Our defense is reminiscent of 2 seasons ago . Absolutely disgusting. But who cares, we'll bounce back.

The defense will get better as soon as the team gets healthy.

The game was lost on the defensive side. So really, kobe's shot count has nothing do with the loss. I blame phil jackson. He's experimenting a bit too much.

We outrebounded them we shot almost 50 percent. They just where 63% percent from the three point line. When that happens its really tought to beat any team.</div><span style="font-family:Book Antiqua">Any time a team loses by double-digits, I consider that a bad game.</span>

Cook and Vlad Rad shouldnt be on the floor at the same time under almost all circumstances
That loss doesn't mean anything. The Lakers always get the sh*t kicked out of them at Seattle, it's nothing new.

Any good coach, especially one as good Phil Jackson is going to do this early in the season. That's the only way for a coach to figure out how certain players are going to play together, and how certain lineups look. Give it a good 15 games into the season, and things will settle down alot, players will know their roles and there will be a more consistent look to the team. Phil Jackson knows what he is doing.

We want to play our best basketball going into the playoffs. Let?s not forget that Phil wasn?t there in training camp.I think we?re right on track (5W-3L).............now that we?re getting Kwame back, :g: I?m really interested on how Phil will set his rotation. I like the way Walton is playing, thing that worries me is if they put him back on the bench. This is the kind of player who needs to be confident for him to be effective...........they should be careful on how to use Walton IMHO. We know what we?ll get from Turiaf and Evans while Bynum continue to impress. It?ll be fun to see him go up against Shaq this Christmas. :boxin: Smush?s play has been disappointing, is he feeling the pressure with the way Farmar is playing ??? It looks like it.......the way he?s been forcing play at times :thumbdn1:
