How about, if everyone plays like they are professional basketball players and act like they care, instead of blaming Kobe? Had it not been for him, the game would have been over a long time ago.

Seriously guy, there is absolutely no need for Kobe to take 30 shoots in a game. This team is not a bunch of scrubs and Kobe. It's not. It's Kobe fault not to see it.

and yes it does suck that after an AMAZING 4th quarter by Kobe, we lose this game. Honestly, I don't know how he does it, and i think ppl expect way too much from Kobe. The guy had what 20 in the 4th quarter? He was hitting every tough shot and kept us in the game when we shoulda beeen out of it a long time ago. Gotta give kobe his props tonight unfortunately that shot he took was a 2 not a 3, and then he didnt hit that last shot. Remember kobe was SICK too.

Sure, forget about Fisher going 4 for 12, Artest battling injuries, Farmar and Bynum doing their Casper appearance, and Gasol being thrown around like a rag doll...

Drew played well.... Not his fault FIsh can't defend his man and has to help.

Go away you Troll

This site needs to have Troll preventer. If I made such a program, I'd be rich as **.

You are like 13, right?

Look at the username, that person probably wants Ariza back.

That's right. We were a lot better team with Ariza, IMO.

Didnt get to watch the entire game, but 1 from 5 doesnt really say well to me. The last few games he has been struggling with his role, I cant seem to blame him with his injuries and all but I wish he would concentrate a little more on the defensive and rebounding part of the game.

Why are you guys wasting your time taking Ariza68's bait? Just ignore, so simple.

Let's keep it real. It's ok to blame all the players for loses except when it comes to Kobe, isn't it?.

Nice try troll. I give you props for trying though. nvm, I'll just ignore you.

If guys hit THEIR shots, Kobe wouldn't have to take 30!

Ron: 2-10, Drew: 1-5, Fish: 4-15, Lamar: 3-7, Shannon: 3-7, Jordan: 0-4.

Give me a break. If other players would step up, Kobe wouldn't have the need to try to save them night after night.

Well at least defensively he did well. About all of his shots besides the one basket he made were forced. So that was really his only negative in the game.

Sorry, I didn't know he/she was a troll. Ignoring now.

Outside of Kobe and Gasol, the rest of the team was 13 for 45

WOW!!!

13 for 45!!

I can't believe they even had a chance to win at the end. This team has hit a wall. Period.

I bet Carmelo agrees too.

Bynum + Gasol + Odom -> 25 shots
Kobe all alone -> 30 shots

That's the problem, my friend.

Just ignore the trolls. IMHO, the moderators do a pretty good job here of keeping them out.

Let's be real... You might want to look closer to my posts or user-id before you say something to me.

I'm not a troll. I think this game is on Kobe and that's all. I don't like Kobe taking more shots than our entire front line.

That's awful, I don't believe the Magic are that good of a defensive team. Fortunately the next game is Tuesday at Staples against the Raptors, so the Lakers will probably break through that wall. If not, I'll be Come on Lakers, snap this losing streak so we can put this slump behind us.

Shooting percentages from the three game trip
Farmar 7-20 .350
Brown 8-21 .380
Bynum 9-23 .391
Artest 7-28 .250
Fisher 10-25 .400
Gasol 17-38 .447
Odom 12-21 .571
Bryant 36-79 .455

i can't believe that we made L3. we have a lot of away games remaining. we can finish the west in the 1st place though. but i have doubts for the league leading and unfortunately for the championship. how can we beat cavs in finals???

Thanks for the stats, Quest. That list makes some sense, as LO, Kobe, and Gasol have been OK. But when Fish is the 4th best shooter on the team, you know something's wrong. And Artest, what's going on with him? Maybe better shot selection?

LOL. Now that's hilarious.

Okay. No more.
