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. |
Just the fact that Lin can shoot a 3 makes it imperative that he gets some minutes with the "new" facilitating Kobe. I wonder if there is a stat for how much time open at the arc and not getting the balled passed to you. Lin would have won it last game. |

These players try hard and have talent to be in the NBA as good complimentary players.

Be at your best when the best is required

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. |
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. |
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. |
He does virtually nothing. I think BS thinks or wants us to think that Price is a great defender. It takes more than energy an athleticisim to make a great defender. It requires a team. I also think BS knows Price will sacrifice his offense since BS needs someone to help cover Kobe's mostly poor D |

Your write ups suck! Can you write up more wins instead of always reporting that the Lakers lost?
Is that too much to ask?!?   |
Here you go:
NEWS FROM NORTH KOREA CENTRAL BASKETBALL AGENCY
Kobe Bryant, first secretary of the Basketball Party of Korea, first chairman of the National Basketball Commission of the DPRK and supreme commander of the Hoop Universe, provided a sensational basketball exhibit to the many adoring fans of our beloved basketball leader.
Men and women wept in happiness as the Lakers won 116-0 as Kobe scored all 116 points, shooting a perfect 40-40 (20-20 from three and 16-16 from the freethrow line). He scored 58 points with his right hand and 58 points with his left hand demonstrating equal mastery.
He earnestly called upon the basketball sector to improve the quality of their basketball and to raise an epochal hot wind of production offensively. He also expressed tremendous desire to translate his passion into the reality of every man, woman and child without fail.
Rumors of an injury to Kobe were quickly proven to be capitalist propaganda. It is physically impossible for Kobe to be injured because of the supreme efficiency of his muscles and strength of bones.
Kobe improved the Lakers record in this glorious season to 43-0. |

He's always focusing on Lin too much in DBs assessments. There are 9 other players. And AMC insisting that Price deserved minutes over anyone needed to be challenged. Price was not a factor in the game, Lin at least had a solid first half, the whole bench didn't find a rhythm in the 2nd half, including Lin.
Why can't AMC see that Lin has a short lease. Boozer and Swaggy get more minutes even when they make mistakes, Price plays in favor of Lin simply because Scott loves playing him. It's easy to see that. The onus is on Scott to put his team in a better chance to win by playing the more effective player, Lin, even if Lin isn't playing at an optimal level. He sure won't get there by sitting on the bench, he's more likely to get there through experience and that's by playing the game. |

Anybody playing PG will always get more attention in this PG league.
Every player has a short lease because all of them have to proved themselves
JHill and Ed Davis, in a previous game, did not play much in the 2nd half because BScott saw that they were tired because they were not running back on defense.
Sacre, with the arrival of Black is now at the end of the bench
Price has, at times, not played in the 4th quarter. It is revealing that BScott has experimented not having Price and JLin in the lineup at all.
As Kobe has demonstrated, a good PG will make others better. It is much harder for others to make the others better where we often see 5s and 4s shooting 3pt shots.
If JLin is able to stay on the court to "find" his game, shouldn't this exist for the others - just wondering. |

So why is Hill, Wes, and Ronnie always in the game? |

JHill has been on the bench in the fourth quarter with the arrival of Black when he was not hustling or producing. What is sad is that an efficient Sacre is not better than JHill's worst.
It is hard to know when Johnson is on or off the court because he has been invisible. Would you have Ellington or RKelly playing in his stead?
As shared, BScott has let JLin close several games and has had both of them on the court because the lessor of two evils was to have Kobe be the PG and Johnson take the other guard since one cannot coach length.
This roster has talent (albeit not greater than any other roster) but not the mental toughness to be at their best when the best is required. Since it is near the ASG, many players/teams are tired - noting teams like the Spurs and Bulls going through anticipated lulls that happens every season
The team is entertaining and competitive. As Big Game James, Coop and Big Shot Rob have often stated that this team is still learning how to be winners instead of being satisfied with just giving a good effort.
They have to learn to be mentally tough and HATE to lose while taking each loss personally and motivating them to personally get better to help the team |

I have to log in and praise you DB. I stopped watching games, but never stopped checking your T&R. This report takes you to god-like level of basketball forums.

Edit: I'm going to just having this stand. If you feel that Scott is being fair and what he does is for basketball reasons, then I won't try to convince you otherwise. |
