In the last 4 minutes of the game the Lakers shot selection was:

- Kobe went for 3-9.

- the rest of the team shot 3-4.

He lost this game for the Lakers with his awful shot-selection (that triple with 1:30 to go was pathetic) and yet Lakers fan will think he was clutch and gave them a chance to win the game.

I think people should really start doing some basic arithmetic before talking about Kobe's clutchness. Every guy who takes so many shots in crunch time will hit a few of them and be labelled clutch.

Kobe is the reason we were even in the game, it wasnt Kobe's fault, did u watch the game?

Who else was making plays when they got the ball?

See what I mean?

Lakers at this point of the season are looking quite vulnerable. They haven't played consistent good basketball in some time now. They are waiting until late in the 4th to make their big runs. That has caught up to them. Orlando is the 2nd best team in the east but they aren't any better than that.

[badfish22]

Right behind them? They're 3 games back, and so are the Nuggets.

Wow.... follow basketball

They got the ball? They?

He was also the the reason the Lakers lost the game with his horrid shot selection. He can only bail himself out so many times, as evidenced tonight.


Barnesy splashing the 3 in his face after Kobe's attempted hero shot was the best.

See what I mean?

What did the rest of the Lakers do throughout the game to make you think they should have had the ball at the end?

[IronMexican]

Turnovers are the only reason LA was in the game. Not Kobe. He did play pretty good though.

[boston.balla]

See what I mean?

lol

[bostonguy]

The Lakers road to repeating is going to be brutal. Everyone is gunning for them and a few teams (Cavs,Mavs) have made moves to help them match up with them now.

[picc84]

When did they get the ball?

Kobe didnt have the ball the entire game. Who else was playing good today and should have had the ball at the end?

And that's not right behind?

Meh, they shouldn't have had the ball for the last shot to tie it or anything. I'll give you that.

But maybe they should have touched it once in the previous 8 possessions that Kobe shot it. Just sayin'.

Pau was 8/13 shooting. Give him the ball because he's supposedly a dominant big.

[RedsLakers24]

Everyone was saying it was kobes fault, but Gasol wasnt doing , no one was, kobe had to take over in the 4th

he was turing the ball over all the time when he was being double team

LOL. Maybe he should try to get his team involved instead of jacking up shots with his eyes closed.

How many of those points did he create on his own, as opposed to being spoonfed at the rim?

I'll wait.

He wasn't given the ball to operate by himself because every time we did that tonight, we came up with nothing.

[bostonguy]

It seems like Gasol is being consistent in the version of the 2008 Finals. Odd how he just reverted back to that form after how he played last season.

Holy Ive never seen teams play harder then they do vs the Lakers..Everyone & their mothers has the games vs LA circled on their calendars. Thats a big con to being defending champs in the regular season but the playoffs will be fun to watch..I hope this makes pussy ass bandwagoners jump off.
