Committed to defense my ass. |
That was one really bad game he had, or are you going to go on record as saying Kobe doesn't play D ? |
It's kinda become a theme lately. I'm hoping he wakes up and starts playing the D he's capable of, though.

Honestly, I'm so sick and tired of Fisher getting beat, and with Phil stubbornly refusing to take him out of the lineup, I would just put Kobe on the opposing team's point guard(or whoever the best player that night is) every night.

One concern though, is that trying to fight through all those picks could lead to a higher occurence of injury. |
Fisher is not the only one getting beat. It's Farmar as well. Farmar just as badly if not more.
Go around their guards and get in the paint, draw their bigs out, hit the boards should be the scouting report on the Lakers.
Kobe looks tired, if not older to me.  |

| Fish doesn't even try to play defense. Honestly, he has plummeted below Smush-iness. |

agreed about farmar. i am very confident saying that farmar is the worst pg defender in the league right now. he basically provides a one man escort to his man to the basket without flattening him out at all. |
