Metta. He's uniquely qualified.

explains it all. And I can actually envision the sessions.

How did Metta miss that

Why would we go for the win?

Good. You don't get to praise Kobe this game.

okay

Ouch...that was a really good look for Kobe.

8-10

I honestly can't believe how bad this team is. Nothing is going to fix this crap, they're just bad. Bad bad bad

I love it. 8-10. What a season. Last two gms, 4th qtr points given up: 40 and 34.

Pathetic

Horrible.

But you know what... after all these crazy losses... I'm not even upset anymore. I don't care that much. I'll simply accept that we're not that good and keep watching because I'm a fan of the team. But I would like to know why... what exactly is the problem?

I just don't want Pau to be blamed for this game.

Didn't mind it, we got the shot off early. Plus, offensive rebound...

im just confused. This team is cursed.

Kobe HERO ball

I guess we can start looking ahead to next season. This team is a joke.

I don't mind that last 3 for Kobe. They gave him room. Ron should have hit that gimmie though.

is this even possible???????

Good job, good effort !

it makes NO SENSE!!! Why not run a pick n roll at the middle of the key, with kobe and dwight. horrible out of bounds call.

That Fing hurt.

No it's not. But hey, you can't even realize it's "loss" and not "lost".

This loss is on D'Antoni. Even before hack-a-dwight he was costing us the game. He left one of the most horrible units out there for too much time in the 4th and let the Rockets cut into the lead, gain momentum & rythm. Then he put the starters back, and failed to sub Howard out when they started fouling. It was evident to all of us he was going to kill our chances and yet he stuck with that weak choker (who btw has no business being the prima donna that he is).
The hack-a-dwight hurt us BAD. It takes rythm away from our guys, kills our offense and takes away every bit of momentum we had.
Then Kobe forced a shot, that was pretty awful, but I liked the drive to the basket, and I thought he was fouled (no call). He hit a clutch 3 also, then missed another one.

To me it was clearly & mainly D'Antoni's fault. I ****ing hate Howard for missing FTs, but it's on D'Antoni for not taking him out. Kobe wasn't good, but he was NOT the main culprit. Stop being so myopic.
