The front office needs to make some real moves in coming months.I here people talking about JO is injury prone but so is LO(NOT SAYING WE SHOULD TRADE HIM,NOOOOO).I would make a trade when it’s time.Look at how out matched we are when playing a more experienced team like the Spurs.Don’t get me wrong,they are the champs but the Lakers should have been at this level of 2 years ago.Lakers have a lot of talent but that doesn’t equal being contenders.I feel Kobe has to do,yet again,more of the scoring,at least 28 a game,in order for them to win.With a of more Vets on this team then your talking BIG TROUBLE,MAJOR.

Dude, dude, this is coming from someone who’s town is begging for Kobe to save them…. in the East. Beggars should grovel not bite.

Kobe, the ultimate assassin. He can kill franchises across the country!

Unfortunately I didn’t see the game but it is TOOOOO early to be complaining about this team.They do need to make a trade(please trade BRIAN COOK,PLEEEAAASSSE).Isaw the highlights and after seing them on defense ARTEST would be perfect right now(KOBE’S block on Duncan,INCREDIBLE).It seems certain players can not match Kobe on the defensive side of the ball,too passive.Get Artest PLEASE.

Normally , I would disagree about anything degrading about the lakers but I agree on this. Kobe’s always had ths aspect in his game. When getting bad calls from refs or somebody gets the better of him (’say, blocked him or the ball gets stolen from him), he complains first leaving his teammates out-numbered. He also sucked at switching on defense. Like Kwame, he’s an excellent one on one defender, and maybe average team defender.

Having said all those, he’s godly on all other things basketball-wise.

You are right. I agree with the first point 100% and maybe I didn’t communicate that well. The point guards are getting beat on penetration all night long. On the pick-n-rolls however, I think we are doing a better job. It’s the hardest and most simplest play to defend in basketball. The best way to defend it is to have your SF or SG sag in to clog the middle to prevent the easy pass or penetration. But then the other player needs to get out there and cover for the SG or SF. That’s where the Lakers are slow.

As for Farmar last night. He had 2 great dunks, some nice drives, and a crazy 3. But I feel like he made some bad decisions and did worse than Fisher of defense. He had 2 unforced turnovers and didn’t rack any assists.

Bynum didn’t have the best of games, but he played GREAT defense on Duncan. Duncan did not score on him once in the half court set. He did give up an easy layup to Parker. Bynum was also very efficent. 4-5 FGs.

Thanks, I guess everyone has their own opinions. I personally like ESPN because they give you a different perspective. Stu is 100% pro Lakers. I like to hear both sides of it. Also, I like how they show other games as well if a nice dunk happens.

And, for some reason, John Ireland’s voice just gets to me…But I will keep out my Stu comments from now on. but at least it gave us something to write about?
