Kobe Discussion: Clash of the Titus! (671)

The last two plays where we Iso'd Kobe was my only complaint. I don't care if we run the Iso but no one moved and Kobe turned it over in critical time. Made up for it with 9/9 from the line though. Great game overall.

I actually yelled out "MOVE!"

Just noticed this update on the RealGM article:

Update: Mike Bresnahan of the Los Angeles Times reports that the Lakers will not file a complaint against Cuban for his comments. The NBA, however, is reviewing the matter and can fine him for publicly speaking about the status of another team's player.

Thats what I thought. The League Office hates Cuban so I assume he gets fined. He should be too.

That was fun to see, I like what Kobe has been doing to win, but once in a while vintage Kobe scoring is fun.

If only our guys were reliable enough for us to enjoy watching him score like this as well as dish out a acceptable amount of assists. But our other guys are not consistent enough for him to have that kind of privilege, his legs will probably feel like he's carrying bricks if or when they reach the playoffs.

Inhale. Then exhale. (Not the other way around).

Ok, now ... I never defended anything. I just didn't see anything in there from Cuban where he suggested that the Lakers should amnesty Kobe. He never actually said that, did he? (I mean, maybe he did but he wasn't quoted as such in the article).

I mean, I thought we didn't like it when the media blows things out of proportion. We just went through this. I was just pointing out how the media blew his comments out of proportion with the article title (I'm sure for the same selfish reasons they blow the Kobe/Dwight thing out of proportion).

I don't even understand your comment really. Do you blindly defend everything that is Laker? I don't think you do, do you?

LOL.. You are comedy. Inhale. Exhale. You should try it yourself.

Like I said, Damn you defend anything that is against LA. It wasn't a guess it was an observation. I know it is true because you came with your "inhale. exhale" quip. Typical.

Maybe had you said it might be blown out of proportion. You jumped in saying the title was rediculous and Mark never said Amnesty Kobe. Guess the League Office also is blowing it out of proportion too by looking into it to fine him. I know its hard to understand but an owner can not talk about a player who is under contract for another team.

I don't blindly defend anything. It just seems I am always defending cause a few of you only find ways to knock the team at every chance. I am sure you have issue with Kobe shooting 23 times tonight.

thanks mamba for this awesome performance. he willed us to win . he had some turnovers but at the end of the day lakers won that game because of that man kobe bryant. again thanks for that scoring in the 2nd half espicially it was much needed that scoring out put tonight

40/7/4 tonight, not bad for a 34 yrs old rite

He had 40 pts with just 9 FA, meaning most of his points were all work from the hardwood

Charles Barkley has something to say

How's that amnesty looking Cuban?

The most impressive part is he did it in just 35 minutes so he didn't even go all out to get us this victory, he just made the most of his shot attempts.

kobe was brilliant tonight espicially in the 2nd half . in the 3rd he had 18 points to keep us in the game . thanks kobe

He gave us his blessing.

LeBron's the best all around player in the game.

Durant's the best shooter in the game.

But my God, Kobe Bean Bryant is the absolute s***.

I really wouldn't want anyone else.

Have to give Kobe props for attacking the rim more.

Barkley looks dumber and dumber with every comment he makes Melo >>> Kobe... right

Barkley still bitter after Kobe refused to let him ride his and Shaq's coattails to a championship in the threepeat.

You never answered my question. Did Mark actually suggest that the Lakers amnesty Kobe?

When the League Office looks in to things, does that mean the accusations have merit? What happens when the league hands down a punishment as a result of the accusations? Would you say then, that the punished player/person deserved it because the League Office said so? Definitely want to see the answer to that question because you just might be the first person to think what the League Office does = truth!

Bottom line, I thought the article TITLE was misleading. Clearly intended to draw attention rather than properly summarize the article's content. I mean if you agree with that sentiment then shhh, move on to something else instead of making it a personal thing. If you disagree, and feel the title was an accurate summation of the content, let's talk about it.

I mean you've offered nothing of value to the conversation about the article, instead you just make personal attacks about how I defend ANYTHING that isn't LA. *rolls eyes*

Great game. We needed his scoring last night. Extremely efficient.

Mind-blowing isn't it? This guy is as competitive as they have EVER come. Incredibly amazing to see, except for a couple of shots & that turnover down the stretch Excellent game nonetheless.
