart.

 

Drew is a monster today. Absolutely dominated #1 pick Bogut. lol what a joke

Kobe needs to rest.

 

Shannon Brown killing it.

 

Blowout? Our bench is looking good.

Especially Brown.

 

bynum killing it tonight 17/18/3

lol at kobe 4-21

 

Drew heard about the Chris Bosh rumors and doesn't want to go to Toronto.

Kobe sucks. ship his ass out.

 

Kobe has one bad game and you guys all go apeshit on him. He's human, he's going to have bad games. You guys expect too much of him.

From the looks of things, Shannon Brown was player of the game for me.

 

4-21, 14-37, 10-30, 9-23

Four bad games in a row. And tonight he was absolutely terrible. Hopefully it's just a shooting slump, but with all these nagging injuries he's playing with (mainly the index finger) I wouldn't be surprised if it's starting to harm his game.

 

If it's broken then he should get surgery on it.

 

It's not broken.

I think it's just a tear or something. He just needs to rest it if it continues to effect his game.

I don't know... I've heard a lot of people say it's broken.
