It was credited to Tmac.

27 FTs for Kobester as Houston leads by 10 most of the 2nd half.
How many deserved?

Kobe embarrassed himself last night.

He was unbelievable selfish and pouty.

He shot a litany of prayers that had no chance instead of passing to an open teammate.

There was one series where he had two consecutive 2 on 1 fast break opportunities, and rather than making the extra pass, he barrelled into a defender and was awarded free throws.

He missed two of four.

God, I hope that headcase is never on the Suns.

I also liked Magic bashing Kobe during the halftime show...man this drama has run its course with me....I'm done.

Magic was hot, wasn't he? I was surprised to hear him talk like that. If kobe's going to act like a , ship his ass out of here!

Like I said before, blackhole Kobe won't win you any games, unless it is in spurts...not 75% of the game....and the FT's were mostly awarded correctly, probably could have got a lot more considering he just flew himself into the paint with little regard to pass or for his body. Obviously proving a point is one thing, but balance is another. Yes, his hand hurt, then why chuck up 30+ shots when your shot is off. This could have been a 60+ game if kobe's shot was on and a victory. But when it's off, share the ing ball.......I blame Phil. Still, I don't believe we could of beat the Rox anyways.

I agree. It was nice to hear Magic call him out. It's about time if you ask me. I wonder what Kobe thought about that, being that Magic said pretty much exactly what this so called Laker "insider" said to start this whole mess.

Deng, Thomas, Sefolosha, and a resigned PJ Brown would make me a happy camper.

Actually taking into account his FG Att. (32), with his FT's (27), however many times he lost the ball and Lakers kept possession, and turnovers (5), I'd say he shot or dominated the possession somewhere around 55 times. It's nice putting up 45, but not at the expense of a win and foregoing passing the ball to your teammates. If he's trying to prove a point, you better end up with a W.
