What are you talking about "how will he counter it"? First off, Kobe sat out the first seven minutes of the 2nd quarter, that's one reason his FGA number was down. Secondly, Bryant had three assists in five minutes of play in the second quarter. The Lakers are doing what they need to do when they see the zone. Blake hit from deep twice and Murphy made a baseline cut for an easy layup. That's how "he'll counter it".

I wasn't suggesting he should counter it right now, it was a conceptual question.

Say the game is tied at 100, 2 minutes left in the 4th quarter. The opposing team goes to a zone defense. Will you really put the game in the hands of people other than Kobe, Pau or Drew (ok, maybe fisher too)?
I doubt those Blake 3s and Murphy layups occur during the last minutes of a close game (fatigue, pressure, better defense during crunch time).

That's what I mean by "counter it", how do you get the ball to your key guys in big possessions when the opposing team goes zone in this offense? I wasn't referring to just now.

Beasley auditioning for the Lakers?

Fans should start the "We want Beasley" chant

Kobe and Pau at the scores table waiting to come in? LOL WUT?

How about we start shooting some threes?

This unit is ****ing disastrous on offense. So bad Kobe+Pau are coming back in.

Rejected by Bynum. And Kobe coming back with a 19 point lead? Guess Brown isn't comfortable with the bench. They did take a couple questionable shots early in the clock. Might be a little early for garbage time.

LOL, Darko had no clue where the ball went after his shot got blocked.

Why Bynum don't get more touch. He should be 1st option with Kobe and Pau on the bench. Mike do something !!

Goudelock's been a bit off from deep recently.

what ? i don t get that. why does mike brown bring s gasol and kobe back. we are up 19 points. rest those guys don t let them play a game what we should win

Does this idiot coach know that Kobe leads the NBA in minutes and can use some rest?

Kobe and Drew trollin' the Wolves with the fake clear-out.

WTF Fisher coming back too?

Bynum the beast of the midway tonight!

All starters back in now.

Kobe needs his 30.

Garbage time....

Okay, I'll admit. I LOL'd so hard.

Is it just me or does Anthony Randolph look like he's always about to cry?

Ok, let's bench the starters !!

Luke's in ... that's a blowout for sure !!
