Another game, another loss.

Another game, another loss.

I am loving every moment.

 

[TN-GAYTOR-HATER]

Go Celtics

 

[TennesseeFan07]

I am loving every moment.

Everyone in the Laker organization feels like Steve Nash will change the entire time. They're sadly mistaken.

It's incredible how important a good bench is.

This.

It takes a team. You gotta have about 7-9 quality players. This is why I don't put too much emphasis on rings when evaluating an individual player.

This team would be better off without Kobe

Yeah. Trade him to the Grizz!

What?

What?

This team would be better off without Kobe.

 

[Scotty's Flat Top]

Lakers aren't built to have Kobe chucking up 30+ shots a game. He is an abyss on offense. What is their record when he scores 30+ again?

He's having one of his most efficient seasons of his career.

 

[n_huffhines]

Yeah, Kobe is playing great. One of the best seasons of his career. He's just learning that 2 stars can't carry a team, let alone 1. It takes about 7-9 guys. Besides Bryant, Howard, Gasol, and Meeks, this team has no quality on the roster. They stink. Without Nash they are worse than the teams with Smush and Mihm...Kobe didn't have another superstar on that team, but there was a lot of decent talent to work with.

 

[TennesseeFan07]

Jamison is still a quality supporting player.

 

[Scotty's Flat Top]

Kobe is one of the best scorers of all time and actually a little above his career assist average this season but he doesn't seem to be a fit with all the personel on the roster. Something isn't meshing. The offense needs to be more complete and efficient and less one dimensional (Kobe). I really think that if Kobe went out for an extended amount of time the whole team would play better. JMO. Could be totally wrong.

 

[TennesseeFan07]

The offense is too old. Los Angeles didn't address the most glaring weakness from a season ago. They don't have any guards on the roster that are capable of stopping opposing point guards. Adding Steve Nash only hurt them in that category.

 

[n_huffhines]

Jamison is still a quality supporting player.

Disagree. He's been horrible for years.

 

[TennesseeFan07]

Disagree. He's been horrible for years.

He can stretch the defense more than the other interior players.

 

[n_huffhines]

He's shooting 31% from 3. He needs to stop shooting 3s. He'd be a much better player if he stuck around the basket.

This goes for every player.

 

[005]

Especially if you aren't good at shooting threes.

 

[n_huffhines]

This goes for every player.

Every player on the Lakers?

 

[TennesseeFan07]

Steve Nash will most likely play in tonight's game against Golden State.

 

[n_huffhines]

34 points on 41 attempts? Ouch, Kobe.

 

[Ned Ray McWorkher]

The Lakers will be fine.
