He was pointing the finger at Gasol and in doing so detered attention from himself and his poor shooting at the end.
By talking about Gasol and how he needed to shoot it instead of passing the ball, Bryant its baiting the media and us all into thinking it was all on Gasol and not his.
Sounds like a cop out to me.
if you say so
It's amazing how GNSF has the ability to decipher whether or not Kobe's statements have ulterior motives and if so what they are specifically. There's no way he was simply answering a follow up question asked AFTER he just said he needed to do better, he was baiting teh media!
I'm a gnsf
Must be wrong, at all cost.
Cobbler is some wicked sissy cuckold who putts from the rough
Must be wrong, at all cost.
Must be throwing his teammate under the bus! Not simply answering a question.
Kobe's forced to go into chuck mode because the Laker bigs have turned into cuckolds. Anyone who disagrees isn't actually watching the series.
As much as I've bashed Perkins and called him overrated, he's set up a tent inside Bynum's head. Pushing him way off the block and forcing him into weak shots whenever he does get it. And Gasol has turned into a more turnover prone Jordan Hill. At this point Hill is outplaying Gasol. Doing the exact same thing Pau is doing minus the turnovers.
LOL @ Magic right now. "I like Mike Brown, but" and then he basically calls Brown a complete moron for not being able to get the ball to Bynum. Then he blames Brown for Cleveland losing to Orlando, and then to the Spurs.
Oh now I called Kobe classless?
Must be throwing his teammate under the bus! Not simply answering a question.
This its about him singling a teammate and basically pitting the blame solely on Gasol for the loss.
I didn't hear Kobe stepped up and say I messed up big time, I turned the ball over a bunch of time. Instead he goes the route of "I had to shoot the ball alot because this and that teammate didn't shoot it well"
What questions need answering? Article and what Kobe had to say about the loss speak for themselves.
hate to say it but white boy Goran is right. I don't think Kobe is trying to cop out, he was asked a question and he was just being honest. why lie? Pau is a pussy.
Sons Kobe Bryant's career is best summed up in two words .... smoke and mirrors.
Kobe has never truly earned anything in his NBA career and has been handed nearly everything on a silver platter. Most knowledgeable basketball fans have always been able to see past the smoke and mirrors that is the media's Kobe Bryant agenda, but many are just now starting to see thru it as he gets older and people realize just how overrated of a player he has always been.

Son, is it because Kobe demanded a trade from the hornets?
didn't read
Very well written King Kool. And you speaking the truth
There's a place for team leaders to challenge teammates to perform better: behind closed doors.
Calling out teammates in the media is de able.
I agree. As if Drew givin up double cheeseburgers and Big Macs weren't stressful enough..
This is pretty much clueless "analysis". MB and Pau both also stated it was a bad decision by Pau. MB had also criticized Pau's offensive aggressiveness in his post game comments before Kobe made any of his own comments along the same lines.According to my sources at ESPN, Kobe had a similar costly turnover at the end of Game 2 and instead of taking blame, he credited Durant on his athletic play, taking a gamble and making a great steal. Well, interestingly enough that's exactly the same thing Durant did on Pau's pass.
It was a bad read on Pau's part
Without Pau, the Lakers are fishing after the Denver series.
