I cant believe how uninspired these guys look. D'antoni should call Phil Jackson now and beg him to come back, because this team needs some direction badly.

They looked good all the way up until dwight came out.

Don't really blame d'antoni, blame the lakers management for hiring him. Your talking about a coach with a completely different offense, and who quit out on his own team-the knicks-just a year ago. Look at how much better they played after his departure. His record speaks for itself. They should have known what they were getting into.

We would so be over .500 with Phil right now. Hopefully last night was just a blip, it was a back to back.

Lakers led by as much as 29 points tonight and have let it dwindle down to 4 here in the 4rth. The only adjustment the T-Wolves had to make was to switch to a zone and it has the Lakers dumbfounded.

Well they finished up winning by 11 but I was worried for a minute. Either way a wins a win I guess.....

I fux wit kobe this year he went off tonight

Kobe showed late in the game tonight why he's Kobe Bryant. Almost in every game though late in the game he does that. That dunk between two guys though that sparked that 10 point run they went on to close out the game was fun to watch.

Kobe should be driving the hoop alot more. It draws open looks for teammates and will get him to the free throw line more often. I gotta say the Lakers have looked more poised without Howard in the lineup, but I sure wish he would assimilate and become a force again in the paint.

Have you been watching the Lakers this year? Kobe's great shooting numbers can be largely attributed to his eagerness to get to the rim.

PS: He can't do it all night.

I've watched every game but one. I'd have to disagree and say he settles for far too many jump shots. His shots near the paint are far too frequent for my taste. He should be able to do it all night, what kind of an excuse is that.
