    Well.....what else is new right now? Lost our 4th straight, get blown out at Denver, and everybody just seems to watch Kobe play basketball. Where's the supporting cast? Besides Gary who contributed with 22 pts, and Brian Cook with his decent 16, who else was playing? Hey Devean, you call yourself a starting small forward? Where is your head the last 3 ballgames? 3 pts for George. Oh wow, he really deserves his paycheck. I won't even waste time and talk about Horace Grant or Slava because they are just playing like garbage players right now. Phil Jackson as of right now has to start shuffling this lineup in a huge way, and I'm talking about changing the frontcourt until Shaq and Malone return 100%. Because these starting frontcourt players are just completely clueless.

    But with all this criticism that I have for my players, they should go out there and beat Atlanta when they return to Staples Center. Can somebody please wake me up when the streak is over?

    And to think we could've gotten Keon instead of George...When does Devean's contract expire?

    I was dissapointed. Not only at the loss but how much Denver disrespected Kobe when he hasnt been proven guilty. Im not talking about the booing, Im talking about the comments yelled at Kobe, they were harsh and uncalled for. Gamewise, once again Kobe had no help. Although GP played well, the role players didnt do anything to help. Im getting frusterated. They need to help Kobe and GP out.

    Don't get me wrong, I love Devean George. He plays hard defense and hits big shots, but he just isn't much without Shaq being there to pop it back out to him, George cannot create well on his own.

    I would bet you he has heard the same stuff everywhere he has gone. The opposing team's fans are not going to show any sympathy for him.

    We know what was said because of Michele Tafoya. "Hey Kobe, that was my sister!"

    Edit: Not her, the other lady. o_O

    I agree. I can bet anything it's not just Denver, when they play on the road anywhere, I'm sure he hears the same kind of stuff, fans trying to get to his head.
