| I think Kobe yells at the refs, because besides Sasha no one else cares about the calls/lack of calls. If the refs dont notice anyone getting on them, then they will continue to make bad calls. Odom just looks at the refs and smile, and so does everyone else. The refs are happy when they dont have to explain calls, because it makes their jobs easier. I think Kobe and the Lakers need to get as many calls right in their favor as possible, so I dont mind Kobe jawing at the refs if they're not doing their jobs. |

Brown sounds like the kid who always blames someone else for his problems. Sad. He has a great build and could be good if he listened and worked hard at his game. He has no self drive. He is already a multi millionaire and has done nothing in the NBA. Too bad you don't get paid for performance.......As has been said many times, all he needs to do is rebound, play D and dunk the ball. Problem is you must catch the ball first......

Midget brain to go with his midget hands I guess. |
You're right. I forgot about that. But the Lamar and Smush was more memorable because it happened in the third quarter.
If you remember at the start of the third, Smush had a turnover and was getting burned by West. Defense was TERRIBLE at the third.
Then Odom got it. Phil would yell in his face and walk away. Finally, when Odom got benched, he seemed like he was going to walk off.
In the end, something worked because they came out and did well at the start of the fourth. |
Yeah, our whole starting front line suffered the humiliation of being benched in favor of the rookies and scrubs who proceeded to outplay them and bring us back from a big deficit. Woke them up...good for Phil. That was way overdue. 
BTW I was wondering about Andrew not getting any playing time, too. He might have been a deterrent to all those easy layups, might have gotten some blocks, and could definitely help with the rebounds...also, he might have helped with scoring, seeing as how there was no one out there any where near his size...come on phil, time to start thinking about next year...Andrew and Ronny need PT.
I agree that Lamar is best in the post...I wish phil would realize that. he doesn't have the outside shot to play on the perimeter. he isn't a threat from there...we're just helping the other team's defense playing him in that role. Kobe should be on the perimeter, LO down low fascilitating from there like shaq did. LO gets double teamed in the post...he'd be just as effective from there as kobe is...imo.

 That's not what cost the lakers the game, poor play the whole game did...come on...blaming the refs is a cop out. |

It is always great to get a feel for the verbal stuff that you hear when you are near the court and never pickup on TV
Sounds like according to Ocho the fans were getting on Kwame a bit. Not sure he is the right mental makeup for that, but at this point maybe it is time for some tough love. You usually don't hear Laker fans getting on their own players at home.
It sounds like maybe some of "The Boobirds were out" at Staples! |
I really wish they would'nt do that...

It didn't help though did it? Val Palmer proceeded to make that bull (bleep) call on Kobe to make sure we lost that game. On court diplomacy is an art and, if your not working it to a desired effect it may be best to let it go sometimes.
I do agree that you have to work the officials just to keep em alert to things but, there is a fine line between communication and, antagonization..

what r u talkin about? who is violet? and what do you mean...had it in for him????
lol |
umm, Violet is the name of the female referee who made the game-losing call against Kobe. |
There's no proof she is actually female or a referee. |
Actually there is proof she's a ref. She makes calls when she is the farthest ref from a play based on someones flailing arms and not based on actually seeing the play. Prooves she's a current NBA ref. That last call was a story of it's own. |

You're probably right but during the third quarter, they were calling everything against the Lakers. In the first few minutes, the Lakers had like four fouls on them.
Fans were really yelling at the refs.
During one play, when the Celtic had the ball in the 3rd quarter, Brian Scalabrine gave George a hard screen right in front of Phil and pushed him, there was no call.
When that ref ran back, Jack Nicholson stood up and started yelling at him big time when he ran past. |
