I don't think that we need more offense (even though it looks BAD lately). He just shouldn't be shooting, thats it

I agree. Play tough D, pass the ball and only shoot if you're alone under the basket.

Lol I really needed that laugh. Thanks.

I'm honestly all for it. He's NEVER been a good fit on this team, even last year he wasn't a good fit. We're literally playing 4 on 5 on offense with him on the floor and it's killing us. I wouldn't be mad if we started Shannon and Kobe at the 2 and 3 really.

Man, LO is a beast this year.

It's not as simple as "he shouldn't be shooting". You can't play teams 4 vs. 5 on offense.

There is quite few teams like that in the NBA

Artest = DEFENSE

We've seen it before. We'll be OK.

I'm so tired of seeing this guy kill our offense. Most nights when you look at the boxscore, he is 1 for 8. Dude has been here for over a year now and he still doesn't understand the basics of the triangle.

We don't need Kobe playing SF. We should start Matt instead if Phil is going to bench Ron.

OK, so who do we get for Artest? Maybe we can trade him for King James.

Or maybe we can lower our standards and only get Iguodala.

Ufffff, i was afraid of a no Lakers games vision

Yeah I'm fine with this too. Barnes has played substantially better than Artest this year. Except Brown's a 45% 3pt shooter compared to Barnes 35%.

yay we beat the...............nets.

Alright, could be worse.

Hopefully, now that Bynum is coning back, we should be playing much better: get more rebounds, score more effectively and tighten up the D in the paint.

mvp chants

Love hearing the MVP chants in other buildings

M-V-P!

Not really. He had a couple of bad stretches last year but this season he's been awfully inconsistent offensively all year long which is VERY suspect given that he should be better with a year under his belt. There's a difference between "he's having a bad night" and "he's so awful teams will be able to double off of him regularly". At this rate it might even be safe to assume that "he'll never get it" with guys like Barnes and Blake being able to pick up the offense so quickly and so easily. A read-react system just might not be for Ron who is more suited to play in a continuity offense.

6 point win against the Nets.

Time to start the celebration!

Thank god we have Kob & LO.
