Kobe has arthritis in finger?

[djohn2oo8]

So, while all this discussion of the Thunder’s brilliant quickness and athleticism was taking place, a Lakers spokesman interrupted to announce Bryant has issues with…arthritis (http://topics.ocregister.com/topic/Arthritis).

The problem is in Bryant’s right index finger, but the timing and irony of the announcement was too good to be scripted. The Thunder is athletic; the Lakers are arthritic.What’s next for this team? Bed sores? Angina? If the Lakers emerge as NBA champions again will they forgo rings in favor of diamond-encrusted Miracle Ears?

More excuses.

The Lakers' deficiencies can be summed up as follows:

Over the Hill: Kobe Bryant, No longer great…Solid but no longer a superstar…(Wants to pass the ball but they just pass it back)…

Over the Hill: Derek Fisher.. Russell Westbrook is eating Derrick Fisher up. At times, it's like Fish is getting his shorts pulled down on the court..

Soft: Pau Gasol…Thinks he is a real Hollywood actor…

Scrubs: Josh Powell, Jordan Farmar, DJ Mbenga, (Could not make the Clippers 2nd team)…

Not Ready For Primetime: Andrew Bynum, Shannon Brown…

Lost & Generally Inept: Ron Artest, Shannon Brown, Lamar Odom..

Just pathetic: Sasha Vujajic…

Now there are moments of lucidity, but when all the deficiencies collide and the timing's just right, well, you lose to anyone…Thunder in 7!

Since I don't see them mentioned here I can only assume that you are counting Luke Walton and Adam Morrison as bright spots for this Lakers team.

I was not aware that Luke Walton and Adam Morrison were even still on the Lakers roster…:lol

[spurs_fan_in_exile]

I didn't either until I saw them in for garbage minutes in game 4.

God Kobe makes a lot of excuses. No one can legitimately beat him. lol

[NRHector]

Is this another excuse for him to leave the game early again to get treatment for his finger if they lose by 20 again?

[ambchang]

We all know the only person beating the Mamba is Mamba itself.

[silverblk mystix]

so the mamba stumbled and landed on the durantula--who promptly fucked him
