Sun. 4/24 - Lakers @ Hornets Game 4 - Predictions/Comments

Officiating has always been bad, but its worse then ever.

Kobe has been laughable. Just laughable. Worst game I've seen him play in years.

kobe hasn't been himself for a better part of the whole season (up and down)... i thought it would change... i hope it changes.

Someone hasn't made a single bucket, INCLUDING freethrow.

Is it just me or did Ariza torch Kobe in the first half?

the halftime show doesn't even mentioned kobe with 7 assists.....

Wow...is Kobe serious? Pound the freaking ball inside. Stop pulling up for 20 ft heat checks when you have a size advantage down low. Oh and Pau, ONE TIME challenge a layup by a guard.

Ended the half with a 12-0 run by the Hornets. Lakers need to get their heads out of their collective behinds in the 2nd half. The Hornets are undermanned but are outplaying the bigger Lakers. I hope its not a case of taking the foot off the gas because they have one to give now that they got home court back.

kobe isn't the kobe of old... so he's not gonna torch a team by himself but he's gonna have to play better. can't get any worse.

Zero points...you're not allowed to say anything positive

Kobe frequently has halfs like this where he can't buy a bucket and tries to distribute. The only difference is that the refs aren't sending him to the FT line AT ALL, and he's missed a couple of gimmes. Kobe really isn't playing that badly.

But it's the playoffs! No room for mistakes/off nights.

It almost looked like a mismatch. If you didn't know about bball you woulda thought Ariza was the best in the game and Kobe was the role player.

Kobe hasn't scored a point and we're only down by 4 at the half. I'll take it.

Indeed!

On top of that Bynum and Pau were limited by fouls.

Somebody need to box out Okafor ...

Bad luck there....

Kobe....finally...

just give cp3 a flagrant because hes a douche

Play on the ball? more like a play on the shoulders.

Nothing there but a hard foul.....

According to Reggie's logic, you have to fall down in order for it to be a flagrant.

Flagrant 5....for sure...

Reggie Miller is once again annoying the **** out of me.

I've always considered him a border line Kobe hater . Sometimes , though, he seems to press the "hate Accelerator" a bit much ......

weak offensive foul call

drew seriously, another dumb foul bro
