it was against the sonics

. when he's against a better team the lakers need more of the passing Kobebut if Bynum is gone maybe ballhog Kobe has to do it

Dantoni would never do that.. Boris is like his own son, it's so stupid. Boris against the clips played 37 mins, had 7 pts, and 1 reb.

TRADE?!

On with the lakers game, last time suns got embarrased by the hornets, they took it out on denver hitting 20 three pointers. Expect Suns to do the same to thelakers.. well i hope so. I feel sorry for Kwame, and Turiaf.. Amare will kill them tonight.

I just had to throw that in there.

For having such a crappy train wrecked team, we're doing pretty well. Last time i checked we had the best record in west.

Wrong again ! Last season when Kobe went on his streak of 5 games of 40+ points the Lakers won all those games.

[bullsrepeat3peat]

IMO, KB and Phil should use the regular season to somewhat help develop the younger players even more, as long as they still win....... Once the playoffscome, that's when KB needs his big games and needs to take over...... Like I've already said in another thread, to get to the top you have to beselfish, once you get to the top you have to stay reachable and involve your teammates even more....... The only problem is he isn't really "improving" his teammates like he can.... If he got in their faces once in a while, especially Odom would be at least a20-10 guy right now.....

 

[burns1923]

Kobe no longer wants out
Speculation. If you're citing his "with Bynum we're a championship-caliber team" quote, that's not "I'mstaying" at all. With this dude's errant behavior, he could still walk in 09 just as well as he could decide to stay. Too early to call.

The Suns have played poorly all season; not much intensity. This team can't afford to turn it on in the playoffs. Winning starts now.

I don't know how talented the Lakers really are because A.) I couldn't be less of a fan of that franchise, and B.) I don't follow them day in, dayout. However, from what little I have seen, they are winning more than was expected of them because they have somehow maximized what they get from theirplayers and they're playing as a team. That's basically how games are won.

I wish Grant were playing tonight but the Suns need this game regardless of who's playing, not just because it's the Lakers, but because they need toget going as a team. You can't lose to teams like the Clips and expect to be ready playoff time.

Except the joker, but he aint loud or nothing, he just be chillin

^ yah ok

I guessi pulled that out of my*%@% from what I've seen on tv. But When i think of tough places to play, LA isnt one of them. But thanks for letting meknow, i hope the fans make it tough for phoenix

Here, I found some of the periods you left out.

 

[ibleedorange342313]

cause it matter's right^^^^^

 

[darthska]

I'm pretty sure we have a losing record (or somewhere close to .500) THIS season when Kobe scores 40+.

Can someone provide his 35+ or 40+ games this season (or tell me where I can check that kind of sortable stat myself)?

OWNED. Badly.

To reiterate what I stated earlier, if the Lakers are to win tonight, someone is gonna have to step up in Bynum's absence on the OFFENSIVE END. Itcertainly isn't gonna be Kwame, and highly unlikely to be Odom.

Which leaves Kobe needing to be Kobe tonight. I mean seriously, who is gonna stop Kobe from going off tonight, especially in the Staples Center?!

Marion?! HA!! Bell?! NO!!

Now if Kobe doesn't have at LEAST 35 tonight, I'll eat my words. When he goes for 40+ and a W, remember the name!

 

[goldenarmz97]

I'll be there tonight, hope Kwame is ready to play...

 

[kicks4days]

Tough game but Nash is getting old and coming off an injury, Amare is looking to soft (esp against Kaman last game), and the rest of the team seems uninspiredand lethargic. Lakers +3. Kobe 36 pts 11-33 fg 11-12 Fts 5 Asts Odom 10 pts 16 rebs 3-10 4-6 Fts 6 ast

^ Thanks. Looks we found it at the same time.

me, earlier:

---

I'm pretty sure we have a losing record (or somewhere close to .500) THIS season when Kobe scores 40+.

Can someone provide his 35+ or 40+ games this season (or tell me where I can check that kind of sortable stat myself)?
Found it myself.

Looks like we're 6-1 when he's above 35, 1-1 when he's above 40. (we lost our first game of the season, a game where Kobe scored 45 and Houstonwon).
