He is great...but to build the future you have to let go of the kobe is better than everyone idea. He was....but no longer. Im glad he made the shot. He was fresher than in previos 4th quarters. |
Kobe is still on the roster and he can still contribute. You don't build the future riding a bunch of inconsistent role players just because they got hot for a bit. Lin is not the future, Swaggy is not the future, boozer is not the future. If you want to win games today, you still play your best player on the team who is Kobe. It's really that simple. |
Except, unfortunately he is not your best player if BS wears him out. Even 32 minutes is pushing it, depending on the breakdown. He did seem to get a long break for fresh legs at the end of the game. |
Kobe has been playing excellently the past few games since he changed his style of playing up. I don't know what there is to complain about regarding Kobe but I guess haters have to find something. |
I have no complaints as long as BS continues to manage the minutes and offensive strategy. The team is finally moving the ball around. Although Kobe has done well spotting Davis I still wish BS would give Davis and Lin more time on the court. |

You see he went to the 2 hand dunk after that. |
Imagine if we lost by 1 pt because of that |
If, wuda cuda shuda. I would have been more pissed if the Lakers lost on account of the Hibbert flop |

| Lin had 10 pts in 20 minutes. He needs more PT. |

| I like the strategy of kobe resting on back to backs. be nice if we could trade jordan hill for dion waiters that way dion waiters can fill in for kobe. |

I am glad that the team was able to win such a close contest and coming from behind.
These are the kind of games that help build self belief in players - the belief that they will be able to grind the opponents down and snatch victory by staying close. Such stuff can't be bought or obtained through training....

11 -23 dude...we were better last year without kobe and a bunch of injuries......what does that tell you. |
That we have even less talent on the team than last year. |
There is more talent on this team than last year. |
You obviously didn't follow the Lakers last year. Too busy trashing the McHale and Beverly, |
Let me know who were your talent? Gasol and Meeks? Barely Nash and Kobe. |
You think ANY of our current bigs is as talented as Pau?
And Meeks was a very consistent shooter.
You spent all last year on the Houston boards and didn't follow the Lakers until Lin was traded here. You have no idea what the Lakers did last year or what they have done in the past. |
It really comes down to if you think Gasol/Meeks is more talented than Kobe/Davis. I don't. |

A lot of points came from free throws. The ball just wasn't dropping from the field tonight. |
Good point re: FTs. |

Young FG 4-12 FT 12-12
Lin FG 2-6 FT 5-6
Kobe FG 7-14 Ft 4-4
Davis FG 4-8 FT 3-4
Hill FG 1-7 FT 2-2
Boozer FG 5-9 FT 2-2
LA 28-30 FT 93%, Pacers 13-18 72%
Perhaps this game was won at the FT line. Certainly it was a huge factor. |
