well, LA still has yet to beat a good team on the road sans Houston (if you call them good)

the only good teams they've played on the road so far are houston, phx, and denver. and they have yet to play a good team on the road with everyone healthy.

We all knew we would get blown out tonight

How many good teams have we played on the road?

We let Dudley scrub get a new career high.

I think that our team outside of Kobe has gotten a little bit too comfortable with knowing that Kobe "can" take over and win games for them. Last season, Kobe's numbers were down, but his leadership was infectious and the team was acting like a hivemind. This season, We hit that in spurts, but it seems like much of the team, the bench especially, are freeballing it or deferring to Kobe far too often.

Disclaimer: I am in no way blaming Kobe, he has been unfathomably good this season. Still though, it seems like the more Kobe is shouldering the load, the less the rest of the team even tries.

I don't understand this lineup. Mbenga? Morrison? No Kobe?

Since he became a Sun, he's always played good against us. No surprise.

Very lame.

I'll keep it shot:

Yes.

Phil gives us already with the lineup he's having out there.

we have just 1 new player, I think we need more, not enough hunger in this team anymore

I guess Phil has gave up on this game, resting his starters for Golden State tmr.

hopefully the bench gets it down to 8 with 2 minutes left... that would be sick.

not gonna happen tho

Hell yeah no kobe, lets see what the team can do w/o him.

i think he threw in the towel when he took kobe out.

Obviously, they went small and our bigs failed.
