Why is Kobe trying to be the hero everynight? This guy needs to put his ego aside and remember he has 3 future HOFers playing next to him. From what I saw, Shaq was being double, triple teamed and he was kicking it out to the open man and nobody could hit a shot.
That was the most horrendous game I have ever seen, no one even gave a sh*t out there it looked like, my jaw just dropped, as bad as kobe was atleast he was trying, and Rick Fox played his heart out in the third, GP was brick, Shaq couldnt shoot FTs. Kobe looked to pass more in teh third once he missed that dunk that was blocked, but Kobe needs to pass a lot more when his shot is not falling, 5-23 is unacceptable, in teh last 2 games he has taken 49 shots, that is almost 25 a game with 3 future HOFers on the team. We need to get our act together and get some momentum back going into the playoffs.
Yes horrible game to watch. The one to blame is Kobe. Forcing and taking too many shots when all the ball did was clank off the rim. Shaq just looked like a stranger standing in the paint area, and did anybody notice when he'd receive the ball in the post, he couldn't muscle his way to the basket? Portland made him work on every possession. What were our field goal percentages for the game?? I believe 35% or less. Just disgusting, horrendous Laker basketball. We're gonna need a ton of help if we're gonna recapture the #1 seed in the Western Conference.
