Dear Kobe,

Stop. I got this.

Mr. Kardashian

[Giuseppe]

im suprised lakers are only winning by 5 points

That ain't the only surprise you've had this evening, eh?

tee, hee.

[DeadlyDynasty]

Kevin Love is a stud...this is only his 2nd season (maybe 3rd?) and he's putting up good #'s pretty much every night. He might just be another best player on bad team (Al-Jeff, Bosh), but he's a pretty tough cat

[jestersmash]

I always get a chuckle watching Kobe get Kobe calls. That's going to bail him out for many years to come even as his skill diminishes.

[HarlemHeat37]

I don't think Love is going to be like those guys, tbh..he gives a full effort and bangs on the boards every night, guys like Jefferson/Bosh/Amare are soft players that need to be babied..he plays a game that can translate to winning basketball, he would be a good 3rd best player on a contender IMO..

[Albatros]

wHEN gASOL IS NOT DOMINANT THE lAKERS ARE JUST ANOTHER nba TEAM.

[jestersmash]

See that last one was probably actually a foul and kobe should've gone to the line. Refs don't give him that one, but they'll call a foul on the defense when kobe just knocks someone over.

[DeadlyDynasty]

Despite the piss-poor effort they can still salvage a taco-victory

[HarlemHeat37]

27 turnovers?..god damn..

Is Beasley the stupidest player in the NBA?..

[Venti Quattro]

Despite the piss-poor effort they can still salvage a taco-victory

They can't even pretend that they're trying

[LkrFan]

In other news...Lakers win. :wakeup

[DeadlyDynasty]

They can't even pretend that they're trying

For real...How else do you explain the Blazers game betwixt 2 shitty opponents. Same old LAL, nothing to see here

[The Gemini Method]

Lousy game by the team...The 27 turnovers, like the Raptors game, makes this game uglier than it should've been. And Kevin Love playing beast...

[jestersmash]

Loving the insecurity in this thread.

Blowout good team = both teams were trying!
Win by a hair against shitty team = We were just sandbagging

Never change, LAfan

[DeadlyDynasty]

Kobe couldn't even give the gift of tacos tonight...very disappointing

Then how do you explain blowing out a 5-2 Blazers team by 25 while having nailbiters against Toronto and Minny? Seriously, I would love to hear your theories

[TheKingOfMIA6]

That ain't the only surprise you've had this evening, eh?

tee, hee.
nope its the only suprise

[ace3g]

if Wolves weren't stupid and decide to dribble into 2 Lakers players in the 4th; especially when driving in the paint (Lakes always get a ton of reach in (fouls) steals) which probably gave up around 6 or 7 TOs in the 4th quarter, the Wolves probably could have won this game

[IronMexican]

Then how do you explain blowing out a 5-2 Blazers team by 25 while having nailbiters against Toronto and Minny? Seriously, I would love to hear your theories

If you don't agree that Toronto and Minnesota are better than Portland, you're just some retarded Laker homer like every other idiot on this site. Fucking retard, you.

[Giuseppe]

And if Manu hadn't a broken his nose you probably wouldn't a got skunked.

Oh, well, saylarvee.

[The Gemini Method]

Cobbler got into foul trouble early on. Really hurt us on the defensive glass. I kid...

[ace3g]

nope Spurs lost to the Suns because they didn't have 3 point shooters (which we have this year) + Splitter

Sure, here's my hypothesis. It's called, sometimes great teams have off nights.

To suggest that "sandbagging" is a more plausible cause than the Lakers simply having an off night is nothing short of laughable.

But keep having your little sarcastic circle jerk with IronMexican. It's funny for the rest of us and serves to emphasize just how amateurish your understanding of the game is.

[SomeCallMeTim]

Tonight was a carbon copy replay of the first Minny @ LA game last year. Exact same thing. Minny hung around the whole night last year too and LA won by a couple buckets. Totally unsatisfying win.

I would describe tonight as the Lakers trying to find "what is the absolute minimum effort we can put in against this team and still win?"

I'd say they pretty much found out.

Good thing Minny sucks so bad (27 turnovers??) because any team with a modicum of cohesion would've stolen that game. LAL played lazy, unprofessional ball tonight.

Oh, and hey, like I've been saying for the last year, Kevin Love can play on my team any day. I'd say the most underrated player in the NBA right now.

[Giuseppe]

You can't do better than win.

[eyeh8u]

If you seriously don't see how bad teams treat each Laker game like the NBA finals, while LA seems disinterested on those same nights, then I seriously question your understanding of the game. Yes, there are bad nights, but when you get out-rebounded by a wide margin (as they were in both games) while committing stupid fouls (LO and Ron-Ron tonight), that's not simply an "off-night." That's laziness and a lack of focus. Is it really that hard for you to understand? If I'm wrong then by all means, enlighten us oh wise one...

[j.dizzle]

LOL if this team keeps playing like they do in the playoffs I can give a rats ass how hard they try in most of their games. LOL I think the timberwolve superstar players grabbed like 25-30 offensive boards. That my friends is what you call " fuck it, we'll still most likely win if we dont play half as hard as our opponent" attitude hahaa oh well a W is a W.

[21_Blessings]

What's funny is the Lakers are still in sleepwalk mode. Usually they ramp it up to coast mode sometime in December.

Other teams treating regular season games like NBA finals games has absolutely nothing to do with the argument at hand.

Laziness and lack of focus are actual flaws. Sandbagging is when one purposefully plays down to the opponent. San Antonio purposefully keeping Ginobili, Parker, and Duncan out against Denver a couple of seasons ago - that's sandbagging.

Having your stars out-rebounded and out-hustled is not sandbagging. Having Kobe go 12-28 is not sandbagging. He's not purposefully missing shots just to keep the game close.

I don't know how else to say it. If you can't discern the difference between the two with that example, then I'm done.

Your argument literally is "L.A. got outrebounded and we committed 'stupid' (by your perception) fouls, therefore L.A. sandbagged." That train of thought is not logical.

It's just as ludicrous as saying "Kobe shot 12-28 therefore L.A. was actively trying to not play at their optimal level (i.e. the definition of sandbagging)," which is why I brought that statistic up.

Then I guess you're finished. Bye now. Did you see me bring up Kobe's Shooting %'s in the argument? Offensive production is more a product of your ill-conceived argument (on-or-off night). Defense and Rebounding are all about hustle and effort. If you don't come with maximal (or even optimum) effort then I hate to break it to you--that's playing down to the opponent (you brought up the word sandbagging, not me). If you are trying to split hairs with this shallow argument, then yeah...I guess we're done.

When you posit an argument that makes sense, I'll be right there to offer a rebuttal worthy of it. Right now you're just coming off as a butthurt Laker-hater. Here's your argument: "The Raptors and T-Wolves (a combined 2-12) out-rebounded LAL by a combined 30 rebounds, but LAL mysteriously out-played and out rebounded a 5-2 team by 24 boards. Sure, the good game was sandwiched in between, but i'm positive LAL gave maximum effort and just had off-nights."

Yup, very plausible, convincing argument. :rolleyes
