Amateur: D'Antoni rips Kobe

[Koolaid_Man]

Kobe responds to his bad play and Kool is fine with it...

Kobe:"When ur game take a s*i* . Flush it. Get up and move on #mambaism"

we didn't lose because of Kobe we lost because we decided to simply leave Ariza open...we decided to leave a guy open who was hot and had an agenda...all we had to do was defend Ariza on at least 1 of his wide open shots and we win the game...that being said we simply played down to the level of our compe ion that explains everything

Right, you didn't lose because of Kobe. You lost because the Wizards kicked the out of you. Kobe is no more responsible for that than the last guy on the bench was. Mike D is why the Lakers lost. When your coach is too big a pussy to make needed adjustments, that's what you get. When your front office has given Kobe carte blanche to take a huge on the team for his own glory attempts, that's what you get. NY did it for a long time.
