Kobe Discussion: Klapper video, possible 6 months (646)

popavich preaches his players. lets not turn the ball over or take tough shots that will lead them to easy transition buckets..at this point of kobes career, he should know that by now..

Not exactly. The Spurs average 15.14 TO's per game. We average 15.35 TO's per game. The Spurs are ranked #3 in pace. We are ranked #2 in pace. They take quick shots and turn the ball over about as much as we do.

The difference is that they play defense and we don't.

I see taking the blame for yesterdays loss due to his horrendous shooting has helped alot today

Here is the log from tonight.

Chicago (Jan. 21, 2013)

As much as I love Kobe, I really hope for the Lakers sake and future that he retires after this year. We can't rebuild with his huge contract.

Skip some practices. Go to Germany. Get new legs. Dominate.

like this really shows his true negative impact on the game

Coach is a moron. You cannot play Kobe the entire second half. Even in his prime Kobe never did that. This coach has formerly destroyed all bench players confidence and taken Kobe's legs as well. He is AWFUL. Fire this moron already. The team would do better coaching themselves.

Pretty sad this is how Kobe's career will end. We should just start rebuilding next year. He can break a bunch of scoring records with a team of rookies. I wouldn't blame him if he stopped playing defense.

Terribad slump he's having. Might as well not have played tonight... we would've gotten the same result.

i fear this is the end of an era.

Kobe has shot 32%, 31% and 32% (all losses) since his legs delivered that heralded defensive effort on Bucks point guard Brandon Jennings.

Not to mention the nearly 42 mpg he was averaged ever since MDA became the coach

well same old story this season. kobe and the starters need help but they doesn t get it . it s beyond me why we don t try delonte west and kenyon martin. chemistry issues ? cmon what chemistry ? lakers have no chemistry so far .i don t get it why the fo doesn t want to do something like cut some players and get some other players for it. lakers playing bad on all possible scenarios. defense just awful offense what offense ? mike d is asking way to much from kobe. he can t defend and score . it wears him out and he got dead legs . you saw it the last 3 games awful shooting plus awful . mike d has done it . he wore kobe out

idk it will end like this because he still has next year and then his contract is up. But I'd be willing to bet just about anything that Kobe won't want to come back after next year even if next year is better than this year.

ok i know you think im hating but im not but how does he 'not have energy' yet still takes so many shots?

i wouldn't mind him taking those shots if he made close to or more than half but thats not the case.

be quiet. or hopp on the clippers train. because if you would love kobe you wouldn t say such f... stupid [Swearing is not permitted at Clublakers. You must edit this post prior to submitting.]

he is in a terrible slump right now but he is not done . he will comeback and shut all you haters up

Yeah, all that Kobe has given this fan base and franchise, it's pure blasphemy to say that you hope Kobe retires after this year.

No matter how mad we are at this year's team and how it ends, part of the Lakers will die when he calls it a career. No doubt about it.

That's fine. He wouldn't be worth what he would want anyhow. Time to look at the future...

I say it because I root for the name on the front of the jersey not the back of the jersey.

"do something and do it now"

Another horrible shooting game, too many minutes played, just awful 2 games in a row.
