It's just the trolls way of trying to make us look bad. Example: "LoL u guiys dnt say sh!ttt when kobe shots bad lOl al u do is bash gas0l"
Yeah some guys criticise Pau too much and Kobe not enough and vice versa, but the people with a brain will realize when either of them play like trash and aren't afraid to call them out. I already admitted that both Gasol and Kobe sucked today.
BUT I'll be honest and say I was more dissapointed with Gasol's performance than Kobe's. 2-9? 6 Rebounds? That was pathetic, no two ways about it.

They're 8 years old?
They have some sort of tunnelvision when they watch basketball. They only focus on one player, and if that player makes a bad play, they'll take notes.
Once Kobe started missing, 20 fresh haters came into the game thread. They just hide behind a rock until they have new material.

Pau today was Gasoft. Games like this is the reason he deserves that nickname, he played against a miniature PF in Carl Landry and couldn't get it done.
And that's an understatement.
But nobody on the Lakers played well, this loss is almost entirely on them. And of course on CP3 and Jarret Jack.

Lakers were the only HOME team not to have free throw advantage in games played so far. But somehow we can't question the reffing

Re: Hornets Upset Lakers game 1 - reaction/comments 3 points to make
Whatevs, Lakers are gonna win this series in 6 and Kobe will get his due and bask in the glory. He faltered in the clutch but LA was getting away with murder for stretches, anyway. If Kobe hadn't shot that well in the first three quarters, the Lakers would've been blown out the way they presented themselves.
Still, it just feels great to see how trolls like Hulk Hogan got exposed.. again. The knee-jerk reaction threads about Kobe and his legacy are somewhat annoying, but the real LA fans will just have to deal with it. And rightly so, as they constantly give THEIR trolls passes.

I love how people are acting like Aaron Gray is some all-star when most had never even seen him before today. The dude is a good BACKUP center, but its not like we had a great chance to knock off the Lakers with him and now we don't.

Just because you are the home team doesn't automatically result in more FT's. This is something laker fans can't digest. Hornets got to the line more because they attacked more, and because the lakers were in the penalty early. It doesn't mean fouls weren't called. Emeka was in trouble all game long. Meanwhile, the Laker frontline didn't attack. Pau wasn't aggressive on the block, and Bynum did nothing, resulting in a lot of jumpshots for LA. People who assume that FT totals equate to a bias either didn't watch the game, or don't understand the game.

Fisher was his regular season self. Exploited by quicker players, and uncharacteristically challenged physically by Paul.
Kobe went cold in the 4th, doing little to help his team win after 3 quarters of good basketball.
Bynum did absolutely nothing.
Artest at one point scored 7 straight late in the 4th. Nobody else was doing anything. To place the blame on one person is just another sign of how biased towards one player the fanbase really is. It's not about the lakers to you, it's about Kobe.
Bynum was decent. He put fourth the effort but was clearly rusty from his two game absence.
Kobe played well. I do think most of his shots came outside of the offense, though that was mostly due to the Hornet's full court pressure.
I don't know how ANYONE can think Gasol played even remotely well. He was awful. The Lakers completely forgot about him and whenever he did get the ball he played soft. His man to man defense was terrible. I expect him to bounce back in a big way in game 2.

The lakers did a horrible job today of running the triangle. And their defense was weak. I'm shocked they lost today.
