Let's focus on tonight though fellow Lakers! We're 1 for 2 I believe this season against Sac. after the OT loss last month. Bibby had 40 points in this game...but in our preseason W against the Kings he had 20. Gotta stop Bibby! That guy is one hell of a ball player though...you gotta give it to him.

You all can keep on complaining but if the rest of the team can't deliver in the regular season then how do you expect them to in the playoffs? A little more pressure.
Should have let Kobe go, he is not a team player and I don't think he ever will be. Great player but needs an attitude adjustment. You know it is bad when the Clippers may end up ahead of them.

Maybe you got the wrong idea, I am not a Mavericks fan. I could care less other than the Lakers losing. I am just not a fan of Kobe. He cannot carry his team in the playoffs. Anyways the first playoff series is a five game series if I am not mistaken. So, they only need to stop Kobe twice.

yea... well kobe is a good clutch player, but MJ and Kobe is different... I actually loved watching MJ play... dont you agree? MJ was fantastic.... He even had a good squad to back him up... Scottie, Steve Kerr, Kukoc, Rodman, and that center... damn forgot... But what i think Phil chose to coach the Lakers is to make another dreamteam as he did with the Bulls... Everyone has potential in the Lakers, but Kobe doesnt give them a try... There not use to the fact that Kobe dont pass? but if Kobe gives more oppurtunities to his teammates so they can adapt to the gameplay, i think Lakers will be unstoppable... They just dont get the chance to learn faster, how it feels like to play in the NBA.... and also AI is also a good clutch player... =)

Kobe can't take the Lakers to any Finals by himself and he's definitely not the type to make others on his team better. You don't score 80 pts by passing. Aside from Scottie, MJ did not have a cast of superstars but he made them better anyhow.
Never been a fan of Kobe and unless he chances his attitude, Lakers won't be in contention for a while.

At times I agree he does need to dish the ball. Sometimes off pick n rolls with Kwame, Kobe never passes him the ball even if hes open.
But with Kobe, if he passes the ball to much, people question why he doesnt shoot. When he shoots the ball they question why he doesnt pass.
Like kobes commercial, YOU EITHER HATE HIM OR LOVE HIM
