5 wins in a row for the Nets, though the streaks gonna end with Miami. Still feels good to say. 5 in a row.

And twice in one month at that.

I'm impressed.

When Bean yells, it's serious business

He was in an angry mood at Thursday’s practice, calling out his teammates for not being tough enough in games, The Times has learned.
It wasn’t a long rant, maybe half a minute, but he left practice in a hurry, stalking off the court toward the end of it, irritated that the first team had lost to the reserves several times. He knocked some items off a table at midcourt on his way to the locker room and did not talk to reporters who were let in after his outburst.
Bryant’s message wasn’t light. It contained expletives and hammered at the same theme. The Lakers should not be playing this poorly. Everyone needed to be stronger emotionally and physically.

Seriously, how the hell did Kobe reach the status where he could be such a bitch and nobody calls him on it? Where he can 'get mad and lay down the law' on the team and call the guys out and it's reported like the triumphant leader Kobe getting his guys ready and all this other crap and he's one of the main reasons why they've played the way they have.

He demands a lot from his teammates and is insanely competitive.

I understand how he reached that position on this team (it doesn't really need explanation). It might not fly if it was someone else, but as long as the team is the Lakers, and the player going on the half a minute rant is Kobe it's gonna fly.

That's whether us as fans like it or not.

Is it him being a bitch or is he trying to set his team straight? sometimes you got to break things to get through to certain people. Pep talks don't work on everybody. Jordan is infamous for getting at his teammates when they didn't play to his level of expectation.

Plus it's frustrating when you are willing to do so much and sacrifice so much for the game and the people around you are just like "...ehhh...just another game."

Yup and that's basically like that with any team that has a star/big name player.

From Lebron to Melo to Kobe to Durant(if he wanted to), the list goes on and on.

Of course he doesn't but that's because he wastes his energy doing acts like these...

Takes a lot of energy to give one of the most subtle middle fingers to a random fan.

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

Well he really doesnt. My point is why is the notion that you have yell at and berate the people that follow u in order to "set them straight" such a accepted practice?
