Not sure why Kobe freaked on the shot in OT to tie it. They were down 3 with 6 seconds left and he caught it in midair and immediately tried to turn and shoot it without getting his legs under him. Not sure if he thought he was going to draw a foul or what.

8 for 26 is still a better percentage than anyone not named tim tebow would have shot tonight (/"kobe nut huggers on youtube and ESPN") /QQ4Fail.

Boston came back to beat Houston in OT and are now only 1 game behind Philly in their division.. Also heard that Boston is interested in trading for Odom.

I think they should play out the season, let their expiring contracts (KG and Allen) go and begin rebuilding around Rondo.

Lakers up 20 midway thru the 3rd against the Wizards. Lead cut to 13 with 2 minutes left. Kobe and Gasol go to bench.
Wizards go on 11-0 run last 2 minutes to end the 3rd. 83-81 Lakers end of 3rd. SMH

I hope the Lakers lose this game.

Up 21 to the Wiz, you should win by 40. This is a complete joke.

Evan Turner in I believe his first start of the year with 26 points, 9 rebounds and 2 assists in the 4th as the 76ers are up 30 on Boston. Not sure why they decided to start him but it paid off.

Danillo Gallanari is supposed to return tonight against the Cavs. My fantasy team awaits his return.

Kobe 8-26, Bynum + Gasol 9-15....Why are the Lakers not pounding the ball in down low every possession? Young and Crawford individually have more shots for the Wiz than AB and Pau combined. Dumb.

The really sad part is Wall has 2 pts. Robert Mason Jr and a guy named Booker are killing the Lakers.

Lakers outscored 49 to 28 in the 2nd half. They scored 64 in the first half.

Second straight night, Lakers need to realize the strength of their team is the interior play, not Kobe taking contested jump shots night in night out.

And they want to trade one or both of these guys. Maybe Bucher was right and Kobe was the guy that needs traded.

Actually just read an article that says he's starting the rest of the year, I'm guessing to give him some confidence.

Turner went 1-12 against Milwaukee in his first start, but he's got 26 and 9 tonight.

Meeks has been the guy starting over him. Young hasn't been a starter this year.

Lakers are 2 different teams home and on the road this year. Unacceptable performance giving over 100 to the Wizards.

Yeah....I don't even know a couple of those key contributors for the Wizards tonight. Kobe had 30....but an Iverson-like 9-31

Meanwhile Gasol with 19 and 15 on 11 shots, and Bynum 6-8. Have some balls Mike Brown and get in Kobe's ass

Had 16 the last I checked in about 22 minutes. The Bobcats are awful....but the few they have won and the rare times they keep it close....he's gotten more minutes in the rotation.
