"We didn't win the game, but I saw what I wanted to see," said Kobe Bryant, who acknowledged he "cursed [teammates] out" in a Saturday practice session. "If we play with this kind of effort, it's going to be hard for a team to beat us four times in a series."
Someone please wake me up for the play-offs...these weekly celebrations and championships by Laker haters are getting out of control...but I guess I understand... enjoy.
When asked about Barnes after the game, Bryant chuckled three times in a 10-second span before answering, "It's entertaining."
As reporters asked Ron Artest what he thought of Barnes, Lamar Odom yelled out from across the room, calling Barnes a "monkey" who "picked the right game to act tough."
Odom later called Barnes an "action figure" and compared him to pro wrestling legend Ric Flair, known for whipping up crowds with his antics.
They violated Matt Barnes lol, I'm kind of surprised though because most of the time players don't talk each other to the media, they just talk on the court. Guess they really don't like Barnes. it, I like this kinda anyway.
I saw what I wanted to see, the team that deserved to win winning.
Barnes did a good job on kobe today.. He also had a cheap shot on fisher. He did what he's supposed to do.
Lakers players said other interesting things post game:
http://nba.fanhouse.com/2010/03/07/g...s-recent-woes/Pau Gasol, who has averaged less than 14 points in the three losses, has a different take. He believes the defending NBA champions have been thrown out of sync because one guy again has become too dominant in the offense.
And guess who that guy would be?
"Kobe is a great player, the best offensive player out there ... but at the same time, we need to find some balance with our interior game, develop it a little more, moving the ball and changing sides,'' Gasol said gingerly, knowing he was treading on sacred territory by questioning Bryant and the offense of coach Phil Jackson. "We need to get focused on that a little more, to find balance, to find some flow.''
Except for the part of Kobe being the best offensive player out there, he's right.
Kobe was the best out there. Koolaid_Man is right. 34 points. His supporting cast sucked, that's why the Lakers lost.
They sucked because he was hogging the ing ball. I'm glad he saw what he wanted cause I did too which was a loss...LA ain't doing this year.
Again, when LeBron takes over and actually gets his team involved in the process, he's a ballhog.
When Kobe decides to go into chucker mode, it's because his teammates aren't getting the job done.
Funny how Kome gobblers bring up the 34 points he scored, but not the 30 shots he took to get there...
Kobe had 7 assists despite Fisher, Artest, Bynum, and Farmar going 7-for-31 from the field. Kobe haters love to hate. Kobe didn't play great, especially in the third quarter. But people are so blinded by Kobe hate to acknowledge it's not always Kobe's fault. Even when Kobe's teammates play horribly, it's still Kobe's fault. When Kobe has a bad game, Kobe haters pile on. When Kobe has a decent game, Kobe haters hate. When Kobe has a great game, Kobe haters will find a way to bash on him. Kobe didn't play all that great but in the fourth quarter, he carried the Lakers and put them in a position to win the game. His teammates were once again playing poorly on offense and it wasn't because he was hogging the ball.
How do you "chuckle" 3Xs in 10 seconds?
Is that like a Beavis n Butthead ramble?
You are making crap up. Badly.
Fake Cryant laugh at that.
Gasol was 8-13 for 20 points and Bynum could have done better but only attempted 5 shots, hard to get in a rhythm when you only touch the ball once every 5-10 mins.
Hahaha great line. Just gained some respect for Odom."picked the right game to act tough."
Actually from the 4 minute mark till the end, Kome was 3-9.
For the qtr he was 7-15. Not bad, but he hardly "carried the Lakers and put them in a position to win." It was so obvious he was trying to upstage Matt Barnes.
So why didn't he get the ball to Gasol in the 1st 3 qtrs?
out of gasols 8-13, how many were from putback from offensive rebounds and how many were actually from his 1v1 post moves? Please come back with an answer.
In regards with Bynum, its hard to get in rhythm when you have foul problems and have to sit every 5 minutes.
Why dont you actually watch the game instead of looking at the box score and making up.
This isn't just about this game you dumb , I'm talking about all season...it's been the same ing case. Try again.
Kobe had more assists in the game than any other player. Gasol was the only other player to shoot a decent %. Bynum only played 20 or so mins due to foul troubles. Had you seen the game you would have noticed Kobe playing facilitator throughout. But haters hate regardless of reality.
You guys make more posts about Kobe and the Lakers than all the Laker fans combined. Keep obsessing over our team. We love it!!!!![]()
Hey IDIOT. Look at your ing post. Are those numbers you listed from the GAME or from the ing SEASON? Yah, . STFU.
in the last four mins, Fisher, Gasol, and Odom touched the ball 13 times between them respectively. Maybe they should do something with it instead if dishing it when the slightest of coverage converges on them.
Ouuuuch!!!
...and "idiot" is a step up for Double.![]()
No matter what you say we know Gasol should have gotten more touches.
Like calling your ma a is a step up for her.![]()
