Thurs. 2/23 - Lakers @ Thunder - Predictions & Comments

Kobe

dumb shot but looked like he was tapped on the elbow and as usual no call

And there goes the lead

man i hate these 3 s late at shotclock always lead to a run out and easy score for the opponents.

heres another poor shooting night for kobe. settling and forcing

We only got 6 points on 3-8 shooting out of our bench in the first rotation..... not going to get it done.

Lmao. Did they just give the ball to Perkins? Thanks for that extra possession.

F'ing Kobe man. Bad shot and then no hustle to get back on D. LAZY.

We need to play smart ball.

man one dumb jumpshot after another by kobe

we know what kobe CAN do but when hes playing like this and not knocking them down it really hurts us. no ball movement when hes got it and plans on shooting

When Murphy is beating our wings and guards back, while being under the hoop to start with, something is wrong....

Jus keep it close. Low scoring game favors LA.

Terrible transition defense again, no effort

Yes, we know what Kobe CAN do. That's why it's so frustrating to see him not adjust his game.

That's not even the worst part. His dumb shots are hurting us in terms of wasting possessions but then he follows that up by letting Harden get out and run in transition which almost always equals a free basket for OKC.

They are slightly more athletic then us.

so far stopping durant is not happened yet

Another WTF night from Kobe....

man pound the ball inside instead of jacking off so many jumpshots. please kobe try to get in to the paint

We're SLOW Feb is not Kobe's best month i guess

Maybe you can post Harden up Kobe ? Just saying ...

I will never understand why Bryant insists on hoisting up low percentage contested shots instead of getting his shots off of ball movement. I guess it's the challenge of making low percentage shots. Just seems dumb to me. And OKC knows he's going to take static, contested shots and they're just releasing his man for easy transition hoops on the other end. Those Bad Kobe shots all too often result in 4 point swings. It's a lot to compensate for. I just wish he'd play a smarter game.

They have really been getting after Kobe.... Bynum and Gasol need to step it up. Bynum's missed a couple makable shots.....

This is without Thabo. Kobe is supposed to have an easier time.

he played to many minutes in the beginning of the season, so kobe is a little tired right now or he looked tired i guess
