We got 118 from Memphis 113 from Utah 106 from SA 122 against Orlando 107 agaist Phoenix and 109 from Sacramento! I hope you know the answer now! WE HAVE THE WORST DEFENSE IN THE LEAGUEAtlanta is out of the world!

worst defense in the league and a winning record. hmmm..

lakers D is bad, but not the worst in the league by any means

True, GuRu.

People act like we are bad.

DET has a WORSE RECORD (6-7) than LAL and they are the DEFENDING NBA CHAMPIONS!!!!!!!!

Chew on that for a little while...

I guess you are the only one surprised by their 0-6 record when they give up 100 points, and their losses to the spurs, suns, kings, and jazz. If you aren't playing defense, getting lucky by bad players missing open jumpers isn't called playing defense.

A constant or consistent ability to contest shots no matter who is shooting, is what results in wins, against the best and worst. It's ok if you don't understand.

so why blame the team's lackadazical D on just one person? it's not kobe's man whoz killin the lakers. if i remember correctly, kobe did shut down one of the best shooters in the league, Redd. hez fully capable of playing good defense.

I don't disagree that kobe is a good defender, but the fact remains that Kobe at times decides NOT to play defense. And in this game, that is clear. The guy that defended Redd, isn't in this game tonight.

That's why Allen or Mobley have lit up the Lakers in the past. B/c while Kobe gets the recognition of being a top defender, occasionally he doesn't show up defensively. And when he isn't, he deserves to be criticized because of it.

I dont think lefty mo is saying Kobe has bad dee hes just slacking off. Kobe has been playing great defense this season, Maggette, Redd, Q-rich,

Yes. Don't be fooled. LAL clearly is the more talented team. They just have to learn to PLAY as a team...

Kobe has been having very inconsistent first halfs this year

criticize all you want, but the person hez guarding, or not guarding has only two fg's.

The question, is, will they learn in time to get the win tonight?

Are you watching the game?

He's not staying on just wesley... he's rotating around and switching occasionally on armstrong. Especially on perimeter plays, he's switching around, and not really moving.

On that play Kobe tried to get to Wesley and they called an offensive foul.

He just had a nice help block.

gotta pull away from these guys! :bang:

ugly game

leftymo · by **leftymo** on Sun Nov 28, 2004 8:59 pm

Kobe's 4-11 with 6 turnovers...

on that last great scoring play by butler...

kobe switches off of wesley and takes armstrong (like i said earlier)... armstrong lines up wide open at the 3 point line, kobe stays right next to mihm for a rebound that doesn't come.

If the ball gets rotated correctly, armstrong is wide open and unguarded.

The play resulted in a positive, but just watch kobe for me.... see what he does... and doesn't do. Don't watch the ball.

by **Guest** on Sun Nov 28, 2004 8:59 pm

i hope wesley keep shooting.

lol correct me if im wrong, but wasnt ur concern, in the first half, was the fact that kobe was givin wesley open looks?

We're shooting poorly in the 2nd half :bang:

the way he's going, i hope so too!

but again, kobe gets lucky, he's on armstrong who hits a 3 on him, but after the clock expired...doesn't count.
