    <div class="quote_poster">Quoting yanix:</div><div class="quote_post">every player has their off nights. we cant expect kobe to put up big numbers on a consistent basis if he's being triple or double teamed.</div>

    Can you say off season shooting the ball? This is a constant thing, he is just shooting the ball horribly, we need a pg..Atkins, Brown, and Bobbitt will not cut it. They cant handle the ball and pass well the way Rudy wants them too obviously, so he makes Kobe do all the ball handling and it wears him out, this is only hurting the Lakers...Rudy as the head coach needs to step up and do something about this, is it wrong to be missing Phil Jackson right now?

    Wow, great win. Finally we beat a good team over .500 that loss to Sactown and again to the Suns was so disappointing. Today Im nothing but smiles!

    ^Nothing but smiles with 6-23... and yay, ya know what's better?

    The Lakers play the Sonics tomorrow on Tuesday.

    Guess what? I'm really dissapointed at Kobe's immaturity. Trash-talking Ray Allen after he bumps into him, making every game a contest. Ray Allen shoots VERY well and does what it takes to win the games. As you can see, his team is dominating right now. (17-4 aren't they? Something like that.)

    Meanwhile, Kobe on the other hand, has turned into the worst shooter alive. He's always pretty much sucked. And he'll be looking for more feud with Ray Allen tonight, like always. Ray Allen was right about one thing: Kobe Bryant is selfish. At least we can say he was wrong that Kobe Bryant won't be using his teammates, because that's the only good thing about him right now. Rebounds, assists are slightly better, and he uses his teammates, except in the fourth quarter. [​IMG]

    Dear Kobe, please, tomorrow when you guys play the SuperSonics, please Kobe, please... play a team game. Do what it takes to win. TAKE SOME SMART SHOTS. Make your free-throws. You're almost as bad as McGrady now at Free-throws, or worse Tim Duncan...

    P.S. Don't take 32 shots either. And if you take 23, make at least 10.

    Great win for the Lakers as it boosted confidence in the team as they can beat .500 teams in the NBA.

    Could this be a sign of things to come like the Lakers winning games against superior teams on their way to an outstanding season.

    As far as the Seattle/LA game goes, we'll talk about that soon enough. If Kobe tries to make a statement, it could be bad...but if Ray tries to defend him one-on-one, well...Kobe will make a statement (if that makes any sense).

    Then he shouldn't be taking 23 shots if he's injured. If he's hurt himself, he shouldn't hurt his team. Luckily for him Jones and Mihm had good games.

    Which other player on the Lakers right now have been putting at least 20ppg, he is not going to take Shots because he has a sore foot, maybe someone else but Kobe would never do that, The Laker's adjusted after a while and Odom did his thing which was great, Odom in this game was much much more effective.

    Bobcats, you seem to spread a lot of hate and negativity on the forums, why bother if you have nothing to say positive about the game or the players? at least the majority of us talk about the lakers and how to make them better and what they did good and bad, but we say it with constructive critism instead of criticizing. you need to learn that.
