Fri. 1/11 - Lakers vs Thunder - Predictions & Comments

I really hate trust fund babies. I really do.

Jimbo needs to go.

i think Dwight will leave on summer, thats his style.......

Durant and Westbrook still in this is crazy

tigerjeterkobe: I agree about his off the ball D in general, but I think he's actually playing good defense tonight. That's why I said "watch tonight." Wasn't being a smarta**. He looks good.

Yeah... even if it gets remotely close, Durant will knock it out of reach. Money in the clutch.

I am not blaming Kobe for losses. He is trying hard -- on offense. I am talking about defense only. I am sick of seeing him roam, gamble, not get back, not get through screens, and play lazy. Period. This this this and this

You are correct.... Kobe is the reason the defense is bad. Playing roaming defense for the first time in his career has been hard to take. WTF, why would he change his game? Look, this team has many defensive issues and yes Kobe does complain way to much after plays. HOWEVER, getting pissy about it like he isn't the reason LA is even EVER in a game is overreacting at its best.

Ugly miss, Kobester. But a good look.

we shoot 3's like we can actually make them

Jamison can't play D.

why is Kobe's FG rate didn't bring down my opponents FG total

Well, he is trying more, but failing against Durant and Westbrook. But in terms of effort when on the ball, sure. Like he did against CP3 late in the game. He tried, but was not effective.

But that is not my point -- your are right about certain on the ball D. But it is not just his off the ball, it is his transition D after he misses a chucked 3 too.

Anyway. It is a terrible night to be a Laker fan. Blow out. at home. on national TV. and hill out for season.
So his few lazy times that I saw tonight set me off.

I am only watching now because I hope Westbrook sprains and ankle. Sorry. Sad to say, but true.

Serious question: you guys think Nash is 100%?

why we no play good? 4-22 from 3. No D on Westprick.

shoot, shoot, chuck, chuck, chuck... Antoni is wack...

This kind of offense, where it's just sprint down the court and first guy to reach the arc launches a three is TERRIBLE for this team. We won't win that way. We won't build any momentum. We won't work on the execution. We'll just form terrible habits.

This is horrible

Why wouldn't you? He's deferring to Kobe a bit too much, but he does seem like his normal self.

hmmmmm. may be something to that. think he has pain and is not saying anything about it?

will have to watch him back pedal and move laterally more. even his walk.

I seriously wouldn't mind a hard @!# flagrant 1 or flagrant 2 on KD/Westbrook..where is the pride? they're just TOYING.
