gasol has been practicing freebies with dwight too much now.



that kobe pass for past 3 possessions =

worst part is...if they Lakers start winning with Kobe playing like this, it will prove how selfish he was playing for half the season with all this talent around him. And instead of getting called out for that, he will get praise for "sacrificing" his game.

well, i don't think that will happen, truth is kobe is not only a ballhog by choice, but also by need, he is a terrible passer and that's one of the reasons he doesn't pass. you will see his tournover number grow heavily if he keeps it up..

[TIMMYtoZO]

fun game between 2 pretenders.

[Reck]

The Lakers would be losing by at least 10+ if Thunder played half decently.

Crazy how you missed 15 FTs against the best team in the league and be tied at the end of 3.

..? bryant can be a terrific passer, he has pretty good vision for what its worth

[Mugen]

I remember lakerfan proclaiming Kobe as their defensive stopper after those b2b games against CLE/MIL. probably think he's the best passer in the game now after these last 2 games.

I give it another game before Kobe goes back to being the chucker we all know and laugh at tbh. #countonkobe

[Thebesteva]

Dwight has very little O in that arsenal of his

[Jodelo]

Was this the first when someone heard 'Antoni say "defense"?

wanna bet? i bet with u that if bryant shoots less than 20 shots in back to back games, starting the next one, he will have at least 4 to per game..

[Reck]

Flukiest game from the Lakers this season by far.

[Jt.ONE]

That hook shot from Gasol was about half an inch away from being blocked

I don't disagree with you. I'm just saying Kobe never gets called it for being selfish. Earlier in the game van Gundy was going on and on about Howard was being selfish for wanting more touches when Kobe has been shooting 30 fg a game. Dude is just untouchable.

[Mugen]

we going for the regular season championship 3peat z.

TOs doesnt mean he's a crap passer, but okay.

[spursmartyr]

LOL, Breen jinxed the Tinman (Martin) at the FT Line

also, did Van Gundy just call Ibaka "Allah"?

[cheguevara]

thunder without Harden are just not the same. don't ware what idiot analysts say. THat team is gonna go down by west finals

[Spur_Fanatic]

I hope Lakers win. Not just for the 1st seed, but I want them in the 8th for sure now if they'll play the Thunder.

I guess a lot depends on Kobe actually playing well for the first time on his career.

[timvp]

Amazing what happens when Kobe plays within a team concept rather than mindlessly chucking. Thankfully it won't last, if history tells us anything.
