Yes! I have never watched a laker game and prayed for Mamba to shoot the last shot.

Feels so good

 

[Shadow780]

haha, lol, this game should've been over sooner than this.

 

[Forceatowulf]

Damn. Couldn't have asked for a better last two possessions.

*sigh*

 

[HenryHSH]

Lakers lose because Kobe shoots 3/20. LMAO.

He fucking hits 2 baskets....go 5/20...

The attempts go up too.

 

[aznpxdd]

SIGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

 

[Mothman91]

heheheheheheheheh

hehehehehhehe

 

[FantasticMrFoxdie]

3/20 yee shh

 

[Herpes Reasons]

Lakers lose because Kobe shoots 3/20. LMAO.

He fucking hits 2 baskets....go 5/20...

that wasn't on kobe. i blame mike brown. he didn't adjust on defense. /konex

 

[ReturnOfTheRAT]

Lakers sucked tonight. The Jazz deserved this more.

 

[Canuck76]

The tank goes on. I think we still played a good game. Jamal went iso at the right times but didn't take over the game. More Batum and we good have been back in this game. But Mathews did a good job. I just need more Aldridge in the deep post going hard to the basket.

 

[Emwitus]

What a stupid game. We better not meat utah in the playoffs.

 

[Puddles]

Kobe made LeBron's non-factor performance tonight look like the highlight of an MVP campaign.

 

[Cloudy]

Kobe was flat out terrible but we still win if Bynum and Pau played a lick of D

 

[pilonv1]

epically bad Kobe game

[diehard]

Can't talk any trash cause it doesnt mean anything really but at least everyone can see why Jazz fans are excited about the young guys. Hayward still should have finished that game, there is literally nothing CJ can do better.

 

[Black Mamba]

I want to hear Cloudy defend Kobe, here, or blame someone else.

3/20 in a 4 point game, Cloudy. Defend that shit.

 

[ryutaro's mama]

3-20.

GG, Jeff.

I could've taken you guys beating us via G TYME but

NOT LIEK DIS

NOT LIEK DIS

 

[Forceatowulf]

Our offensive execution tonight was horrible. But our bread and butter (Defense) is what really cost us this game. It felt like we didn't adjust to anything...

 

[JetBlackPanda]

What a stupid game. We better not meat utah in the playoffs.

What Is this bizarro world? If Kobe is Kobe you win.

I enjoy the win but I know it was pretty lucky that Kobe took a shit on the floor.

 

[ItWasMeantToBe19]

Jazz now 4-1 with Millsap and Favors as the starting big man unit, yessss.

 

[JetBlackPanda]

Jazz now 4-1 with Millsap and Favors as the starting big man unit, yessss.

Jefferson black hole confirmed?

 

[Vahagn]

Worst game I've seen Kobe play...bar none

 

[reilo]

3/20 is the new 6/24

 

[Emwitus]

Why was blake subbed into the game????? He basically just fills the fifth sport. So much of a non factor. And metta sat out too. AGH! Even compared to the detroit and wizards game this was our worst and most painfull loss. Then the commentators were just freaking rubbing it in. Bastards.

 

[Branduil]

I want to hear Cloudy defend Kobe, here, or blame someone else.

3/20 in a 4 point game, Cloudy. Defend that shit.

Kobe needs a better point guard than Derek Fish-oh.

 

[AlphaSnake]

Fuck. Jazz are above .500? The fuuuck...well deserved.

Mike Brown is bitch made, wrap barbed wire around Kobe's hands next time, fool.

 

[Puddles]

This Kobe performance was literally worse than that LeBron turd against the Spurs that everyone makes fun of. And that was against a good defense.

 

[ItWasMeantToBe19]

Jefferson black hole confirmed?

He's passing now, but his defense is garbage. Millsap is ridiculously good on offense so playing another offense-only guy isn't awesome when we already have a lot of offense.

 

[ryutaro's mama]

3/20 is the new 6/24

6/24 wins championships

3/20 couldn't beat the undermanned Jazz.

 

[reilo]

Harden: 1-7FG, 11-14FT

Welcome to today's NBA.

 

[Cloudy]

Our offensive execution tonight was horrible. But our bread and butter (Defense) is what really cost us this game. It felt like we didn't adjust to anything...

Taking out Sessions was a stupid move but this game was about the Lakers lack of D and turnovers

 

[Vahagn]

3/20 is the new 6/24

Much worse...he played defense, Rebouded, scored like 12 in the fourth quarter that game. Kobe did nothing positive all night tonight

 

[Emwitus]

Why can't mike brown have the balls(Or any other coach that's had kobe) to bench his bum sometimes. Or just run the offense through bynum on kobe off nights. Painfull.

 

[Black Mamba]

Pau + Bynum was 20/36 for 51 points.

Kobe 3/20 for 15 points.

Starters had 21 of the 24 turnovers.

Bench played well, Were a positive. Kobe fucked up the starters real bad.

Wish Ramon ended the game over Blake.

 

[Jeff-DSA]

6/24 wins championships

3/20 couldn't beat the undermanned Jazz.

Not having Raja and Jefferson was addition by subtraction. Not having Watson sucked a bit, but Burks rose up.

 

[ryutaro's mama]

Bynum was 12/14.

He was 12 of fucking 14 for 33 points.

 

[RedAssedApe]

I want to hear Cloudy defend Kobe, here, or blame someone else.

3/20 in a 4 point game, Cloudy. Defend that shit.

Kobe made up for the bad shooting night with his all NBA defense.

 

[Cloudy]

You guys are ridiculous. Is Kobe supposed to stop shooting because he's missing easy ones? We win this game if Burks doesn't go crazy in the 4th and Kanter and Millsap don't have like 50

 

[diehard]

Kanter has played basketball for literally like 3 years and has more post moves than Lebron.

 

[Shadow780]

Blake/Sessions/Kobe reminds me of Fish/Sasha/Kobe line up from 08', it's an interesting line-up I think it's worth exploring.

 

[Black Mamba]

Taking out Sessions was a stupid move but this game was about the Lakers lack of D and turnovers

And there it is. it was about defense.

hey, Konex, if Kobe's god awful 7 TOs didn't happen and he made his shots, utah wouldn't get their runouts.

lakers didn't lose on D. They lost on O. Jazz shot only okay and horrible at 3 with 13 TOs and outrebounded badly (with team rebounds).

Lakers lose because of Kobe's shooting and turnovers. And as far as D goes, Burks was his man.

 

[Cloudy]

Bynum was 12/14.

He was 12 of fucking 14 for 33 points.

That's great but his man had 17 on 6/7. Dude averages 4....

 

[Branduil]

My new theory is that Kobe needs a bad point guard to play well.

 

[CoffeeJanitor]

Pau + Bynum was 20/36 for 51 points.

Kobe 3/20 for 15 points.

Starters had 21 of the 24 turnovers.

Bench played well, Were a positive. Kobe fucked up the starters real bad.

Wish Ramon ended the game over Blake.

Brown should have benched Kobe on the last few possessions

 

[DominoKid]

sometimes kobe has bad games. shit happens.
nobody's really gonna tell Kobe to stop shooting.

 

[Cloudy]

if Kobe's god awful 7 TOs didn't happen and he made his shots, utah wouldn't get their runouts.

Bullshit. 2 of those were offensive fouls. One was dribbled off his foot and another was thrown out of bounds. Yeah, he played bad but his missed shots and tos didn't let Milsapp and Kanter get 40 on a ridiculous fg%

 

[Jeff-DSA]

Brown should have benched Kobe on the last few possessions

Skip Bayless comment.

 

[Shadow780]

Brown should have benched Kobe on the last few possessions

LOL like Mike Brown has the remotely the BALLS to bench Kobe.

Brian Shaw

Fuck you Jim.

 

[ryutaro's mama]

That's great but his man had 17 on 6/7. Dude averages 4....

Burks had 17.

How did that happen?

 

[Black Mamba]

Bullshit. 2 of those were offensive fouls. One was dribbled off his foot and another was thrown out of bounds. Yeah, he played bad but his missed shots and tos didn't let Milsapp and Kanter get 40 on a ridiculous fg%

Kanter score a bunch on McBobs, not just Bynum.

Burks scored in the 4th on kobe. Why no criticism there? Career high for him, too.

I said Kobe's TOs AND missed shots led to runouts. Kobe played terrible. Just face it. He cost the Lakers the game all by himself.


edit: There is no coach in the league ever that would have benched Kobe. Not even Phil. Stop that talk.
