Lakers: Lakers record with/without Kobe Gravano..

[ElNono]

Looking at the Lakers schedule, its obvious why Kobe chose the Toronto game to come back despite not being ready.

What's "ready"? He looks as done as last season, tbh...

[HarlemHeat37]

1-4 now with Gravano, tbh..

Their offense looks hideous when he's on the floor, tbh..all they do is run post-up plays for Kobe, which slows the offense down to a crawl and makes them very easy to defend..

Lakers bench is much more dynamic, sadly..

At this point, they'll only be able to defeat offensively inept teams like Charlotte, Milwaukee, Chicago, Philly, etc, tbh..

[ElNono]

only 4 turnovers.... progress

You're not going to beat anyone giving up 48.1% shooting. That is somehow Kobe's fault?

yes. kobe's lazy defense and constant sagging/playing the passing lanes hurts his team more than he helps. sort of like gary neal for the spurs last year.

Lakers defense

Before Kobe: 102.8 opp ppg, 44.6%fg
With Kobe: 108.2 opp ppg, 48.1%fg

I feel for Kobe though. He used to turn dynasties to another championship contender.

Now he's turning marginal playoff teams to bottom-dwellers.

The net effect is the same, though.

I watched every minute Kobe's been on the court and his defense is not great, but he has not allowed his man to have big nights on him. If you think he has, tell me their stats where he got owned? Meanwhile, a player literally has his career high on Pau (Amir Johnson 42 points on 14-17 FG), and one of the Morris brother shot 10-13 against the Lakers.

kobe cant put a hand in anyones face so obv their percentage will be better

The Lakers were by no means good without Kobe, but so far they're downright ugly in the games he's played. Jordan Hill and Nick Young had brilliant games last night and Pau Gasol had a great first half and they still managed to get completely blown out. Kobe, Meeks, Williams, Kelly, Wes, and 2nd-half Pau were all terrible.

THis.
But i dont support a playoff run ...so thanks to the guys you mentioned ...

The Lakers are like 3rd or 4th from the bottom in the West. at this rate we will be in the lottery and that is what is best for the team in the long run ... pride be damned!

Lakers have a draft pick this year?

Lakers have a draft pick this year?

Yes. They traded their 2015 and 2017 picks.

Deuce Bigalow with the pointing out the Lakers defense got ty with Kobe's insertion goods

You do support the tank, but be honest, you didn't support LA paying Kobe that crazy money and were worried Kobe would ruin the tank. You have said this before. Kobe was supposed to help win now and instead he made LA worse and got paid.

Lakers should win tonight against an inept Grizzlies offense..going forward, they'll only be able to defeat poor offensive teams IMO, as I said a few days ago..

Fortunately, 5 of their next 9 are against horrible offensive teams..they should win those 5, as they'll probably get blown out in all 4 other games in between..

I see them going 2-7.

Kobe's doing a good tanking job for the Lakers imho. They ain't gonna make the playoffs this season anyway so maybe they can set their hope on the future. Their record may not be too bad compared to most eastern teams but they'll still have a legit chance to land a top10 pick for next year's draft knowing that playoffs teams are ineligible for draft lottery despite regular season records.

But wait... do the Lakers still have their 14' draft pick, I mean the first round one?
