    Saw this @ LG. Here's three things I've learned after watching the Lakers this season:

    1. "a winning tradition breeds impatience."
    2. Showtime doesn't exist when you're last in the league in forcing TOs.
    3. Kobe and Odom have a long ways to go in regards to chemistry on the floor.

    1. Most Laker "fans" were only fans of winning.
    2. Defense is everything.
    3. Kobe can't do everything.

    3. kobe can't win it all by himself.

    1. Kobe needs help
    2. Lakers need defensive help and bad
    3. Lakers need a better PG and shift Odom down to SF.

    1- Odom and Kobe need to get on the same page
    2- Our Defense Sucks
    3- Constant winning makes a season like this look like we went winless.

    1. Kobe is the most hated player in all of basketball.

    2. Lamar Odom cannot play PF in the West.

    3. The Lakers are now the worst team in the Pacific Division because our GM does not have the slightest idea of how to improve the team and build around the player named Kobe Bryant.

    1. Chucky sucks.
    2. Vlade was basically a bust. He needs to retire.
    3. Briant Grant has a fat contract that he doesn't play up to.

    Well, on the real...

    1. Kobe does not really trust his teammates, which I think will come as he gets more accustomed to this whole "leadership" persona.

    2. Year 1 of the "Kobe is FREE" (in basketball and life) process failed...badly.
    I actually had high expectations for this team but somewhere between the 14 games fought with Kobe watching to the 7 game losing streak, the team went from mediocre to laughable.

    3. They need some roster moves in the offseason. Mainly, I really want to get rid of Chucky Atkins. As well as get a new and suitable coach.

    1) The Lakers defense sucks.

    2) One exeptional player can't put an NBA team on his back and be succesful.

    3) Never trade the most dominant player in the game.

    1. Kobe needs to compromise and give up the ball some times to promote more team play
    2. Kobe cant do anything
    3. Kobe has troubles with everyone not only Shaq, Malone, and Jackson

    1. You need a big man

    3. You need a good coach

    3 things

    1. Kobe can't carry a team
    2. Chucky Atkins couldn't make my high school team
    3. Lamar Odom was sorely overrated last year.

    1. There's more to being a leader than leading by example. Kobe will hopefully learn how to be a good leader, but he's got a long way to go.
    2. It's easier for people to forgive infidelity and snitching on your teammate than it is to forgive not making the playoffs.
    3. When it come to trading an unhappy superstar you're damned if you do and damned if you don't. (also see Toronto and Vince Carter and New Orleans and Baron Davis)

    1. Kobe is a ball hog and can't carry a team on his own...
    2. Trading Shaq maybe one of the biggest mistake the Lakers ever made...
    3. I learned that Kobe is the Lakers GM...lol...

    1) Actually, the more the Lakers lose, the more I LIKE Kobe.
    2) Same with the Lakers as a whole, they don't bother me when they lose.
    3) Laker fans haven't learned how to take losing yet, and the team is due for a long string of losing seasons. It's going to get ugly if that happens.
