Who here thinks the Lakers are going to beat San Antonio?
Seriously?
Sorry Mr. Shoes, I have to go against you on this, the Lakers are gonna whup the Spurs. _________________ Before Lamar trade: Lakers-57 wins (2011)

Lol, people actually thought trading LO would be a GOOD thing
I think having Matt Barnes (and of course Bynum) back will make a sizeable difference. He's so good at off the ball movement. Really really miss him on the court.

Two things...Boston didn't double as much as we did since their starting SG isn't a defensive scrub and the Celtics starting center isn't shorter than Kobe.

Game didn't have to go into overtime. Kobe had Lamar open at the top of the key, he shot while being double teamed. MAYBE LO makes the 10 footer _________________ Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind.

Yes- Barnes will make a difference. As a team, their off-ball movement has been non-existent for most of the last month or two.
Kobe is jumping out of the building lately. Fish looks solid. I liked the Fish/Blake backcourt. Lamar and Gasol play so well together, never separate these guys...I really didn't miss Bynum...
I thought we played well, including Ron. Don't understand the Ron hate here on LG. _________________ Kevin Love. 2015.

That doesn't change my point. If you move, Kobe will get you the ball. If you stand around looking, or are scared to play, Kobe won't get you the ball.

I agree for the most part, but Pau did the same thing right before the end of regulation and Kobe opted to force a tough jumper over two guys.

You know Kobe played pretty much the best defense anyone could ask of him? In that game.
Rondo had 6 points and 5 assists while Kobe was on him, and PP had 2 points for the 8 plus mins Kobe was on him. Sing me another one.
Not exactly an encouraging win. Some of the worst D of the season, but with all the tight games the Lakers have lost this season, it's nice to see one go the other way for a change. Just hope we see some better D on Thursday.

With 5 sec left LO was open and he shot over a double team. LO shot had been dropping all night. I'm not railing Kobe just making a observation _________________ Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind.

And I'm not saying Kobe will make the right play EVERY time. Nobody does. But in general he will get you the ball if you play aggressively.

HE wasn't talking about Kobe. Talking about Ray Ray vs martin's D.
