Kobe was just on an off shooting night. It happens to everyone. Yet, he took good shots, shots he knew he was able to hit! You guys should stop hating on the mamba because there’s no offense without him. He bails the Lakers out on every single night!

Blame Dwight on how he played offensively. The guy throws up so many airballs in the post, it makes me cry every game i watch! Bynum was way more dominant than D12 in post ups.

You’re right. He also should have been finals MVP in 2010, but gets lost in the “hoop”la.

Lakers got the W. That’s all that matters. People from non-championship cities need to stop watching laker games through a magnifying glass.

Not a mention on MWP on this article?? He was freakin’ fantastic in that game. And has been for the most part all year long. This is the best MWP/Artest we have had since he started sporting a Purple and Gold jersey a few years back.

I must say, I’m well known as a non-Laker fan and I will go so far as to say that was their most impressive and most important win this season. One small caveat however, Nash played 41 minutes and played very well I might add. That many minutes per game in unsustainable period.

Like I posted previously and I will post again. I got a pair of tickets behind the bench at Staples center & would love nothing more than a Clippers vs Laker Playoffs. It would be even better if it was in the second round. Lakers will have to win 65% of their remaining games to have a shot at a 8 seed. As much as I’d like to see that across the hall playoffs I just don’t see how they can do it. I hope they prove me wrong. The vast majority of the remaining games are on the road and against quality teams. We shall see.

You are BELOW .500 with the HIGHEST payroll in basketball! Win one game after Nash comes back and suddenly you think everything is going to be fine? You’re season is already over, you’re just grasping at straws.

Magicbucs, you should change your name to match your “star” player, BIG BABY cause that what you sound like on this board everytime you post. Get over DH he don’t love you no more, maybe you should focus on the other part of your name, I know I for one enjoyed watching freeman turn the ball over 5x against the “wor.st” defense in the NFL…. God it must suck to be you!!!

Enjoy this squeezed out win laker fans. You barely beat a young but good warrior team. You needed OT and a lot of mistakes from GS.

Just remember you’re still in 11th place in the west and a under .500. Oh and only 1 win better than the no superstar orlando magic..
Good luck playing against the experienced teams.

Bottom line: Lakers win. Hi Haters!

With his ego I doubt he’d see the same thing we see. I’ve been a Lakers fan for over 40 years and I can’t recall another player that just doesn’t seem to get the simple fact that you can’t win any games by yourself.

Giving up 115 points is a recipe for disaster down the road. Bryant needs to realize that jacking up more than 40 shots, while making anywhere less than half of them, just allows the other team to get out in transition. It exhausts the defense and leads to yet more Bryant shots, a classic negative-feedback loop.

I thought Bryant was a smarter player than that, but unless D’Antoni grows a spine and insists that Bryant start acting like a team player I can’t see the Lakers going anywhere.

let me try to post this again…since it magically didnt show up the 1st time…no mention of kobe’s 34 points 10 rebounds and 5 assts…because it dont go well with the article’s hate kobe theme

Big fan of Kobe but this game was hard to watch.

Curious what his response would be if he was forced to watch the film and realize how bad it looked.

For those not keeping track of such things:
Last season Bryant was leading the league in scoring at a .430 clip up until the last week when Durant passed him and finished the season shooting .521.

Hey gang:
LA may very well be in eleventh place in the West, but they just beat the current fifth place holder… on the road, no less. Once they get used to playing together, they’re gonna be the greatest team in the history of sports!!

Alright sportsfans:
Guess who is on-track to have the lowest FG% in leading the league in scoring since the players wore coke-bottle glasses and had to take bathroom timeouts?

That game was a gun fight, and Kobe wasn’t sparing any bullets. I was fine with it. Nash creates a LOT of looks for Kobe, so get used to him taking 30 shots a game and shooting below 40%.

i wonder how many ppl were just hoping the lakers would still lose with nash returning.
i bet they had all the hater-posts ready to aim and fire on this board. they are soo mad the lakers pulled this one out. i can onlyimagine the type of nonsense they would have written. o man. they are upsettt lakers on this one lol. o well, all they have now to work with is kobe’s 41 attempts. haha. have fun with that guys…LA WON.

Despite the horrible coaching job that forced Kobe to shoot 41 times the Laker players managed to overcome Dumbtoni’s idiocy and win. A total lack of defense is the hallmark of Dumbtoni’s worthless coaching. The Warriors collapsed into a loss, otherwise the Lakers would have lost. Something has to be done to ensure Howard isn’t fouling so much, once again poor coaching forced Dwight to ride the pine for too long.

Poor coaching also forced Kobe to play over 40 minutes yet again. When will dimwitted pundits realize that it’s the pathetic coaching of Dumbtoni that is the Laker’s worst problem, that and an ancient point guard who can’t play a lick of defense. What’s needed is more passing between Dwight and Pau, Pau is a devastatingly great passer as a big man and the idiot coach Dumbtoni needs to get clued in to that fact.

Go Kobe!!! Fire Dumbtoni!!! We Want Phil!!!

Irrespective of the layers (Jeanie, Baby Buss, Kupchak, etc) Daddy Buss is ultimately in charge and he gave his proxy long time ago…keep it 100 baby, you know what it is.
