The score is deceiving... it doesn't show just how badly we got crapped on

[Hollywood]

There was no help defense either. They set screens for Westbrook all night and no help defense came.

Only Laker that tried on the offensive board was Bynum tonight. Kobe tried to force effort when other players were coming through. Gasol had a crap game and only had what 4 rebounds? Lack of effort in the areas that count like help defense and rebounding.

Steve Blake watching him dunk on him didnt help either

[Marc Maron]

That was the issue. He's just allowing himself to be pulled out of games. He's not asserting himself for some reason

agreed.

[LakeShow805]

Kobe

Please

Hand the team over to bynum

Bynum needs more and more...
More

More

Bynum is unstoppable...
At least by any other players in the NBA
At least by any players in the NBA besides Kobe and Tyson Chandler....
And besides mike brown...



Kobe has a half dozen players in the NBA who can defend him well
Tony Allen
Thabo Sepholphosha
Shane Baittier

Bynum is a more unstopppable force.
If each had 24 shots a game it would be FAR better


On a unrelated note...

Fisher had a HUGE smile sitting on the bench

No Bynum can not have the offense ran threw him......he is not ready. And I don't see it working

He's prob still trying to fit in

But honestly this loss doesn't like alarm me it's not like the team played hard or well and still got their asses handed to em by OKC, I'm not saying we'll beat them in a series but with their style I would not be surprised if we pull it out.

No effort after the 1st

[LakeShow805]

I had a feeling Lakers would come out strong on D and then just relax.

No hard screens are one reason. Sessions is a P&R point guard, when you set screens for him good things happen. Only Gasol and McRoberts set consistent screens for him. Kobe only sets halfhearted "pass to me" screens.

That needs to change.

28% shooting for Kobe tonight? only 22 off 50. I wonder when Kobe's gonna' shoot at least 43% or higher again. Someone told me recently it was against Dallas last time, but it sure feels like much longer.

[Warren2ThaG]

why arent u guys spying on a thunder forum? scared to check cuz we lost? awwwwwww

I'm sorry, but Mike Brown is an IDIOT. What the eff, I feel like Sessions barely played this game. He sat out nearly the whole damn 3rd quarter, then didn't come in until the middle of the fourth. It's just sad how much energy and momentum we have, then just lose it and act like they don't care. We could have won that game if we game out playing the way we did in the first. And is it just me, or do people feel like Sessions needs to SHOOT it more? If you watch the pass highlights of him shooting a jump shot he makes it, too much Kobe again when he bricked everything.

[J-H!zZl3]

Stopping players like westbrook takes a team effort, period. OKC sets screens for him and our bigs have to help. Drew doesn't come over to block enough shots, Pau doesn't play weak side defense, perimeter players get hung up on screens, no boxing out, etc. This team just won't contend if they continue to play lackadaisical and defend the way they do. It's almost like they expect opposing players to just miss shots without them having to put effort into it.

It's absolutely disgusting to watch this team play like this.

What I hate More on here when the Lakers Lose than the Trolls(Point Guard11)

No loss has alarmed me. Artest is a playoff player. Officials allow more physical play and this allows Ron to be a better defender. The whole team is just built for the slower playoffs

The only loss that alarmed me was Memphis. And it was because our bench just showed me nothing. Still showing me nothing. Beasley would have made a world of difference. But now we just have to hope Blake and mcroberts pull their heads out of their asses

[Windu]

Durrant having 21 points is a win for the lakers...

21/11/5 45% FG

two blocks as well

[KB24]

Fine Murphy $500 per shot attempt and MWP $2000 every bad shot.

Fine Bynum $1000 every time he doesn't hustle back and allows a transition basket.

Fine the entire team $100 every time somebody is out-hustled for an offensive rebound/loose ball.

The entire [expletive]ing team would be bankrupt by the time the season was over.
