What was Laker excuse last night?

[JM92]

This makes me laugh. I find Kobe to be probably the most overrated of every top 10 player of all time. Yet, he's having by far the best season in years, posting the 3rd best PER of his career and just two weeks ago it was actually a career best number.

Does his defense suck? Of course it does, he gambles like hell and is out of position a lot. So what, Wade has been doing the same thing all year, just to name one guy.

I dont like Kobe's game, always found him to be a low IQ basketball player or at least a guy who couldn't make his team as good as he should, but this year to be bashing on Kobe its just amazing. He's got a center who averages 17 a game yet cant make 3 1x1 moves in a single game and a all-team PF who still looks at 70-80% at best, plus was playing with Morris, Duhon and Blake has his starting PGs for a long time. Give the guy a break.

I actually don't think you're a moron. I just think you are saying moronic things not because you truly believe them but rather because of your personal disdain for Kobe Bryant. Wanti on the other hand is simply a strait UP moron. he doesn't even know who Dirk Nowitzki is yet he thinks he's the authority when it comes to basketball knowledge

how can 'moi' be a moron...?
how is it possible to have more SBR Points than posts and for that to be true.

it's not. that neither an accident or an easy task
complete morons do not accumulate a lot of wins, money or points

[Ratzz]

Wait....so a handicapping contest decides who is right on the matter of whether a guy averaging 30.3p/5.4r/4.7a...48%fg 85%ft 1.5 steals should be on the bench??
Is this what I am understanding?? If you beat me in a handicapping contest then the Lakers are better off w/ Kobe on the bench but if I beat you then Kobe is better off in the starting line-UP??

Allthough that makes more sense then most of the things u say it still is about as senseless as it comes wouldn't u say??

OK. so we are doing this. good
i will set it up

Name ONE free agent who has gone to the lakers since Kobe has been there. Then once you name Peyton and Malone (who went there for Shaq and basically retired after Shaq left rather than play with Kobe) name another....

the riot in this story is that after Dwight's phone conversation with Kobe (last year)
when Kobe informed him that he would be the No.3 option (IF the trade happened) *

Dwight really developed a (logical) disdain for Kobe, on the final day of the trading deadline..
the Magic used this to secure his rights..

"if you do not re-up with us for next year, we are going to trade you to the Lakers."
so Dwight acquiesces, and in true manner of Oedipus Rex... (Sophocles would be proud)

...manifested the very outcome he was desperately seeking to avoid. "playing with Kobe"

Alas, now he is playing with a team, that he has no interest in (long term)*
and playing third fiddle to a player he can't stand and is the opposite personality.

Hard to have that jump in your step at work when you despise your boss, and can't stand being there.
he will leave the instant the season is over.

There is 0% chance that he remains a Laker.
but a decent chance that he remains in Los Angeles.*

Clippers or Nets.*

Huh?? what does this have to do w/ anything?? You're saying that how many SBR points u have dictates whether you're a moron or not?? What does that say about u & your zero points??
Yesterday the dude refereed to Dirk Nowitzki as Dirk Nowinski
What's tomorrow, Lebon Jones & Kris Bost??
Yep, real sharp guy there....knows his s#it~

Payton was traded & then refused to report to his new team because he didn't want to leave LA.
Malone retired cause he was 41 & injured.

Please understand what you are talking about before putting your foot in your mouth. Isn't it embarrassing being clueless to facts??

Wrong again. He told them he wanted to be traded, but he didnt want to go to the Celtics, because he was chasing a ring and knew they couldnt win one. It wasnt because he didnt wany to leave LA, he couldnt get away from Kobe fast enough. But he got out of Boston and finally got a ring so he got what he was looking for I guess.

But you still didnt name anyone I hadnt already named....

Clippers toying with Lakers last night like cats with a mouse.

Blew them out playing Clipper ball so decided to play half court game in the second half. Clips still win easy.

Lakers were in the Bonus for 18 of 24 minutes in the second half. LMAO talk about bullshit. They took about 40 free throws granted a few intentional ones on Howard but had there not been so many phantom ones he wouldnt have been shooting anyway. But didnt matter.

Kobe played absolutely ZERO defense last night. Chris Paul made him look like a high school kid out there to boot. But I guess Kobe HAS to guard the 'best guy' on the other team or something or maybe didnt think Nash could guard Paul. But neither did Kobe, he wasnt even close to him about half the shots Paul took. Pretty ironic Kobe calling is guys old and slow he looked like frigging Methuselah out there last night.

Griffen almost killing those kids a couple rows in front of me was awesome, I want to know how they got them, those seats are going for a pretty penny. Also Val Kilmer was sitting not too far from us, never seen him at a Clippers game before. Bandwagon 'celebs' already coming out of the woodwork as there were also a few other teenie bopper kids that are on TV there as well. My wife could name them but I couldnt pick them out of a line up.

lol.. it did look at times like the Clips were actually bored with the Lakers... "gimme a real challenge"
when they play their game and before they get bored by a 17+ pt. lead.. we saw what happens.
i just wonder what the breaking point is for the die-hard Laker fan..

they are all still looking for the big new free-bie ... (like that netted Gasol)

it is amazing that the range of excuses went from "we can't win because our starters are OUT!!"
to "… we can't win because our starters are IN!!"

Laker fans lost alot of money on the futures bet for another banner.

Interesting that the celebs are beginning to swing over.. tip of the cap to Billy for being there
the whole time.

[Jeffie]

You still dont get it that Kobe is jacking up a third of the lakers shots so why would he ever take a foul shot when he is shooting everything from 15 or more feet out yet he gets calls like no other. Most of them completely phantom. I guess if Kevin Durant took 10-12 free throws a night off phantom calls it would be OK too? Thing is they dont need to call that shit with them because they are winning.

look at these teams the lakers play, and their average free throw attempts per game, then compare it to when they play the lakers. Philly averages 18.25 free throws a game against teams other than the lakers, in the two games they have played the lakers they have taken a combined 33 free throws. (16.5 average) Not astounding but considering lakers gave them 4 fouls last night that raises the number slightly. Discounting those Phi would have had a total of 29 free throws in 2 games, less than 15 per game average, 3 less than their yearly average.

New York Knicks, Lakers played them twice, first game Knicks took 30 free throws Lakers took 29. Knicks won by 7 and it wasnt even that close. In LA Lakers took 31, Knicks only took 16 that night Lakers come from behind (due SOLELY to 3rd quarter free throws) and they win the game by 6 in the end.

Obviously sometime lakers just beat worse teams, but this year they arent that much better than anyone, and there have been a half a dozen or more games where it was free throws and free throws alone that won the game for them. Lakers really could be about 10-21 right now, thats how badly they have played this year.

Your post just dont make any sense, when hasnt Kobe taken all these shots? he has 5 rings for a reason. I dont see why you think the team who shoots more free throws will always win.. Every home team gets most of the calls thats just sports gets over it. Tell me who your favorite basketball team is so i can ask what your excuse is after every loss.

After 17 NBA seasons..........220 post season games..........AMAZING!

Kobe makes Paul his bitch (end of half shot by Paul isn't close to this bitch-slap issued by Mr. Bryant)

5× NBA champion (2000–2002, 2009–2010) 2× NBA Finals MVP (2009–2010) 14× NBA All-Star (1998, 2000–2012) 4× NBA All-Star Game MVP (2002, 2007, 2009, 2011) 10× All-NBA First Team (2002–2004, 2006–2012) 9× NBA All-Defensive First Team (2000, 2003–2004, 2006–2011) NBA Slam Dunk Contest champion

[wantitall4moi]

LMAO if Paul had jacked it up like Kobe Kobe never would have gotten that steal he was not playing defense he just happened to be in the right place at the right time.

You can spin it anyway you want to. Go get some of the times Paul was shooting and see where Kobe was, or when Paul rotated and moved to the wing and see how far kobe was away from him. ANY Laker player would have slapped that one down it was a bad pass, paul had a couple last night, too bad it wasnt Banres on Kobe on the drive down the court because he would have laid his ass out, Paul is too nice a guy to do that though.

[wantitall4moi]

how about this when kobe was actually close?

[TheMoneyShot]

Phil Jackson left because he foresaw this happening... that's why they call him the Zen Master.

[wantitall4moi]

209 marks shows Kobe got tired of getting embarrassed so he let someone else take some abuse.

312 tells the tale....

LMAO at choosing a random play during the game where a pass is intercepted and Kobe gets a fast break dunk, Happens everyday in the NBA nutrider. If that's the case Chris Paul, Barnes, Odom and Griffin made the Lakers and Kobe their bitch many times during that game. Get off Kobe's dick. Its end of quarter, half, and game plays that show what you are. Where the entire team is ready for everything you are about to do. Something Kobe was incapable of against a better team. All that play did was fool Kobe's nutriders into thinking Lakers ever had a chance, which they didnt. I liked this play better where Chris Paul made Kobe his little BIATCH with his clutch buzzer beater. You know, where the entire Laker squad plus Kobe knew exactly what Paul was about to do and still couldn't stop him. You know, the same Kobe who was incapable of doing the same thing at the end of the game vs Paul. The same Paul who made Kobe his bitch with the clutch shot at the buzzer when it proves something and stopped Kobes. lmao
