who's watching the game?? can someone tell us who's not doing so good right now? is Allen murdering us?
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting Real Deal:</div><div class="quote_post">Looking at the scoreboard and watching the play-by-play, it looks to me as if nobody is worth anything on this team but Kobe Bryant...so for those of you who continue to say that Kobe should get everyone else involved, pass to Odom more, etc...here's your proof that this is all Kobe's team, and nobody else is worth touching the ball. Odom misses a layup, then a tip in, then I read before that where he missed another lay in. Butler can't play a lick of defense, Atkins can't hit a shot to save his life, and Mihm just sucks on the boards and can't shoot, either.</div> Arg, this is ridiculous. Odom common man, wtf is wrong with you.
At the half, Jerome James is on pace to set a career high in points. So much for the Lakers exploiting the interior.
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting Jurassic:</div><div class="quote_post">Yeah, but at the same time there's really no excuse for a guard to have zero assists. But it sounds like you are in the same boat as me, not really watching the game so we cant see if Kobe is actually passing and they just aren't finishing.</div> Kobe's teammates are shooting at .240, there's no way for Kobe to get assists from that.
Kobe: "team game is not in my vocabulary" "i am the team" "Glory to me all" "i'm trying so hard to prove everyboody wrong" This is what his inner feelings are shouting ..anyways u guys have a chance to win this game..halftime only down by 10!..plz don't edit this post to cover up what u don't want to see
wat??? .240???? thats inexcusable! man oh man! whats wrong with these people? dont they practice shooting?

Now, tell me why "team game" is not in Kobe's vocabulary, when it's clear that he can't rack up any assists because he is the only guy hitting shots. Tell me why Kobe is trying to prove everyone wrong. I don't think Kobe really cares what everyone else thinks...including his critics, or he would've already given up on his team. Tell me what's funny...when the Lakers have a nice record in the West, and are losing to one of the best teams in the West...yet, the Lakers are still in the playoff race?

Yeah, the team's offense is atrocious right now. We couldn't hit the Pacific Ocean from Venice Beach.
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting Undertakernv:</div><div class="quote_post">Kobe's teammates are shooting at .240, there's no way for Kobe to get assists from that.</div> That was my point. By now we all know that Odom has not proven to be as good offensively in LA as he was in Miami. Forcing Odom to create his own shot will decrease his fg%, but if Kobe creates and dishes then Odom will be more likely to finish. Which is why I want someone who is actually watching the game to tell me if Kobe IS indeed dishing, and they just aren't finishing. If instead they are being forced to create their own shots then yes, Kobe is partially to blame.

pls ignore trolls like drm2dnk. he is only looking for attention. probably the result of a sad childhood where he keeps getting ignored.
its pretty hard for kobe to take it hard to the hoop everytime if he doesnt have the stamina for it. from what i've heard he's practically doing everything for this laker team. damn lamar you've gotta be more aggresive than that!
this is seriously the worst ive seen them play all year why the **** does it take 30 screens to realize that you have to SWITCH
im looking at the boxscore and im see'ing kobe playing atleast 45+ mins per game, and the lakers are still not winning ballgames, why the hell are we shootin 26 3's and letting lewis drop 7-12 from downtown, im disappointed, maybe rudy t should have some sense in him and start using diff coaching methods
idk, we need a solid 2nd scoring option, my answer trade odom for davis, done deal brings in a top pg, scoring option which will relief stress off Kobe who can make more shots which means his ppg goes up and our wins go up, I think what Davis brings to the table for the Lakers overrides the reboudning Odom does.
