It's only 2 games, but not looking too good right now. Hopefully it's just a slow start and the chemistry will come. We've got $70 million worth of talent and I'm positive they'll figure it out. I stand by my "over 39" bet in the donation thread.
Lin is scared to shoot,teams just have to Trap him or switch because he won't shoot the jumper(problem he had in Houston)
Boozer isn't good anymore and packs the paint, which makes it harder for Kobe and Lin (reason he lost time to Gibson last year)
Kobe is fine offensively, but Defensively over purses and gets beat on isos, Kobes doing to much offensively (that will probably get him hurt again)
Only decent defender is Davis
To many scrubs getting alot of min.
Only way this team has a chance is if Lin plays like he did in NY(to spell kobe) and the team plays better perimeter defense
Hope you guyz turn it around
Kobe is doing too much offensively.
Boozer was butter fingered tonight, has been better. Maybe shouldn't start.
Lin had 3 point shooter in NY (Novak), guys in motion like Fields and Shumpert, a great PnR center in Chandler, a solid defensive back court mate in Shumpert, a system built around his strengths. With the starters, Lin has no PnR man, little motion, and a veteran calling for the ball. Plus, tonight his brain was on Mars.
Davis is playing well.
What is Wesley doing?
Ellington found his stroke tonight, that's a positive.
i looked at the stat line compared to suns.. kobe is only one that really scored, davis got his but that is considered gravy. we were hoping lin to become the 2nd scorer and get about 15-18 a game which isn't impossible but at this rate i don't see it. boozer can't do it. we just don't have the scorers at this point. i think management is just ready to tie up the driver and let the bus run off the cliff at this point.

I'm watching Lin and he thinks they're actually running some actually sets out there. He's gotta take Kobe's lead and start freelancing. Though, that turned kind of ugly last night ...

Lin was wide open lmao
As much has Jlin Not played well and Kobe being Kobe I put a lot of blame on our front court. Not enough movement.
Kobe is just gonna ISO and continue breaking down his defender one on one. The other guys gotta keep moving to make easier baskets and easier situations for Jeremy to create. _________________ "Tryin' to get that Kobe number, One Over Jordan"

We should definitely tank this season. I didn't expect us to be this bad, but we are. Last year's team (even without Kobe) was light years above this year's version.
Nothing to tank for though...We can thank Steve Nash for that.
the thing about losing is it kills a teams chemistry quickly. the plane and bus rides begin to suck and people start walling themselves off. too bad because early on it seemed the chemistry was pretty good and people were buying in. the tough schedule doesn't help. team needs a win badly.
I don't see any chance of winning the next three so 0-5 is almost a certainty.
If that happens, the Charlotte game is a must win or it could get really really ugly. And Charlotte was a playoff team last season. _________________ Love, Laker Lanny
I'm gonna go out and say it but Kobe needs to realize that he's drawing double teams / eyes all on him while some of his team mates are wide open for a 3 pt shot. Instead, Kobe takes a contended jump shot.
Jeremy's post game interview. Clearly down. Hope he doesn't lose confidence.
Did Horry call out Kobe?
thanks for sharing, wow he looks down. it's not his job to figure out how to make this work coaching staff has to put in better position to succeed. i think next game will see some changes. have to, this sucks.

Kobe is doing too much?? LOL. He's the ONLY ONE on this team right now that can even make a bucket. He has no choice but to keep shooting. Without Kobe, this team is beyond trash.
And Lin has been in this league for what, 4 seasons? Stop making excuses for the guy, he needs to step up and help carry the team. He's not in NY anymore, he can't expect the team to cater to his needs. Learn to adjust.
I don't care how many points Kobe scores, this is not the way to play, you fight as a team, get your guys on the same page. He blew up too many defense assignments, forced the offense too much, at this point of his career, he can not dominate any more, it's time to get his teammates involved and they can help him... hopefully Kobe can figure it out...
