I love Kobe. Just like everyone else does. We all saw what happend to Nick Collisons Face during the sonics game the other night. Thank god For my High Def DVR. I rewinded, and played the part where kobe hits collison in the face. surely, if you ask me, it was so blatant that he hit him on purpose. If you watch closley, after kobe flys over collison his hands and body are no where near him, after watching it over and over again in slow you, can see that after he’s clearley away from collison, he basically blatantly, and purposly smacks him in the face. Thats something that made me lose some respect for mr cry baby bryant. and by the way, has he ever gotten a nose job? his nose is too pointy and perfect for a black man. peace.

You’re sick in the a$$, it’s lame’s like you that had Kobe suspended last year when he hit Ginobli “intentionaly” when he clearly wasn’t looking at him.Even Manu said he did not think it was intentional.But since you’re a sick person you think it was; because that’s something you would do.Are you sure you’re not David Stern?Get out of this site Kobe hater!!!

Your way off base. In basketball those things happen unintentionally when you try to slap the ball sometimes you inadvertently hit someones face. You obviously have not played enough ball i guess. There are alot of questionable things about Kobe but this is not one. Save your ammo for a legit reason.

well i think we should start turiaf, even though hes not doing too good right now, starting him might jss get his spark back.

has nebody noticed that bynum gets almost ten rebounds in the first quarter and then only a couple of rebounds throughout the rest of the game?

True Laker fans support the Lakers whether they win or lose.

Like I said in another blog post, all teams go through years when they don’t win or don’t compete like the Lakers did in the 90’s, but when you stick by your team, even when all the bandwagon fans leave, and then your team wins championships, then those championships are all the sweeter.

True Laker Fans Support the Lakers in good times and in bad!

I go through most of the comments on this site and I cant even count the number of times youve typed “true lakers fans”, im guessing its around the thousands, haha. Love the support and pride you have in our Lakers.

GO LAKERS!!!!!

BEC - Thank you. I use the term “True Laker Fans” because I get tired of everyone thinking that the Lakers are called the Los Angeles Kobe Bryants. The Lakers are a TEAM and should not revolve around ONE MAN. We should support the Lakers TEAM. When they lose, they lose a team, and when they win, they win as TEAM. We should all just want the Lakers to win. Unfortunately some people in here just want the Lakers only if they have Kobe. To those I say you are not TRUE LAKER FANS. You are only Kobe-fans.

Yes, KB is a great basketball player, but he is NOT the entire team. Bynum has showed fantastic progress this year, almost averaging a double double each game, but very few people here have acknolwedged that. I will acknolwedge it right now

“GOOD JOB BYNUM, YOU ARE PLAYING MUCH BETTER”

If Bynum continues to improve, and stays healthy, then in a few years, he’s really going to be force to be reckoned with. Yet, some people were dogging on Bynum showing passion. It’s almost as if some people in here want Bynum to fail just so they can say “I told you so”. If you are one of these people, you are NOT A TRUE LAKER FAN.

Farmar is also playing better, so is Turiaf. Even Radman (albeit he’s a bad past two games) is playing better than last year. Last week, people were praising him, scoring 18 points in Boston, averaging double digits off the bench. Now he’s in a lull, everyone rags on him. The same with LO, he plays well, people love him. He plays bad, people are quick to trade him. He’s on OUR TEAM, Support him while he is here!

Do we need to improve, sure we do, but its still early. Remember Golden State last year didn’t peak until April and they were very close to beating Utah last year in the conference semi-finals.

Former bench - farmar, evans, walton, vlade, bynum
New bench - farmar, sasha, walton, turiaf, and mihm

Who is supposed to be the scorer in this second unit? Farmar is a hybrid and the best off the bench. Sasha is horrible, walton is a distributor, turiaf is not offensive, he is hustle and defense, and mihm is also horrible. Why can’t phil see this? The bench with radman, bynum, and evans was much better. Turiaf needs to start, he can focus on hustle and defense with the second unit until his offense improves. Kwame at least brought a defensive presence, mihm brings neither defense or offense.

I hope this gets corrected soon, the bench is not the same and we need them bad. The starters are too offense heavy while the bench is not suited to score. If things don’t change, who knows when we start looking good again.
