		<description><![CDATA[This may come as news to Laker fans (and their equivalents in other sports, such as the Yankees), but in order to make a trade, you have to find someone willing to trade with you.  The rest of the league does NOT serve as your willing farm team; well, they don&#039;t unless David Stern orders it, anyway.

Nash is aging, ailing, and unwilling or unable to play even a semblance of defense, and Gasol is aging, declining, unwilling or unable to play defense, and has a huge contract.

Yeah, the league is lining up to trade for those guys.  In your dreams.]]></description>

Where do you Laker fans get these fantasies?  Are you like Yankee fans, thinking every other team is your willing farm team?

If I&#039;m the GM of another team and the Lakers call, I tell them, &quot;Call me when you want to be reasonable, or you can go simmer in your own juices.&quot;]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[How you get the ball to him is by throwing a simple entry pass...over the top !!!

The guys &quot;swarming around him the entire game&quot; were only 6&#039;8&quot; and / or can&#039;t jump (Battier, Haslem, Anthony, Lebron etc. etc. etc. )

And Bosh is a 150 pound limp noodle. 

Howard still can probably touch his elbow on the rim. Any guard with &quot;FUNDAMENTALS&quot; can make that pass over a bunch of midgets, in their sleep. 

If jack-up-artist/ Fake MJ/ Harlem Globetrotter would have ever learned how to throw an entry pass, Howard and Gasol would / should have dominated !

This idea is basketball 101. For Fake MJ and Faker fans to not understand basic entry passes and taking advantage of a twin tower duo vs one of the smallest teams in the league, confirms the lack of comprehension and understanding &quot;FUNDAMENTAL&quot; ball.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Kobe is correct that he needs help.  First of all he needs coaching help, Dumbtoni hasn&#039;t provided any since he came to destroy the Lakers.  Dumbtoni trying to play Kobe at small forward is the dumbest idea ever.  Dumbtoni&#039;s total lack of defensive coaching ability is why the Lakers look like garbage on defense.  Dumbtoni&#039;s trying to force a big ball team like the Lakers to play small ball also proves how clueless Dumbtoni is.

Kobe also needs help at point guard, especially on defense.  Ancient Nash is a liability to the Laker&#039;s defense because he never bothers to play defense, never did his whole career and now he&#039;s too old and slow to ever play good defense.  Kobe should not have been guarding Wade the whole night, that is what a young point guard should be doing.

If the Lakers want to win games they need to fire Dumbtoni and trade away Ancient Nash for a great young point guard, like Kyrie Irving.  That is the only way the Lakers can play and win as a team.  The other thing the Lakers need is for Daddy Jerry Buss to wake up and fire his worthless spoiled brat, Jerky Boy Jimmy.  Give the reins of the team to Phil and Jeanie as a wedding present, I know they would turn the Lakers around back into champions.

Go Kobe!!!  Fire Dumbtoni!!!  Trade Away Ancient Nash!!!  Fire the little idiot buss boy!!!  We Want Phil and Jeanie!!!]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[LOCKER ROOM CANCER !!!!

He deserves to continuously be exposed as the FRAUD he is....wanna-be-like-Mike/ Harlem Globetrotter!

He has been a LOCKER ROOM CANCER on EVERY laker squad they have rolled on the floor. 

Phil Jackson only coached him because he was/  is in the cookie jar getting snacks from the Buss family. But the coach with the most chips in the history of the league said he is &quot; UN-COACHABLE&quot;. 

Also...countless Hall Of Famers that have played with him and shared a locker room with him, have said he is the WORST teammate in any locker room.

This is a prime example. Throwing your teammates and the coach under the bus publicly....they know how to read, they have friends and family and testosterone....how do you think that will go over. 

This is why D12, NEVER wanted to go to la.....LBJ    OWNED the Staples center last night !

So, Fake MJ has to deflect the attention and make excuses as to why he was so severely outplayed !

Bottom Line]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[next time you should try watching the game.  Kobe does pass the ball and last night he was making the right play.  He was put in bad situations with no time left on the shot clock so he had to bail the offense out. nash deserves the blame because kobe doesn&#039;t want to take those bail out shots, he knows it&#039;s not good for the offense.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Kobe is right though, he needed more help on offense. I think a lot of the blame can be put on nash because he was letting the pressure get to him and they weren’t getting into their offense early enough. This led to a lot of shot clock bail out shots by kobe. They need to be more patient and howard needs to demand the ball in the post. He doesn’t fight for good enough position and he needs to make it easier for guys to make the entry pass.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I think what would really help is if the lakers can find a way to get devin ebanks more minutes. Yes he’s limited offensively but he’s potentially their best perimeter defender. They could really use his length and athleticism to guard quicker guys on the outside. If only he can develop his jumpshot, but I really think that will ease the pressure off of kobe. Also, another guy suggested that earl clark plays more small forward and I like that idea because he’s a good defender and he has the length to make it hard for guys on the outside.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[get the ball to howard? how? the Heat players were swarming around him the entire game! they did not let DH get going...by hacking him on easy shots (smart move considering he is horrible at the stripe). not as easy as said.

kobe was missing wide open shots the first 3 quarters. hey, nights like that happen. he can&#039;t  blame or get mad at the bench, i thought they did great. 

Look...the Lakers played good. they just got killed the last 2 minutes when Lebron decided to be...well...Lebron. 

I&#039;m sure all the Laker critics knew this already because they love to watch games of team they hate (rolls eyes...)]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Way too many turnovers last night. Howard was pathetic at the line. Unbelievable that you can&#039;t force-feed Howard or Gasol vs a very small and thin front line of Miami. Nash has a bazillion turnovers, very surprising. Nash should be shooting much more than he his. Kobe was missing way too much shots.

All in all, horrible game played by the Lakers, and it&#039;s beyond surprising that it was even a close game.]]></description>
