He should've done this a LONG time ago.

Hopefully Kobe will just play Kobe ball the rest of the road trip

That Hawks game will be hard to watch if they play like this, they'll lose by 30 is they put this effort in that game

come on, you now how it is, they'll win wednesday, and they'll win convincingly.

Thank you Pau and Kobe for showing up.

I have serious doubts this team even make it to the finals.

aren't you guys tired of wishing and hoping this team will wake up ? i would be very surprised if this team 'turns it on' during the playoffs... it's looking less and less likely.

Yea, but to bad he has done that in too many games this season

Crappy loss, not the end of the world though.. Just another case of late season malaise... (yes I just used that word in a sentence- shoot me now)..


Onward to ATL and let's see what these MF'ers in Purple and Gold got..

I think we'll go down to the wire in the Hawks game but still lose.

He has, he's made comments, yelled at them, there nothing more that he or Phil can do...

naw, we'll be o.k. in the west. We've go a hex on dallas and denver are still a bunch of mental midgets.

I am indeed tired of waiting for the team to turn it up. They need to do it starting with the next game against the Hawks on the road.

Kobe/Pau/Lamar and Artest can only do so much. Every night we go into games with huge disadvantages at the point guard spot and bench.

no one cares what you think, dont you have a cavs game to watch?....

hey, at least we're still up a few games over Dallas, but it looks like DAL is gonna win tonight.

Another game that proves we need to have Drew.

We'll see. But this loss has definitely put a dent in my confidence about this team (for now).

Does anyone know when he's coming back?

All the injuries over the season to pretty much everybody have caused the team's lack of rhythm, the fact that we've been able to hold onto the 1st place in the WC is purely based on talent of the starting 5 (switch Fish and Lamar), oh, and those Kobe buzzers.

I share similar view though, since there isn't much else turn to.

Good effort....they could have given up when the deficit swelled to 17....but kept playing and got it to the point where it was winnable.

Of course, you need to make shots for that to happen. Too many missed open looks and freethrows though. I wish Kobe had attacked the basket sooner...and frankly I also think that Phil kept him and Pau out for too long in the fourth.

Exactly. Of all the playoff teams, we have the worst PG and bench. Hell, Jamal Crawford ALONE is better than out bench, without Lamar.

Gears never shift this late into the season. You are what you when this time of the season comes around. Even the Shaq/Kobe lakers that were known to not play hard during the regular season, were blowing teams out at this time around.
