We got problems.... it'll be interesting to learn any specifics....

Lamar Odom even reasoned that Kobe Bryant should shoot the ball 40 or 50 times a game because nobody else is doing his job.
looks like its not an issues with kobe this time. |

I can't wait for the "..talk to Kobe, he's the GM" line.

| Almost the entire roster is expendible; I hope each and every "unhappy" guy is immediately benched and shown the door at the end of the season. |

| Smush should be happy he is a starter on this team. We gave him a chance. |

| Smush's problem is that he's a role player that thinks he's a team leader. |

To many little comments and jabs like this from Smush from the " I liked our team D,after Kobes 81 to lots of other little remarks........It's quite apparent the "wanna be star" is envious of a certain someone Cough #8,cough.........The only thing wrong that I can see with the chemistry is Smush......cant quite stick him with it,but it seems to be where the smoke is coming from......and where there is smoke......there is fire.....
I dont see this with others on the squad,not even in the slightest...but watching this team and Smush for every minute of the season,pre-season included I know just what he is about,and what he is feeling......I'll leave it at that.......
One thing he should be very happy about is the fact he has the starters spot by default......And If I were coach, George would be playing there along side Kobe in a match up zone......It just cant be worse than his "D"......Always careful, watching the fouls smush......

Easy, it can be changed by getting rid of those who don't fit in

Cook and Kobe get along...and have tremendous confidence in their game
Lamar is too passive to hate kobe... plus he is constantly looking for that Waldo gig post bball
George is despondent as usual
Kwame has issues.... serious mental issues
Turiaf has an excellent attitude that inspires...no one obviously
Sasha gets too butt hurt all the time
McKie is committing robbery
Smush is the only guy that plays street ball that has average handles and thinks hes better than he is
Walton has been crap since Rudy T broke his confidence
Slava still sux azz livin off the few games Malone missed
Mihm thinks Vince Young is smart... 
Bynum WANTS to play... but he cant cuz hes still learning
Wafer shoots 33%........... in the d league!
Devin Green needs BOTOX real bad... his forehead is all scrunched up!!
Kupchak couldnt make a deal on "Lets make a Deal"
Jim Buss is too busy doing interviews about the Bunny Ranch and how he pays for 5 women at a time
Jerry Buss has become frugal
Jeanie is just happy that phil is around again
and Phil is gettin laid everyday ... good organization right about now...

Smush can't hit a freethrow, get the ball across half court in 8 seconds, and talk without seeming like he's reading what he's saying from a card...
Here's one way to change it, get rid of you! SMUSH SUCKS! |

""I don't blame him shooting the ball 40 or 50 times a night," Odom said. "If I had his talent, I'd do the same thing. We should be embarrassed. I am."
We'll see who really are PISSED at being embarrassed by one of the worse teams in the NBA?!?!
"We just had poor spacing," Parker said. "I wanted to pick up the ball and pass it, and it was too late."
Uh, where was he gonna pick up the ball, in the middle of the triple-team?!?! |

Who would have thought that Chucky Atkins' replacement would end up a worse locker room cancer than him?
This guy was a feel-good success story earlier in the season. Punk doesn't understand that he fell into the right place at the right time, and into a situation that could take care of him for life. Game over, man, game over. Kobe will make sure this moron never sees a second season in a Laker uniform. Between this comment and the turnover tonight, that was his future with the team ending in one swoop. |

Poor spacing? Has he seen the tape of it? You choked, you stupid moron. It was a D-league turnover, something you are familiar with. Spacing my ass. |

guys....in 2 years smush isn't going to be on the lakers anymore. this is what we call "limbo".
having said that...the dude is right. there's no team defense and no triangle execution.

| We saw what that "talk to Kobe, he's the GM" line did to Chucky's trade value. Anything similar would likely bring down anyone else's value. I still don't believe they'll miss the playoffs, but if you do make sure you have some value to make the moves you want to make. |
