Real reason that Lakers are losing is not because of Lin but Kobe..

Only 3 players have attempted more shots than his misses.
Carmelo is 34-of-75, Griffin is 41-of-82, and Harden is 31-of-80.

I'm not saying Lin is great, he is bad but the real reason lakers are losing right now is kobe jacking up shots. As per quoted, "Bryant went 14-of-37 against the Suns Tuesday, bringing his season field-goal percentage to 40.2. Bryant has attempted 122 shots this year and missed 73 of them."

If you are going to attempt so many shots at a mediocre FG% then you are going to lose more often then win plain and simple.

Everyone except Kobe stans already know this

Kobe taking less shots wouldn't magically make his teammates better defenders or change the fact that they are just a bad team.

What exactly do u suggest kobe does??? Pass the ball to all the great scorers on his team???

[MiseryCityTexas]

Carlos Boozer's the real problem.

You're right, Kobe should pass more to Boozer.

yea man, Kobe should pass the ball to Boozer and Lin and Grant Hill and Wesley because they're all great shooters

Lin can give you 16 points on 10 shots a game. 18 on 8 shots in yesterdays game. So he should be taking about that many. Lakers really need Nick Young to be taking ~12 shots a game too. That would be better than what's going on now.

They're losing because they aren't that good. No great post players. No great shooters. No great defenders. Just a bunch of very average players and old-man Kobe Bryant.

I'm not sure what everyone expected. Their roster is trash, and their playing in one of the most stacked conferences in the history of the game.

[Quizno]

lol you guys have such simplistic views of basketball.

"lin is good for 16 points on 10 shots! he had 18 points on 8 shots yesterday! jeez kobe pass the ball!"

watch the games y'all see how they do when kobe's off the floor

Damn Kobe

Jeremy is a solid player. Contary to some posters here I think he is an nba calibare player or a good 6thman type player. He is a good backup player.

What happen to Linsanity?
