OGT December 21 - Lakers (8-18) @ Kings (11-15)

Probable starters

G Price | Collison
G Bryant | McLemore
F Johnson | Gay
F Davis | Thompson
C Hill | Cousins

Cousins in his second game back from a viral infection. He posted 27/11/5 as the Kings fell to the Bucks 108-107 for their fifth straight loss. Cousins missed the 10 games prior, and Sacramento went 2-8 in that stretch including a loss to the Lakers in Los Angeles.

[KobesFinger]

Tip off. No Lakers/Kings fans awake?

[Doctor Rivers]

Kobe needs to hang em up

[Hizack]

Vlade Divac was calling the game :cheers:

[6 for 24]

Kobe with an incredible PER (http://www.insidehoops.com/forum/showthread.php?t=324201)

[ImKobe]

Kobe's playing like complete ass and we're up 8 points at the half

this is so frustrating to watch though, if dude had an average game, we'd be up by 20+ points. So many easy shots gone missed, horrible passes, offensive fouls...

We should win this one, but something tells me we'll go cold at the most opportune time and give up a big run and shit the bed in the end as usual.

[WallIn]

Kobe as efficient as ever

[dubnation]

3-13, 5 TOs at half... all bad. Doesn't seem to have his legs again, as he's getting a lot of good looks and just leaving them short..

At least the Lakers have the lead this time around.

[Batz]

It ain't about making the basket, it's about making history.

2-2 from 3 and has drawn some fouls, but that's about it

[ImKobe]

KOBE!!!!

30-foot pull up 3

crazy

[dubnation]

:wtf: damn Kobe with the 30 footer :applause:

[ImKobe]

I see you Kobe

3/4 in the quarter, he's baack

[ImKobe]

we are not worthy.

[KobesFinger]

DPOYbe

I don't know how to feel, I want the Lakers to keep their pick rather than be stuck in hell for longer, but I want to see them win and be competitive

I don't think they're bad enough to be bottom 5, might as well try to win as much as possible to give the Suns the worst possible pick

In the same boat. I've heard a lot about Okafor, but are any of the top 5 projected guys game-changers?

[ImKobe]

wtf was that lol

bring in the bench and give the guys some rest, we need KB's legs in the 4th

[ImKobe]

how was that not a foul, Gay got faked out and jumped into him...

[KobesFinger]

No, the East is too bad unfortunately and we're not even the worst in the West

Only Towns but I don't know how good he is. We could traded the pick on draft day though if its top 5. Maybe we'll do a Cleveland

[MVBallin2K]

That foul on Collison woke the Kings up and now they're fired up.

[ImKobe]

We should win this one, but something tells me we'll go cold at the most opportune time and give up a big run and shit the bed in the end as usual.

well, we gave up a big run

time to shit the bed in the 4th

[ImKobe]

I think you misunderstood my post, I said we're not bad enough to get a top 5 pick :hammerhead:

[Doctor Rivers]

This will end in another missed game winning shot by Kobe

[MVBallin2K]

Jeremy Lin is truly an amazing basketball player and amazing more in the sense of just making you wonder what you're getting every game.

Flashes of brilliance in the Thunder game and an aggressiveness of scoring. This game, he has a fast break and instead of taking it in to score or get the foul, tries to pass it to Nick Young, throwing it away in the process.

[ImKobe]

:rant

[ImKobe]

Nick effing Young

GOAT

[Batz]

Christ almighty Swaggy. :wtf: :bowdown:

[navy]

Nick Young needs to shoot the game winners

[KobesFinger]

I think you misunderstood my post, I said we're not bad enough to get a top 5 pick :hammerhead:

I was agreeing with you, as bad as we are there are about 7 teams with a worse record

[LEFT4DEAD]

Bryant 7-24 atm. Cant believe the guy played even worse in the game 7 of NBA finals and still got the FMVP.

[dubnation]

Oh Kobe... 28% shooting with 7 TOs. I hope it gets better for this guy, this is tough to watch man.

[ImKobe]

Kobe's on a whole nother level in terms of bricking right now, which is really sad for this Laker team, that was just coming along and began to click somewhat...

There's no reason he should be taking these pull up long Js instead of Young

[navy]

Kobe what the hell man...

[kuniva_dAMiGhTy]

Kobe needs to hang em up. Watching him, game after game, shooting the Lakers out of contention must get old to Laker fans.

[MVBallin2K]

Bryant 7-24 atm. Cant believe the guy played even worse in the game 7 of NBA finals and still got the FMVP.

He had 15 boards that game at least, this game there's really nothing else you can excuse that with.

And he just got blocked...man this game fell apart fast.

[Natureland]

Kings commentators aren't holding back on Kobe. :lol

[K Xerxes]

Just chucking. He don't give two shits anymore. :roll:

Oh hey, it went exactly as I predicted. :banghead:

Lakers aren't in contention with or without Kobe.

May as well let him either chuck teams out of games or guide them to victory here or there. Otherwise, there's no real fodder for people to talk about. This at least gives some entertainment to the season, good or bad :oldlol:

I agree... I'm not even a Laker fan but have always enjoyed watching Kobe for his individual play since I was a kid, and this **** is unwatchable.

[Eric Cartman]

Sad kobe stan here :(

It hurts to see a man who has given you so much pleasure by watching him play basketball playing like pure shit, I may need to live in the past for the moment being.

Also considering jumping the Damian Lilliard wagon.

If I was at the game and had a KB24 jersey on and was close enough to the court, I'd take it off and throw it on the damn court in disgust

8/28, this is just pathetic.

[ImKobe]

good job Kobe, another offensive foul

[Smoke117]

This dude might be the worst player in the league...not by talent, but what he actually does to (for) your team.

[MVBallin2K]

Kobe at this point needs to just be given time off to evaluate his game and what he can do at this point.

You don't need him, you're not making the Playoffs. He's visibly frustrated, can't help the team out right now. Let the man clear his head and see if that does anything. If not, oh well but this just isn't working.

[dubnation]

Sooner or later thickheaded Kobe has to realize it too..... right? Dude needs to check his ego and take a step back, I don't care how terrible the rest of the roster is.

[kuniva_dAMiGhTy]

If the Lakers were smart, they would bench Kobe in 4th quarters. Period. Seems like that's where the games are always lost - and where Kobe starts chucking.

[navy]

Kobe is playing despicable basketball. Dude isnt nearly as bad as his stats.

[K Xerxes]

Dude has more turnovers than FG made. :facepalm

[Eric Cartman]

8/28, this is just pathetic.

Considering throwing my kobe shirt in the garbage, since I'm such a big kobe stan, I'll miss and proceed to blame on my friends and family for it.

[HOoopCityJones]

Kobe look like he fell off a cliff.

[navy]

Kobe look like he fell off a cliff.
He's not that bad, just refuses to adjust his game. :facepalm

[gilalizard]

Kobe should of really stepped back and worked as a facilitator over his last couple of years. He'd of still surpassed Jordan for points, just not as quick. And he wouldn't be embarrassing himself like he is now.

:roll:

[dubnation]

:biggums:

At least in the Detroit game he only shot 11 times while having 10 TOs... but to shoot 8/30 and have 9 TOs? Just giving away 30+ possessions :facepalm.

[JebronLames]

how many games does kobe have with 20+ misses in his career?

[MVBallin2K]

Kobe should of really stepped back and worked as a facilitator over his last couple of years. He'd of still surpassed Jordan for points, just not as quick. And he wouldn't be embarrassing himself like he is now.

The thing is, he CAN do that. He's had stretches over the last few years where he'll get double digit assists and near triple doubles. Granted, that was before his injury but I'm pretty sure that doesn't hurt his passing and he's done some of that this season, just not enough.

[MVBallin2K]

On another note, it's sad that the highlight of the Lakers season this year may very well turn out to be James Worthy doing his defense dance after a Laker win. That's when you know the season has hit rock bottom :oldlol:

[Doctor Rivers]

Kobe needs to hang em up

+1

[JohnFreeman]

Kobe :roll:

[Eric Cartman]

Kobe :roll:

Can't imagine how hilarious this must be from a kings fan perspective :lol
