Yeah, I was angry Phil left that rotation in so long there. I don't think there should that at least one of Kobe, Gasol or Odom should be on the floor at all times. Phil should stagger their minutes accordingly. I know he's challenging the second unit hoping it will pay dividends in the playoffs, but LO and Kobe are a calming influence out on the floor. When it's just the scrubs they don't run the offense and make too many poor decisions. They get caught up in the tempo instead of focusing in on what Phil wants them to do out there.

DPOY Kobe is my favorite Kobe, way more than scoring title Kobe.

DPOY, double/double, drawing the double, passing; making the pass that leads to the assist kobe is way more than scoring kobe. |

Yes, DPOY Kobe is the 'Dream' basketball player, just perfect in every way.
DB, do you think certain players are cranking up the intensity now because they sense that this team has the chance to do something special?

It was the rotation, not just Luke. And Phil did have Kobe with that second unit out there to start the fourth.
As soon as Phil brought back in the starters to run along with Luke the game changed back in our favor. Luke was also in on probably a couple of the bigger plays of the quarter, too. |

Hard to say. Could just be the road bringing that out. I thought they came out with some intensity in those first two road games that they split, also. But Kobe does look like he's shifted a bit more to D-ing up. We'll have to see if it's a trend. |

hi,everyone I'm from China
In every Chinese fan's opinion,Lamar is really fool's gold but a real gold price
We all wanna see Lakers trade Lamar for Ron Artest or Shane Battier .
Because those two guys can do Lakers good in defense
But I know it's nearly impossible
Artest or Battier's salary is far from Lamar's |
