This was before the game:

Mike Brown left the arena for personal reasons. Asst. coach John Kuester will coach the Lakers tonight.

How does a team with so many veterans have no ****ing clue how to finish a game?

20 turnovers against the Blazers, are you ****ing kidding me?

Re: NBA Game Discussion Thread Apr 9th - Apr 15th

This is ****ing pathetic. We were up by OVER TWENTY in the 3rd quarter. This team's best player is Jamal Crawford. Horrible. Horrible. Horrible. Thank goodness we're probably gonna end up coming away with this one. We'll probably get embarrassed by the Lakers on Sunday.

All dallas needs now is Brandon Roy to come out of the locker room lol

Thank you Brandan Wright.

I love Shawn Marion but he could've basically ended this game by just holding the ball instead of trying to do that stupid lob to Wright, was still a 7 point game and lots of time would've ticked off the clock. We miss Jason Kidd so much in these situations.

Nice win Lakers.

Big game from Barnes 24 & 10, Bynum with 30.

A win's a win and I'll take it but damn this shouldn't have been anywhere near as close as it ended up.

Barnestest have been playing well. Hope they don't waste their magic pre playoffs. Bynum with 8 rebounds is unacceptable. The 30 is nice though. Take a W without Kobe and tough loss for Denver. Playoffs are dangling still for the bottom three seeds.

So Delonte West played 44 minutes last night with a fractured finger and a gimpy ankle. Put up 21 points 7 assists, 6 rebounds and 3 steals. Love it.

Sat and talked and watched the first half of the Laker game with Craig Hodges at work last night..

He's a really down to Earth guy and can still shoot the hell out of the basketball. I've met him a few times before and is always just a mellow dude.

Interesting to say the least..

Ron Artest! The man has been reborn, Kobe try not to **** this up!

Like I, and many other Laker fans here have said, Kobe is an excellent facilitator...WHEN HE WANTS TO BE. If he approaches each game looking to use his talent to make things easier for his teammates and just picks his spots throughout the game, just taking what the defense gives him, the Lakers are SO much better.

When he does that, he makes his teammates so much better. When he doesnt, and he feels like he has to be THE man every play, I honestly feel like he makes his teammates worse when he's on the floor.

Not that Im saying the Lakers are better without Kobe playing. That would be asinine and akin to saying the Bulls are better without Rose. Just that the Lakers individually play better without Kobe. It doesnt have to be that way. Kobe just has to change his approach to games and trust his teammates. They've done plenty to warrant that trust given their play since he's been out.

Just saw the full Hornets highlights last night.

Eric Gordon has some moves, was going off last night. If he's healthy he's more then welcome to have his contract he wants.

Lakers usually always play great with out kobe, offense always flows better as well

Yeah. I caught some of the highlights. His handle is crazy.

I must admit, I dont recall watching a full game with him. So in my head, I've always had him relegated as merely a jump shooter.
