Kobe Looks Like...

I was looking at this team and I was wondering where I saw this before. Then I remembered.

Kobe looks like T-Mac did when he was in Orlando with all those scrubs. He was putting up big numbers and they were still losing. When Kobe went for 62, T-mac said "been there done that."

He was so upset at management for not giving him the help he needed that he bailed at the first chance he could.

Now, I'm not putting T-Mac on the same level as Kobe. I'm just saying, that this looks very familiar and if you learn from history then you can actually see the future comming a mile away.

Kobe looks like Mitch Richmond when he was in Sac-town.

It was 62...

Kobe would never bail on the Lakers. He is too confident in himself and maybe too stubborn to. The world has blamed him for the break up of the Lakers. The world has made an issue of Kobe wanting his own team... At least that's the perception. Kobe is under a lot of pressure and to jump ship is open himself up for even greater criticism. He's going nowhere, but the fall guy in this org will be Mitch. I think the whole organization has been incompetent. PJ's love affair for Luke Walton is baffling, it was blinding that PJ didn't even know Jumaine Jones existed. JJ never had a chance because he wasn't the typical triangle player, his unwillingness to play Bynum, his lack of adjustments. I mean I could understand resting Kobe and going about your normal ways, but since we don't have Odom or Mihm in tonight's game. You cannot go about your normal ways, you cannot sit Kobe to begin the second, make freaking adjustments. The team's unwillingness to deal Odom for Artest and Croshere. The whole org has been stupid, but Mitch will take the blame.

The sad thing is that that Orlando team was probably better. Lue, Giricek, Gooden, Juwan Howard, Pachulia, Nailon...

honestly, the 81 point game was a sneak peak of what this team actually is...anytime you need Kobe to score 81 to beat the Raptors, you know something's wrong.

I can't believe Kobe can shoot 12/18 and score 35 and still lose. Kobe scores 35 on 13/26 and still lose. Losing to team we should've beaten. That's how bad this team is.

I know that Kobe won't bail. He can't. If he does then he will be blamed for the downfall of the organization.

I'm not saying it would be right to blame him. But knowing the media and hatters, man, they would eat him up alive.

Plus, I beleive his resolve is stronger than that. He likes challenges and adversity. His greatest thrill will be to prove everyone that doubted him wrong.

It's sad ever since Kobe climbed the 81 point ladder the Lakers have been playing worse and worse....the Knicks don't count.

mitch: "as far as our next world champ is less than 80-year away, it is fair enough".

To me, this season feels strangely like what happened last season. They were at the exact same point around 24-19 then it collapsed. This season they were 24-20 and it seems to be collapsing all over again. All I can say is I feel sorry for Kobe. I have never said this before about Mitch and even went as far as to defend him, but the team I saw tonight should not even practice against an NBA team and yet they are playing for a great organization like the Lakers, FIRE MITCH!

I think the league has figured us out. The mistique of Phill is gone. They know that if they double and tripple team Kobe, it will create big troubles for our team.

But it's nothing new. In fact, when the pistons beat us in the championshiop series, their defensive scheme seemed to be to simply double and trap Kobe. They weren't realy doubling Shaq so much as they were doubling Kobe.

Too bad the team doesn't know how to capitalize on this yet.
