    No. Colin did it right. She could have diverted the answers, but she showed her true colors. She lost. I, and most people are very happy about this.

    Good job colin!

    She has as much to do with the current bball related failures as she did during those successes of years past: aka very little. Which was sorta my point. Attack Jim and Kupcake instead.

    SMH I can't believe I'm taking the Lakers' side.

    Not according to her, she's in charge. She uses the word "I" when she talks about basketball decisions, not "we".

    It's okay to continue hating the Lakers, HCP takes up enough room on the Laker Love Bandwagon as it is.

    Nobody is saying the state of the Lakers is or is not her fault. It has nothing to do with the topic at hand.

    The topic is her making the rounds in Bristol today just to defend Kobe against the ESPN article. I guess one could applaud her for defending her player, but why? I just don't see how she helped. Most people here in LA (That don't work for the Lakers) think she made it worse. She is no Mark Cuban. Talking with the media is not her strength. Whoever advised her on this was not thinking it through. Why make it worse and say you were going to investigate and fire anyone involved? Just ignore it.

    So every big free agent in last year's free agent class is a loser because they do not want to play with someone delusional?

    Kobe being an asshole might work if he was at the top of his game. Right now, he is Michael Jordan as a Wizard.

    How many championships did Jordan win in Washington?

    At least Kobe proved that he could do it without his Robin.

    Another thread that should be in the "Around the NBA" thread and no way deserves a headline on a Blazers site.
