Nah Kobe wasn't THAT bad, just sloppy with the TOs. He didn't get calls in overtime but he came through anyway. Bynum put up his numbers, but you wonder about his other aspects sometimes. Still, I won't blame him too much. Just be more careful with the ball and put Fish on the bench.
These are the performances I hate by Kobe, it seems like every time he touched the ball, he shot it (I missed the 2nd and 3rd quarter). Drew was going offensively, so was Artest...spread the ball around Kobe, stop forcing up some horse shit shots. I'll take the win. We better buckle down for Houston.
Same thing for me. That was probably cause he got so frustrated at Thabo and the non-calls in the 2nd, so he tried to "prove himself". Stupid idea. >_<
I didn't get to watch the game unfortunately, but come on, we should have dominated this game, we're suppose to be champions. lol Wish them luck tomorrow at Houston. They'll need it.
Phil must have been pissed with the bench tonight. All our good players (aside from Shannon ;]) played 42+ minutes tonight. Lol @ Odom by the way.
Ugly game last night for the Lakers. Kobe shouldn't have to play 42 minutes to fend off a team like the Thunder. The officiating in the game last night was horrendous. Kobe was fouled hard by Etan Thomas twice and didn't get the call. One was right before the half and one near the end of the game. Following the non call they whistled Kobe for a phantom offensive foul. Despite the lopsided officiating down the stretch the Lakers managed to get the W and will have to be ready for a quick turnaround to face Houston and former Laker Trevor Ariza. Ron Artest looked more comfortable on offense yesterday and was efficient from the field. He also did a good on Durant especially in the 2nd half. Durant was 0-8 from behind the arc. Odom made a huge 3 pointer to ice the game for us. Fisher finally had a solid game on offense, but was getting killed by Westbrook on the defensive end.
I didnt get to watch the game but was he really that bad? he shot 9-22... which is pretty decent for an "off-night"? right? Ugly game huh? the box score sure didnt show it coz the Lakers shot .521 from the field as a team. But i agree that we should have no reason not to blow out the thunder.
