CROFL implosion
"We get behind early on in the third quarter on some stupid plays -- poor passing, poor transition defense -- and then Kobe has to screw up the game and start energizing the team by going one-on-one and that takes the rest of the guys out as a consequence," Jackson said. "That didn't bring us back in, but it did give us a little run, we got the game back a little bit but we couldn't sustain it and we just went right back and made the same mistakes again.""The game got to a point where we didn't use our strengths which is our inside players," Jackson said. "When we started off the game I think Pau got six out of our eight points and didn't score again in the first half. He ended up the game with 10. He got four more points in the second half. He's too good a player for a game like that."

..."and our weakness is kobe"![]()
then Kobe has to screw up the game .ROFLMAO.
Maybe he should start trying to coach his star instead of calling him out after the game has ended for not doing what he wants him to do. This better get resolved or Kobe is going to pull the Trade Me card if their loss column continues to grow.
IIRC, Phil also said something about If he was out there playing he would not pass the ball to Kobe. I think that was after the loss to the Spurs.
Man, this team is imploding.
Zing
I like how Phil doesn't really care anymore considering the fact that this is his last year. I would lile to see him write a new book about this season once he's done.
He just needs to make sure he doesn't have to come back again beggin' Kobe for a job.
tee, hee.
You can be sur that Kobe will go for a 4 FGAs next game to make a statement waiting for a loss
There's always room as Pop's asst coach.
tee, hee
yall need to hear what he said ... not just read it. He was just explaining why they lost ...and he was right. Kobe went in to hero mode and got them back in the game but the team had no one else in rhtymn ... It was not a lash out ...he was just stating facts.
I doubt that but he will not be agressive on offense ...
Wasn't this identified as a problem long ago though? This isn't necessarily a new ailment, that's why hearing about it again and again simply comes across as a lash out. I mean, when Kome did it against the Spurs Phil just gave a mild "we missed some shots". This time he's not toning it down.
This is the way I read it. I will say that I felt like there were some parts where he was being mildly critical of Kobe's efforts, but not the "lash out" that others are making it out to be.
The thing is I dont disagree that Kobe is attacking the issue wrong, but he is just trying to right a shrinking ship with what he does best which is scoring. I would love it if he took on an Team USA mindset and played defense like he is capable of on a MORE consistent basis. he played damn good defense on wade on XMAS but most nights he does the lazyy double and gambles without getting back to his man.
As for Phil ...having fisher and artest along with two 7 footers makes us the slowest team (starters) in the NBA ...one of them may need to sit (i say artest) to balance the line-up better. plus ron would get more touches on the bench ...
Ya wonder if he'll go the full Monty and expose the rigged reffing, collusion trades and all.
Meh

" But ultimately, the Lakers would come together and face the adversity "
Lol whatever. Kobe doesn't even give a when Phil criticized him. That's Kobe's problem. Phil even said as much in his book. It was Shaq who was sensitive to criticism. Kobe treats it as a challenge and basically says " you anyway." Kobe isn't changing . Problem is that it's becoming more and more abundantly clear that the Lakers can't simply out-talent their way back to the top. So Kobe does need to really figure things out this season. Looking less and less likely to happen. But I'm not convinced it's an impossible task just yet.
am sure now kobe will not take shots till the 2nd quarter in the next game.....
Well, pish, posh. Your pussy ass is thus completely covered.
Maybe he'll get nostalgic next game and not take any shots in the second half at all.
Ya asshole, you.
You guys don't know . Getting skull ed on a nightly basis is what teams who want to three peat do.
Oh man, Culburn is back. Hi there old man.
