Predictably, Kobe returns to play against a bad team. expect him to duck playoff teams again.

He won @ Atlanta, @ Spurs, @ Houston..last game was against Cleveland...

I guess he was afraid of the Dynasty that is the Utah Jazz and the Phoenix Suns.

[JT123]

Bout time Kobe manned up and stopped sitting out like a little bitch. But knowing Kobe this will be his last game until the All Star break.

good news for team tank, Davis is playing :lebronamazed:, Jrue out

looks like Kobe from here to the end will play every 1-2 weeks and play around 32 minutes...

[KobesFinger]

JT, do you have panic attacks and mental breakdowns when Kobe doesn't play?

[Kidbasketball20]

BOOOOO

Just have Lin start the rest of the season

[pastis]

expect a great game from kobe. he rest a lot, so his legs should be fresh.

go for 27/8/12 on 46%

[ImKobe]

leggo

[raprap]

Kob will drop 30 tonight. :rockon:

[ImKobe]

boom

[konex]

Wesley Johnson takes a lot of BAD shots for a guy who is usually wide open on the perimeter

[Kidbasketball20]

Lin once again plays incredible and look at this piece of shit team they have as starter.

[Magic 32]

Wes is just.......useless.

[KingLeBronJames]

Kobe giving his teammates easy buckets and wide open shots but they can't hit anything. :oldlol:

[Shih508]

Kobe being carried like always... this time by the supposed to be "pathetic" Lakers bench:no:

They are pathetic. lol Lin is a scrub who is inconsistent and Young is shooting 37%. That's not pathetic?

Lin has been mostly playing well lately. Given his limited minutes his production is good...much better than Price.

It's a shame Lakers are so quick to write him off. I think it would serve them much better to keep developing Lin vs Price or Clarkson.

[G0ATbe]

Rapturebe reserving his energy for clutch time. :rockon:

talking about 37%....

Do you have a multi screen control center for your non-life activities?

[ImKobe]

Kobe needs to start attacking the rim....you don't need to absorb that contact, jusy dish it off to your bigs after the D collapses or kick it out

loved that transition 3

pissed off at how many shots his teammates have missed though, he's been feeding them all game and only 2 of their shots have went in...

[ImKobe]

vintage mamba!

[zizozain]

kobe = goat

[ImKobe]

he can't stand shooting over 45%, has to chuck up a bad shot every time he makes an easy one lol...

hope Scott plays him more than 6 mins in the 4th, it's a close game..

roflmao at Kobe walking back on D while Lakers are still trying to get a shot on O

[SexSymbol]

vintage mamba!
what happened?

[ImKobe]

what happened?

drove inside for a two-handed slam, looked like his old self right there


dude can still get up, I'm mad that like 90% of his shot attempts are jump shots...he would be shooting much better if he tried to score inside.

[KungFuJoe]

WTF is BS's love affair with Price? Lin leads in points and assists. Gets benched for entire third.

Tank is evident.

Tank was evident when he started sitting Kobe :( to preserve him for next season.

Starting to believe that. Kobe ain't hurt. He's going to play 35 minutes tonight and looks fine to me.

[gts]

interesting tid bits, with that last Block Kobe now 1 block away from moving into 5th on the all time Lakers blocked shots list

Ronnie Price now has at least one steal in 14 consecutive games

Get used to it.. Lin's trade bait now.. if not before the deadline he'll be moved next summer

[ImKobe]

Bring Kobe in :(, I don't want to see Young chuck us to a 10-point deficit with 5 minutes left.

[ImKobe]

Young :facepalm

[Magic 32]

So nice to have a sure

[LoneyROY7]

Eric Gordon. :applause:

[ImKobe]

[Magic 32]

Never seen that shot...ever.

[ImKobe]

Tanking with tank talent.

He needs to text Rondo.

[Magic 32]

I need to see that left hand turnaround fadeaway again.

Who would take on Lin's ridiculous contract though?

Also someone plz tell me Nash's equally ridiculous contract is expiring.

Nash's contract is over this season

Somebody would take Lin.. he's got just enough fools gold going for him that there's some GM thinking that he can make him work for us..

Fact is he is who his stats say he is, a poor defending, streaky 45% shooting point guard that averages 2 more assists per game than turnovers, the Lin experiment is over in LA but he's youngish somebody will think he's worth a shot
