Lakers got jobbed several times during this game, but not during any times where it would have changed the outcome of the game, really; even that last play with Barry wouldn't have done much-- what, was Kobe gonna drain three 3's in 20 seconds somehow? And that's assuming that SA didn't successfully inbound the ball and just hit a free throw. 
They didn't win, but who actually expected the Lakers to beat the Spurs? Atleast they got into a position to possibly take it. They actually impressed me with Odom's play and hopefully when they all get healthy and start learning each others games that they'll be pretty darn good.
bruce bowen's been pulling this shit for over a YEAR. this fucking nancy thug needs to step off and realize his place in the NBA world:
nothing spectacular. frankly, i hope a big man who's not hell bent on a career to stardom mows his sorry ass down.
first ray allen, then vince carter, countless others, and now kobe.

Heh, I noticed that...if he tries that with Vince on the 22nd, there's going to be war. I don't get how a coach or GM hasn't sent in video of this shit, if for no other reason then to warn Bowen not to do it again.

:lol Lakers really did get jobbed in the second half, but I kept thinking about all the calls that went their way the last five years and was like "fuck 'em". Doesn't make it right though.

Brian Grant is a joke. Can't catch easy passes, can't score, can't defend, can't grab a board. Apparently all he can do is cash a check >_<

Great game by the Spurs. Should have put the finishing touches on the Lakers earlier on though, instead of waiting for them to screw up, roll over and die. It should have never been nowhere near a close game, but I guess that's just typical Spurs.

I don't think it will cause I think he'll be puttin the ball in the air any and every chance he gets.Loki said:Another sub-37% shooting game for Kobe. TSC TSC.
So when do you guys think his FG% will rise above 40% for the season? I say about 10 games in, myself.
Kobe: Iverson redux

2 down, 17 to go
I must say that it's been quite gratifying seeing Kobe make some nice passes, only to have them bobbled by guys like Mihm and Cook, or the passes never getting there due to deflections because those guys don't clear as much space for themselves as Shaq did to receive the ball, or the shots contested and missed, as opposed to when he was with Shaq, where all Kobe had to do was deliver the ball in the paint when he drove the lane and it was a guaranteed dunk or three-point play. Now he knows what Jordan felt like never playing with a center/PF who had good hands and good finishing ability (besides Horace Grant, who was good-- nothing like Shaq though). Now Chris Mihm and Brian Cook/Grant can take their rightful place alongside such notable inside forces as Luc Longley, Will Purdue, Bill Wennington, Jason Caffey, and Bill Cartwright.
This Laker season is like a dream come true for me so far-- sub-39% shooting for Kobe, him getting bailed out by the refs constantly so as to pad his average (15+ FT's per game? Knob-schlob), and all his teammates bobbling his good passes in the paint and getting turned back by shotblockers, depriving Kobe of his assists. Ah, the joys of life. Welcome to NOT playing with Shaq, Kobester. Don't say I didn't call it (particularly about the bobbled passes and missed shots by the bigs off Kobe assists, which I've been saying for years now).
Now watch him go on a tear averaging like 32/6/6 while shooting 50% from the field and I get owned. :lol

Heh, true-- but it doesn't really depend on what team they play. The fact is that all teams are gonna key on Kobe and make the other guys beat them. Shaq was great at finishing; these other clowns aren't. They're just gonna throw two defenders at Kobe and make him give the ball up, in which case another guy has to make an outside shot (which they've shown no ability to) or make a lay-up (which they can't do consistently the way Shaq used to). All this-- barring some miracle-- will lead to Kobe shooting < 45% for the season and averaging less than 6 assists, unless they start running more or Odom starts averaging like 20+ (which is possible). As they've quickly learned, teams don't let you run on them in the regular season the way they did in preseason.
Oh well, whatever happens I'll enjoy this while it lasts. :lol
My gosh there has been a lot of sweet highlights this week.
Francis's dunk in their first game.
Gino's dunk against the Lakers
Andre Miller getting roofed twice in two games
KG literally catching Melo's shot
Wade bustin Snow to the tenth degree
Lebron hitting a big three to put the Cavs into overtime
Kobe with an insane reverse lay-up
Vince not getting hurt yet. :lol
This is gonna be a great year.

Garnett is crazy. 8-12, 17 points, 6 rebounds, 2 assists, and there's still 6 minutes left in the 2nd quarter.
It looks like he's added a jump hook to his offensive moves (he's now used it and made baskets with it six times throughout the first 2.5 games of the season)
Insane. o_o

1 and 1 baby!
They looked very good tonight. They would destroy the original Charlotte Hornets team from 1988. Of course, as Loki could write a thesis on, the NBA is infinitely more athletic than it was then. Perhaps Jordan wouldn't dominate quite as much in today's....just kidding dude.
