the team played great against utah and the twolves as well

You hit the nail on the head with this one. Kobe last year tried to pass at points, but when his teammates stunk it up it reverted to the kobe show. I mean yea it resulted in some wins, but it did nothing for the other players. If its all Kobe in the regular season, you cant expect in the playoffs for the rest to pop-up. Also like BUC said, when you continue to trust them when they're playing poorly, that gives them reason to go all out on defense. The more kobe trusts them and shows faith in them, the harder they will play to prove to him they're worth that trust.

exactly. i mean, if u dont trust your teammates during the rough times, what does that say about ya?
sure if they keep sucking in a game until the 4th, then kobe can take over in the 4th. and pick his spots throughout a game. but dont jack up 30+ shotsto do it.

but i think we're seeing a kobe who's more conscious of his teammates. hope this lasts all season.

If the ball did notbounce off the red, I think we would have lost the game.
 
What a defensive effort in the 4th. For all the stuff about Kobe not wanting to be here in L.A., tonight he looked motivated and happy with his teammateseffort.
So another Friday night win complete with a pass off the ref and an Odom right handed layup.
 
Odom with the bonehead play off the ref - that still counts..he lucked out on that one.
 
Damn Buc, seems like we think the same way when it comes to Kobe and the Lakers. Cant wait till Sunday's game against the Bulls. Should be a W in ourfavor.

3 on 1 fast break at the end of the 3rd quarter. LO on the right wing.

edit:

Figures ESPN would let Roster Guard 24 off the hook w/o putting the Max dunk on him in the top ten. But damn, NBA.COM is down with the conspiracy too. Not intheir top 10 either.

Helluva nice win last night, but now we know we should get the Bulls on Sunday, it would be so us to let that one go. We need to keep killin it each and everygame. Pile up all the W's we can while we're all healthy.
 
Another great win by the lakers last night. I loved everything I saw but I am surprise nobody brought this up. They only had 9 turn overs in the entire game.For a team that averages 18 a game that is a great turn around. Still saw a couple of extra passes that should have been shot but we didn't get burned.

Oh and shooting 70% in the 4th is always a good thing.

Lets go lakers!
 
--Got home from work and the score was 62-62....
--I never would've imagined what happened next...
--Great game by the Lakers in the 4th!!!
--Farmar with those steals...Evans with that tip in dunk..that alley-oop to Bynum..Kobe's 3 in right Rip's eye..Lamar's hat trick off the ref..
