Bynum, LO and Ron are all all star caliber performers, and they need to be encouraged by the coaching staff to be just as agressive offensively when Kobe is in the game as they are when he is out of it. If that happens, bring on Cleveland in the finals.

its truly a pleasure to watch the triangle run the right way; the cuts, the screens, the flow, the energy, excitement, hustle . . . absolute enjoyment (win or lose)

Good idea to keep the opposing team guessing as to if Kobe will play or not. ... game time decision. Also, the rest of the team really steps up their game when Kobe isn't playing... greater energy, effort and motivation! Rest Kobe! Go Lakers!

If there is swelling in that knee you would be stupid to want him to play on it. Don't be stupid. No one knows the extent of the injury and certainly you don’t.

I think he looked a little nervous out there as a starter and he's still getting used to the system. He just has to work on his decision-making. He does dribble around a bit too much, rarely running the offense. Too much isolation for sure. But he's definitely done more good than bad since he got here. Shannon had a bad night.

Ball movement, fastbreaks, up tempo. A lot of that had to do with the ball not sticking in one spot (not to mention any names). Its good he is getting a chance to rest. got to say that was prob the most fun Laker game I’ve seen in a long time… Ball movement, fastbreaks, up tempo.
