I'm not sure who to root for.
I try never to root for the Lakers, but it would sure help the Suns out if the Jazz started losing again...
I kind of dont have a good feeling about this game... The jazz's history of back to back's...plus last night being a late game in L.A..... why not just stay there and play in the staples center?? freakin ridiculous!
Yeah, but the Lakers have notoriously had their struggles in the Land of the Mormons over the years, so its not a done deal by any measure. I still hope Kobe sits this one out and gets even more rest, but something tells me hes is going to try and give it a go. Let's hope he stops being stubborn and let the others pick up for his absence. Also, I hope he is noticing how balanced the Lakers have been when he hasn't been in there.
If Kobe doesnt play he cant play in the all-star game correct?
I'm not sure...it is Kobe and I don't know if the league will mandate that he plays regardless of what he's done leading up to the ASG. If he missed this game and the ASG--I'd be cool with it.
Heard on the radio that based on todays shoot around in Utah..Phil believes Kobe won't play tonight.
Good news
Dammit!! I want kobe's ass on the court!!
they are actually forcing him to go to festivities even if he doesnt play. see roy. ill be there to support ma boi
It would be really sweet to get a win in Utah without Kobe and Bynum.
Will take a whole new level of effort on Defense by Pau, Lamar and Ron though.
If Lakers win without Kobe tonight...25 bucks says we see a "Trade Kobe Part 2" thread startd by IM.
Gonna be a tough game since Utah never had anyone that could guard Kobe..If they play really hard & Pau has a game like Monday, then they might be able to get a win. Hopefully Utah is just as tired & Deron doesnt go for 35+ pts haha
Kobe has gone from "Questionable" to "not expected to play" per Phillip.
edit: I just heard it but I guess it's the same report Banzai heard
Thats good news, Lakers play better without Kobe....
Most people would look at it in black and white like you do but it's not that simple. The Lakers seemingly playing balanced is simply a reflection on Phil understanding that his players are standing around watching Kobe and / or expecting him to make miraculous plays. Now that he's not there they have no one to rely on but themselves...sort of like parents kicking the kid out of the house after adulthood to make them self-sufficient. This is a CLASSIC TALE OF FAILURE TO LAUNCH because of being spoon fed.
Now when 81 comes back these mutha ers should be kicking ass and taking names. Kobe sitting out was the biggest mind over matter blessing in disguise ever for his teammates. Beleive that.
Mother ing Lakers are owning right now. Wow, the ball movement is exquisite, the defense is superb and the hustle is phenomenal. Hard to imagine this is the same team that's been struggling on the road. They look rebirth and alive.
Jordan Farmar is outstanding, Odom is dazzling, Gasol's game is hair raising and Vujacic is taking names.
Kome Brian should realize this and stick to the game plan.
go lakers!
This just says a few things that were already known..
-The Lakers are incredibly stacked..
-Bynum has very little defensive impact..
-Kobe often hurts the Lakers..
-Teams haven't game-planned enough for the Lakers w/o Kobe..
-Lakers get a ton of calls..
somebody go start a lakers are better without kobe thread.
Must hurt you seeing this.
Haven't had a chance to watch any of the game since Hornets were playing, but Gasol putting up strong numbers. Nice to see him leading this team without Kobe and Bynum. He's totally changed the Lakers since his arrival. Lakers are indeed stacked.
What a joke.
Jazz. Lakers aren't even that good with Bynum and Kobe, so how the heck do you lose to them without both ?
