Is he wrong though? Serious question since I haven't seem them play much this year.Fly4Fun;1339578 wrote:I'm still anxiously waiting for the first big Kobe ****ting on his teammates episode.
He isn't wrong but he'd be a hypocrite to criticize his teammates when he's sucking it up too.Benny The Jet;1339662 wrote:Is he wrong though? Serious question since I haven't seem them play much this year.

The Lakers are toast this year. I mean, they might make the playoffs as a 7 or 8 seed but they aren't making the finals or winning any playoff series.

And by "doing anything" you mean losing games? Interesting how Kobe gets all the credit when the team is doing well, but dumps all the criticism onto his teammates when things aren't.wildcats20;1339732 wrote:Kobe is not sucking it up this year. Not even close. He's the only one doing anything for LA.

There in lies part of the problem though, Kobe 28 shots tonight and Dwight with 9 shot attempts.reclegend22;1340865 wrote:The Lakers burned their championship hopes when they went with D'Antoni. I love Mike and his offensive mind -- the Suns were absolutely beautiful to watch during their heyday -- but I seriously doubt if he will ever get to the NBA Finals, let alone win one. And this year, the Lakers are in alarming jeopardy of missing the playoffs. You reap what you sew.
But I agree with wildcats. Offensively, Kobe has been as good as ever (excluding 2003 through 2008). He's scoring at a 34 points per game clip in December, having scored over 34 in four of the last five games. He's doing it all for a team that is at a crossroads in terms of its identity.
You make a good argument. Kobe is definitely a volume shooter most nights. But, frankly, nine shots (and by "shots" I mean "dunks") is about where I want Howard. His offensive game is a joke. Dwight's range on a good night is a slam.robj55;1340873 wrote:There in lies part of the problem though, Kobe 28 shots tonight and Dwight with 9 shot attempts.
He "shot" a lot more than that, he just gets fouled. Dwight gets the ball plenty.robj55;1340873 wrote:There in lies part of the problem though, Kobe 28 shots tonight and Dwight with 9 shot attempts.
He's gotta since no one else will step up offensively. This team just looks plain awful outside him and Howard, they look afraid to make mistakes and are second guessing everythingPick6;1340884 wrote:He "shot" a lot more than that, he just gets fouled. Dwight gets the ball plenty.
Not blaming Kobe because he is playing great, just think it is very interesting the Lakers are now 1-10 with him shooting more than 20 times/game.
