Yes, folks, you saw it. Byron played Kobe in the 4th with Kobe clearly showing he couldn't use his right arm.
That's just wrong. |
It's not even just stupid anymore. He's working on crippling Kobe. |

We see a coach play a legend with one arm. We see a coach have a guy not play at all for a game for no apparent reason (Kelly). We see a coach play a player who was ineffective for 27 minutes (Price) while resting an effective player too long seeming to get him out of rhythm (Lin). The list goes on and on and DB has already indicated, the coach is the tank commander. |

I'm beginning to believe the tank theories. But then that would be giving Byron too much credit. I'm going to just say he's stunted. |

Wes was 1 for 5 and Hill was 2 for 7 on uncontested field goal attempts, which really hurt.
We also posted a 67.9 offensive rating when Wes was on the floor, which was unfortunate because he got 29 minutes to Swaggy's 19. |

Are BScott's comments on the following valid
Kobe playing with one arm
Kobe told BScott he was ok, BScott pulled him when he saw he was doing everything with his left hand
RKelly
It was a bad mismatch playing against David
JLin & Price
Even though JLin got 4 steals, he was not making an pact. Price was playing more because he works well with Kobe
Team definitely does not know to close. Players execute in the first half (most times, but at the close of the game - careless mistakes and general tightness happen when opposing start applying more intensity during crunch time. |

Except that Kobe was pulled one minute before the end of the game. When it was all over.
Except that Lin was the only Laker with a positive +/- effect today.

How could anyone justify Price playing last night? He was a non-factor. He did nothing defensively or offensively that warranted him being out on the court. Lin did. That comment is absurd. |

| Besides the ridiculous minutes Kobe still gets, I hope BS hasn't put another nail in his coffin. I just read that Kobe is having an MRI on his shoulder today. I sure hope it wasn't an injury that was aggravated because BS doesn't have the balls to tell Kobe what to do. |

Boozer hasn't gotten his game going for a few games now, Young was missing his shots and forcing them, Ellington wasn't really hot, Sacre was pretty useless and Lin wasn't penetrating/creating as much as he was in the first half. |

The ways of Scott are mysterious and incomprehensible to the mortals like us.

Describes Byron to a T, except he substitutes "sound and fury signifying nothing" for soundlessness. Same principle, though. |

DB I can't hold back and must speak the truth!
Your write ups suck! Can you write up more wins instead of always reporting that the Lakers lost?
Is that too much to ask?!?   |

Understand your comment about Kobe, did you not believe BScott's post game remarks
JLin, along with the others, played with effort and had results that filled up the stat sheet. Did they played their best when the best was required - no, they have not yet learned that ability. Do you think Pop and the Spurs care about the individual stat sheets? |

Young is always forcing shots. He just often gets hot and make a good enough percentage. But not always so IMO its an absurd strategy to run and offense. Any further questions see BS. |

Being that Swaggy is the only one willing and able (on a consistent basis) to create on his own (albeit after pounding his dribble to the detriment of player movement, it is their only strategy. Since opposing teams have not been sending any doubleteams at Swaggy, nothing happens for a long period of the shot clock. Since everybody knows that he will be shooting the ball . . . it is good that somebody has impressed upon Swaggy to drive the paint once in a awhile |

Price works well with Kobe? Someone might want to tell Price that, because he has pretty consistently looked like either complete (bleep) or a complete non factor playing with him with a couple of outliers here and there. |

If Price isn't traded, waived, or benched after the trade deadline, i think i'm gonna lose total faith in the FO.
I'm on team tank, so i dont mind losing. It's just i'd rather lose with Clarkson, Kelly, and Lin on the floor. |

how many possessions scott saw from kobe before he pulled kobe? I counted 5, that's just stupid. How about fouling somebody after kobe made a left handed hook? no
how about calling a timeout when kobe brings up the ball only using his left hand? no
only to pull kobe after his left hand hook was blocked, how can a coach be that stupid?
well, I can't believe people are still trying to defend scott. |
