This is why Slava and George will always come off the bench.. INCONSISTENCY..

WHY IS PHIL SITTING KOBE WHEN WE'RE DOWN BY 13?

He hit 25 straight threes before the game! Play Kobe, Phil!

WHAT IS THIS?

Flagrant foul? TERRIBLE CALL. This is so stupid.

Seriously, does Slava understand the definition of an off night? you can't shoot 50% every night! He was jacking up shots all day earlier in the game. Some of them were just blown lay up, but other were just bad shots. Slava lost this one for us.

Why are we feeding it in to Shaq when we're down by 16?

We need QUICK scores and quick stops.

KOBE FOR THREE!

LETS GO.

Lakers down by 12

Shaq's fouled out.

Let Kobe keep shooting threes.

Shaq's gone, we got to get Yao out of the game now

Shaq and Yao both get 5 fouls....and Kobe on fire....comback this game~~

Kobe has to keep draining 3's if we want to try and win

I want to know why there wasn't a T on Mobley, when Shaq was at the line for the last time, Mobley went right up to Shaq's face at the line and was talking smack

They need to actually RUN PLAYS FOR HIM :man7:

Whoever's calling the shots is doing a terrible job. Kobe has barely even touched the ball tonight and our gameplan was screwed from the start.

Why did Phil wait so long to bring Kobe in in the Fourth?

Why, when Shaq fouled out did Slava come in? Why not Luke?

Slava has played like garbage and Luke could dish out some dimes. This is the only game so far that I have questioned Phil.

I think this game was the worst game I've seen coached by Phil Jackson. He usually doesn't make this many questionable moves.

Game's over... terrible coaching.

Am I the only one who was baffled by Kobe's limited playing time (as well as his lack of touches on the court). I thought the guy would never miss a three... he just wasn't given many opportunities. It could've been a close one.

I totally agree with you-- compare him to Slava.

Slava shot THIRTEEN TIMES in just NINETEEN MINUTES!

FINAL

Slava was just plain awful. The thing about Slava is if he doesn't hit his first couple of shots he is horrible. After he went 1-7 he should have never come back in the game.

Has Phil forgotten about the passing genius of Luke Walton.

This was ridiculous. I totally blame this los on the coaching staff and Gary. Phil didn't draw anything up for Kobe. And Gary didn't get him the ball, it looked like they were trying to avoid Kobe from getting the ball. Do you think they thought they were playing keep away?

Yeah, wasn't Luke supposed to replace Slava starting against the Heat?

How can you only get 7 shots when you're on FIRE from downtown?

Then we try and have Kobe save us when there's 2 minutes left and we're down by 15.

Looks like Phil forgot about a few things tonight. Kobe, Luke, Russell, and Sampson

I am sorry, I don't care if Sampson is only 5%, he could do better than Slava did. Slava- was 1-13 from the field, and 1-2 from the line. If you can't shoot, then at least get to the line!!!

Worst game I have ever seen Slava play

I would give POTG honors to Shaq, but seeing how he got worked by Yao I just can't do it. Everyone played crappy especially Slava. I swear I wanted to slap him after he was just jacking up those shots. Also, the 3rd quarter once again was a nightmare. We for some reason can't really get a good start to the 3rd, even in the Miami game it got really close for a bit in the 3rd. I know it was a back-to-back up this could have been a statement game and we blew it. We've lost the season series too. Kobe played OK, but he was too passive. In the 3rd went Houston started running away with it Kobe should have commanded the ball, he was money from 3 for the whole game. The break will be good for us. Games like these show Karl importance to us. Since his injury we are regularly getting out rebounded, and PFs are having field days with us, not to mention he doesn't get stupid fouls, can pass the ball and knows when a night isn't his night and stops shooting. Bad all around game

Slava stunk, Kobe didn't get the ball, and the D wasn't good at all. Kobe should have shot a 3 every time down in the final minutes! Even if he missed, we would've had a shot at winning or making the game close. Two losses to Houston, pathetic. The All-Star weekend better be good in LA to get my mind off this.
