They're strictly offensive players now. They want to get theirs.

Well... could be worse I guess without Kobe.

our only hope is if they go cold in the 2nd half

Sebastian Telfair shooting 35% from the field and 29% from three has 13 points on 5-7 shooting and 2-2 from three

And Brown was rolling out the defensive lineup off the bench.

The guy is a moron. You have to play Glock and put offense out there. You ain't stoppin' the Suns, especially with our phantom defense.

124 points we've surrendered in the past 4 quarters

Our defense parts like the red seas the moment a Phoenix guy decides to drive to the basket. Mr. "10-day contract" is killing us. Steve Blake, on the other hand, is in a 4-year contract for $5mil a year. Sigh....and Mike Brown, "genius" that he is, is playing him.

Gettin' his zero on.

12 and 10 at half is the "zero"?.... is that on the "Kobe" scale?.....

In that trip to the FT line.

This is hard to watch..

They don't even remotely use Sessions right at all...................................

It wasn't Pau or Bynum's man that scored. Both Pau and Bynum were ahead of their assignments.

Sabastien Telfair scored with the guards and SF's standing around.

Lakers need to trade either Pau or Bynum this off season. Twin Towers success really doesn't last long...

Dwight Howard is such a faker. Not sure if anyone else saw his "doubled over" interview because he was in so much pain and just giving his all for his team.

Maybe this game will make Drew come back to earth a bit more. Also waiting for Browns BS explanation for not playing Glock. Im not that high on the kid but we could def. use some of his shooting tonight. It's obvious now, that he did something to Brown.

I don't think you give up that combo down low unless you get something incredible. Now that we have a PG, we need to see how the team gels (and I mean in the playoffs) before we rush to anything rash.

Pau isn't about "getting his", he's just passive IMO. He's taking jumpshots, which allows him not to go down there and use his body. He says he wants more touches down low, but I don't buy that. He just looks so weak and soft when he's posting up.. Obviously that passiveness applies to his D too.

the problem is that there is no hope that brown is smart enough to figure that out. I'm really, really starting to hate our coach.

he is going to do way more to prevent us from winning titles rather than help us to win titles.

Like last night at the presser they asked him if he had spoken to bynum yet and he said no. No? I mean, no? If I was the coach i woulda been right in his grill the second I walked into the locker room. I was hoping the team would suspend bynum for tonight; obviously we can't do that without Kobe.

I can't remember a team that won a title despite their coach.

Oh.... gotcha!

He looks stiff out there... no knee bend on those free throws.....

I'm not watching; just following. I was wondering about his body language. There's no doubt he's mentally in some turmoil. Was wondering if it carried over into the physical look of his game.

His numbers look absolutely fine; even the 6-16 doesn't bother me too much.

Yeah, he must have stole his wallet or something. The Brown hate for GLOCK is now at epic levels.

I've never been on board with his antics from the beginning.... Is the local press/fans starting to turn on him down there?.....

The view of him here is generally pretty ridiculously inflated. I think there's more a move to simply ignore the conflict. That way no one has to question their idol. Once he's gone, though, I expect him to be crucified.
