I don't even think D'Antoni has that big of an impact on the team. It's Kobe's team. Brown, D'Antoni... They don't seem to make much difference.

Everyone knew this before they fired Brown but it was because of the Princeton?

Kobe scored 40 points. The rest of the Lakers combined for 37 points. But Brown's firing was validated because of the offense?

This one is going to be fun to watch. Like suspense-thriller fun.

Like one, season long, entertaining drama.

Good times indeed.

Kobe has been absolutely killing me with his play. It's like he doesn't seem to understand that his hero ball and demanding the ball in the 4th is absolutely killing the team.

Felt he did the same thing in Memphis when they lost there. He gives up on the offense and doesn't allow other players to have an opportunity to make plays at the end.

And 10 turnovers? Come on this dude has got to be kidding me and most of them are because he's forcing things to happen and ends up losing the ball in the process. I don't think he's ever going to truly understand that there are 4 other players out there with him when things get tough lol

Hasn't Kobe been doing that...for like...ever now? lol

And you expect this man to change? As long as Kobe Bryant, at his current state, is in a Laker uniform, they will be a 2nd round team at best and that even might be stretching it, given they sit at 7-8.

Before the year, I thought they had a chance to make the Finals, if Kobe learned to dial it back and play within the offense CENTERED around Nash, Pau/Dwight. Seems like he can't grasp that concept and probably never will.

Which is funny because without a dominant big man, Kobe has never won a ship being "The Man".

Wow!! So Kobe has 10 turnovers on 28 shots... smh... That's pretty crazy. It's something I stress all the time about when his name is brought up vs any players in the league. Shot selecttion and passing the ball.

But like I said last night. What is the major difference between the Lakers than (Brown) and now. I know Nash isn't there yet. But hopefully he can get back soon. Because it looks bad.

Even though Pacers have been struggling. They look like they're just missing Danny Granger.

Anyone ready for Boston-Nets tonight? We have a few good games tonight!

You're not giving Kobe nearly enough credit. He understands exactly what he is doing.

Would love to get that statement road win tonight in Boston, since we don't have any this year.

Plus Rondo will be back this time so I this game could really go either way.

That's Kobe second game in 2012 with 10 turnovers.. geesh

That's also Kobe's second Triple Double with 10 turnovers. Both Offenses looked terrible. Overall a hard game to watch

This winning thing is still new to me, especially this early in the season so I'm still trying to adjust to it. I still have a little bit of 'New Jersey Nets' in me so even when they do good, a part of me still waits for them to fold and leave me disappointed, lol

Re: 11/26 - 12/2 Game Discussion Thread

My Bucks vs Knicks tonight. TBH I think we can win this game. Bucks just beat Bulls in a game they were down 27, but I expect Jennings to have a big game yonight. He always seems to kill the Knicks.

Yes, Brown's dismissal was validated. Is bigeast going to ask that everytime LA loses? Lmao

KoMe and his hero ball is digusting to watch. When he was moving the basketball after Brown left they were looking pretty good. People who say both offenses looked bad under Brown and Phony are really ignoring how KoMe has sabatoged everything. They've had several games without Brown where the offense has looked good.

Come on ex. You say it was validated and then you say Kobe played hero ball no matter who the coach was/is.

Let me guess. Brown didn't have the respect of the players but D'Antoni does?

Pau hates Pringles, Kobe breaks the offense and MWP gets more shots off than Dwight and Pau.

Ummm.....I think that's the point bro. KoMe didn't just start sabotaging Laker offenses and yet firing Brown cause of the Princeton is validated even though the same thing is happening afterwards?

I agree with this. People jumped the gun on the firing being validated. at this point they look exactly the same like they did earlier in the year. The issue isn't the coaches. It's Kobe repeatedly breaking the offense.
