Way to jinx it.

as soon as i read that, i knew we were doomed

So did I. Every time someone posts something like that in the Game day thread we lose. Always.

Awful way to start a season. EPIC choke job. EPIC.

Unbelievable. Free throws and turnovers (Kobe), costs us that game.

epic choke job by Kobe and everyone else...

what a huge meltdown. I can't believe we missed all those FTs...


Gasoft made some major mistakes. missing FTs, fouling Deng etc...

I guess we are average. Anyway it was a solid fight. We just too stupid.

Idiots cant hit free throws then Kobe turns into Smush Parker for 4-5 plays in a row.

PAU, when Kobe is trapped in the corner, you COME GET THE BALL.

Dumb turnover at the end of the game.

This laker team really needs to cut down on the turnovers....too much forcing it too kobe.

Also at the end D. fish wide open in the corner...3 on 1 isn't going to cut it kobe.

Too bad. I thought we played relatively well, and that foul they called on Kobe was bogus. Oh well. It will be ok.

Anyone who wouldn't give Gasol and Bynum for D12 is crazy.

Turnovers.

another Christmas ruined

I swear to god Kobe, turns the ball over, then goes 1 on 4 for the last shot with open guys everywhere.

Now im pissed i followed this game. Ruined my day and night.

Don't forget several really bad missed calls by the refs.

Deng flop
Deng fouled Pau on the steal
Deng up and down

A lot of miracles had to go right for them to make it possible.

TO's didn't help, but we had a shot to ice this game and Pau and McBob failed to do that. So sad.

Eh.. those 4 missed ft's killed us.

This team is average. This franchise switching to Jim Buss is now average.

Why did Kobe pass?

Kobe usually pulls up off the dribble for those last possession shots. I'm confused as to why he decided to dribble into 3 defenders and try to either draw a foul, which rarely happens on game-deciding shots, or make an insanely difficult shot. Maybe his wrist was bothering him too much? You rarely see Kobe go for layups/floaters on game winning shots.

Why is Kobe out rebounding Pau and Mcroberts?

From Kobe's TO's, LA not efficient from FT's and the horrendous fouls to end the game.. that was a pathetic loss.

Fisher was guarding freaking Rose to end the damn game? Mike Brown is as much to blame as the rest of the stupidity. There's no reason Blake shouldn't have been in the game guarding him, I'll just bet Rose wouldn't have gotten so deep then.

Why the hell isn't Barnes subbing in for Ebanks? Barnes better be suspended or injured there's no reason he shouldn't get the nod off the bench, Ron sucks horrible.

lol. This team s*cks badly!
I didn't watch the game..uffff
