Another proof of how clueless kobe haters are when it comes to analyze or comprehend the game of basketball at any level. They get exposed before they finish typing their nonsense
It's not Kobe who's the issue on his own, it's the Kobe system. When he's out the team still knows the same system. The whole system needs to change in the future when Kobe eventually steps back to retire if they plan on building around Dwight. A system that suits your players is just as important as having great players, stars in a system that doesn't work for them won't get it done. At the moment they think the kobe system is their best shot at a ring and I'd hate to be the guy in the lakers organistion to tell kobe to stfu and take a step back on offence and then have the team start losing while they adjust to the changes.
Lakers weren't losing when Kobe went down tho. They were 7-2 after the All-Star break, before Kobe went down.
I'm not agreeing with anyone on this thread. But this argument is a bit misleading since the Lakers record with kobe bryant this season is precisely their record before the last 2 games - 34-32
The 7-2 stretch included two games against bad teams that they probably deserved to lose - it's not enough games and I don't think it's the most impressive stretch of the season for LA either.
With Kobe that would had been 15fga with +5fgm more.. Everyone with brain knows Kobe is the one who create easy shot for Dwight.. Kobe haters dont know shit about it..

Yet they didn't, because Kobe went GOD MODE in the 4th quarter of both of those games.
