the biggest problem was tonight, Odom took the game off.
Pau and Powell frontcourt is just not big enough to handle Shaq.

Is this based on the boxscore or what? Very few of Gasol's buckets were on Shaq. |

Stop mentioning this 47% crap. The 47% thing is irrelevant. In real game time, Kobe was shooting 50%. In the end, the lakers needed to hit 3s and Kobe took some forced shots to salvage the game.
In that scenario, its freaking irrelevant.. |

I agree. He just scored 30 on that Amu with almost a 70 & and grabbed as many rebounds as him. Let´s trade his lazy ass |
I don't know you being sarcastic but if Amu was guarding his ass he should have dropped 40 -50 points and don't blame the amount of touches because there were many times I wanted the ball going through Pau but he is like 15-18 feet away from the basket |

I agree he should have tried a bit more when he had the ball in his hands. He´s faster than Shaq, and maybe he could have driven to the basket with that quick movements he uses against bigger guys. |

In the 4th Kobe took a few forced shots he should have passed around first, but then again he was playing with Ariza, Sasha, Luke and Mbenga, all of whom were shooting terribly. |

You can also count in 2 shots in the last 5 seconds of the 1st quarter that were misses. The only problem I have with Kobe tonight were some of the shots in the 1st and when he got cold in the 3rd and yet continued to shoot. But I guess that's the mentality of these superstars, he got them a 5 point lead singlehandedly and probably thought it was best if he kept shooting considering he was hotter than Adriana Lima. Overall, I don't understand how anyone can blame him out of all people for tonight's loss. Pau and Kobe are the only two that came to play, the rest of the team apparently got stuck in Denver. The bench (outside that 4th quarter 2 minute good run) was pathetic again, Odom, Fisher and Walton were nonfactors and our defense in 3 quarters was bad. But let's blame Kobe, because he shot more than 21 times! |

we actually didn't see a lot of the Kobe-Pau pick and rolls where Kobe passes to Pau and Pau drills the 10 footers. maybe in the playoffs. just a tidbit, all of Kobe's assists were converted by Pau

He shot over 50% until the last few minutes when the lakers were basically out of the game. |
