Look what the Warriors did to the Celtics the night after we knocked them off. No easy wins. |

great 4th quarter coaching Phil Tomjanovich. Just kick it around the 3 point line and chuck 3s. |

Yep exactly, I'm really worried about tomorrow night. We are gonna need to play halfcourt on every possesion, no point running with those fools because we can't outrun them. |

Ugh. Well, time to get focused for tomorrow. Hopefully we can actually stick to the offense and defend consistently.
Get well quick LO, we're gonna need you... |

Please. When Kobe has to go off like he did because no one else could hit a shot, you find a way to criticize Kobe's defense? The game was lost when Phil decided to take Kobe out. We were up 5 and immediately they Hornets go on a 9-0 run. By the time Phil put Kobe back in, they were doing all they could to take the ball out of his hands. And when he passed it out, no one else could make a freaking shot. |

one player got calls with 13ft's
the other didnt and got 6ft's |
One had over 25% of his shots from beyond 3, the other worked more inside. That is why 3-point shots suck. |

the only thing Im pissed about more than anything is that Kobe didnt get a chance to get to 40 again.
I was as sure as my name he'd go for 45-50, whne 3rd ended and he had 37.
Amazing that he shot 1-6...but really, the Hornets basically doubled upon the CATCH and sometimes whne Kobe gets ridiculously hot, he starts taking off balance shots that have NO CHACNE of going on...althoug he is fouled quite often on those attempts as well. |

And Kobe did what he should have, passed out of those doubles to the open shooter. Good game by Kobe. |

I don't understand all the knocks on Pau when Bynum did even worse... it's like we all got so used to Bynum doing very little and Pau doing so much that we just gloss over the continued poor play Bynum brings and instead just harp on Pau...
Starting from the horrid offense in the first half (defense was arguably worse), this game had loss written all over it. If not for Kobe's stellar play it woulda been an embarrassing NO blowout. |

This was worse. Bobcats aren't second team behind you in the loss column in the West. This is the game you should not lose. _________________ The Man who Built the Great Western Forum

No, the game was lost when the Lakers gave up 32 in the first, then 61 at half time, then 89 at the end of the third. They were crap on defense and deserved to lose this game. |

So you care more about Kobe getting 40, then the Lakers lackluster play and ref rigging? |
