Thus 4/22 - Lakers @ Thunder - Game 3 - Predictions/Comments

Just a darn shame. This team fails to execute the game plane time and time again. If kobe's gonna shoot anyway, we might as well post him up. I'd have no issue with that. But when he's catching the ball at the 3pt line there really isn't much he can do at this point.

LOL! I'm staying away from realgm and espn board for the next 2 days. Kobe haters is on mode!

Funny stats :-

Kobe - 10/29 (34.5%)
Durant - 8/24 (33.3%)

he's embarrassing himself this whole series... he got swatted like how many times in game 2? getting schooled by younger guys... that's sad when you're supposed to be the experience champion, the best player in the league.

We'll take the next 1. LA has a bad history with Game 3's anyway. Nothing to worry about.

its a must win for us on Saturday.

Laker's greatest opponents are themselves. Seriously, falling in love with the 3 with a pair of 7 footers out there? Give the ball to Bynum and let him go to work FFS. Having Gasol knock down a few early jump shots in Game 1 did a lot to spread the floor and gave Bynum room to work. Now you get the Thunder thinking that they can actually win. Hit em hard and shut em down in Game 4 or else...

how can kobe not know what he's doing?...does he realize how bad hes making himself look

Kobe - 4 rings and tons of playoff experience
Durant - pretty much no playoff experience

absolutely unacceptable... he's consistently performing this bad.

Fish letting Westbrook go Michael Jordan on us is considered a good game?

Defensively...its more of the same from fish. It's a given that guys are gonna blow by him. Offensively he has been playing poor this season, so a game like this is way above average.

it's not even about the numbers. it's about that stretch where kobe was clearly driven by his ego, being guarded by durant, and wanting to go 1-1...1-5 whatever. SO frustrating

Nope just gtfo.

Some of the comments here are Anyway, losing sucks, but Lakers will win the next two games and close out the Thunder.

Shoot better or shoot less.

this is Kobe's team, he can do whatever he wants to do.. you dont like it? go to see cleveland.. not just you, all those stupid "fans" who didnt like what Kobe does . haters.

Kobe, we love you!

There's a reason it's a seven game series. And this is one of a possible seven games... Note key word here is "possible", but I'm hoping for a "close out" in five... After all five is the number we are shooting for, that drive for five... it's this year's theme!

Are you joking? You are saying Kobe can do whatever he wants even if it means the team loses? In the 4th Kobe took 4 maybe 5 shots that he had open people that he could have passed to. Twice Drew was open down low. To top it off the rest of the team was hitting shots. I’m a big Kobe fan but I’m also objective enough to know he was a big part of the reason we lost the game last night. The only reason no but a big part of it. If Fish, Ron, Odom, or Gasol had done the same things last night in the 4th people would be going crazy, but because it’s Kobe people make excuses like he can do no wrong. I’m a Lakers fan first maybe some of you should ask yourself are you a Lakers fan or a Kobe fan. I’m not saying I don’t want him on the team but the truth is he is not playing great right now I’m sure it’s because he is hurt. He needs to step back and realize he can’t put the game on his shoulders right now when he is shooting the way he is.

if we didn't have Kobe, We were losing the second game, when he scored 39 and almost 20 points in the 4 quarter. this is Kobe's team, For better or worse, everybody knows that. so give him credit even for games like yesterday.. He deserves more than that.
