hmmm
Wanna know the reasons why we lost? It was a collective blackout. Trying to make Kobe responsible for the less is damn exeggerated. Dude still has 45/7/4 and 2 steals 1 block and only 2 TOs. He was terrible but he can´t be the ONLY reason we lost.
OK I want to break down the players tonight.
Kobe:
All it took was a little mind game from Mike Miller to make sure Kobe does everything possible to lose this game. How? Kobe wanted to prove he is the baddest on the floor and as expected failed. He COMPLETELY ignored ALL teammates after the first half. He was a selfish ballhog that killed the enitre flow of the offense and sucked the energy out of the building. the guy simply makes terrible decisions down the stretch. period. 3rd straight game that was decided with a difference of one or two possessions but once again we failed to capitalize because neither Kobe nor anybody else could step up in the very final play. He had a hot stretch in the third in which he made 3 triples (3rd quarter) and a surge (late in overtime) but missed 24 shots which indeed nearly equaled the amount of Smushs, Odoms and Mihms shots in the game. When you take half of the teams shots you gotta do better than hitting 13 of em specially at home and specially after a first half where the offense exceled.
I am growing impatient with Kobe. He is hard to watch these days and I never thought I would want to bench his butt during a game because he was hurting the team rather than he helping. His missed a critical FT with about 40 seconds left, his clanked too many forced shots, his flagrant late in the game was also a game changer, his defense and most important his critical TO in overtime were killing us down the stretch. Sad to see someone hustle and try everything to win and be the reason why we lose but its the way it is.
I want to add he is the only guy that goes out as a warrior and fights untill end even if he sucks it doesn´t discourage him to keep the tension. Its not ONLY him doing way too much, nobody else is interested to do anything.
Lamar:
Trade him for Artest damn it. The guy has no balls. He had 4 points and no assists after the first quarter. Thats bullcrap, period He just had a 3 and a FT in the last 3 quarters at home. He is never going to do what he is supposed to and we need scoring and defense more than his rebounds and assists right now, you can be patient and think this time he will step up but the track record speaks volumes, people are waiting since 7 years for him to break out but if you have constant mental lapses you are not the right guy to be th Pippen to Kobe, simple and plain He can step up occasionally but I don´t need someone who steps up 5 times a season, I need someone who can step up 50 times. He is great in a team that is already very good without him. I might add it was hard to do anything offensively with Kobes domination of the ball.
Luke
He is a TERRIBLE defender lately, lost all of his confidence and get beaten off the dribble way too easy. He has quick hands but lacks lateral quickness. Damn his reach ins and silly TOs make me wanna punch Jax and Crapcup for resigning him. he was the only guy from the bench that scored so some props for this game but over the season he is a waste of basketball IQ.
Mihm
was awesome when he played untill the last shot. he was banged up but came back and 15/11 on 7-12 shooting is really good. You can´t expect more, he also kept Gasol from doing damage untill late in the game and choked on the potential game winner.
Smush
What a turnaround. Where is the exciting hustler who gets the steals, runs the transition and throws it down hard. he missed a WIDE WIDE open finger roll and missed a dunk. And his defense was abysmal for the 4th consecutive game. Time to realize he is breaking down really bad. His lateral slowness is beyond obvious. He is more and more playing like the guy that got cut regularly. Lets hope he can pick up the slack, otherwise there is no chance we make the playoffs if PGs burn us like that every night.
Kwame:
Hustled, was active but played bad defense and had terrible TOs down the stretch. I was just freezed. He didn´t get any touches because he was constantly ignored.
Gump
played a great game on both ends. Dude hustled, made some great shots but missed his last 2 that were in the crunch.
Sasha
Thank you Sasha. You came in gave up 2 big threes to Stoudemire in the last minute and made the Memphis comeback possible specially with your 5 fouls that resulted in 6 FTs for reach ins.
Jax
WOW how can you put Sasha on Mighty Mouse in the last minute of a game. Terrible decision by Jax and I want him to step up and bench Kobe´s ass once Kobe goes nuts on the floor with the shot attempts. Jax has to use his authority, but he was clearly upset with the entire team. Before the game he called out Bryant to help get the offense back in balance and ripped Odom for shooting 3s instead of driving in the money time. He is a great coach, no question but he has some decisions that are hard to find a reason for.
OK all in all things I want to add why we lost
-4 defensive 3 seconds (4 MADE FTs) by Memphis. Are our bigmen (specially Kwame) that dumb? Hard to believe but ya.
-Kobe´s flagrant foul late in the game just because Miller got into his head early in the game and Kobe can lose you ANY game if someone gets into his head.
-The perimeter defense.
Specially on Eddie Jones and Stoudemire was ONCE AGAIN ridiculous- That way you don´t win a bottle of Coke.
3rd quarter
we score 13 points.
NO BASKET WAS MADE FROM THE 2 POINT AREA. Can you believe it?
we made 4 three pointers and a FT in an entire quarter. Kobe was way too perimeter happy in the period and the rest sucked. At this point I must add when Kobe hadn´t started to take all the shots, the rest couldn´t hit a shot untill the 5th minute when Lamar made a 3. After that Kobe took ALL shots of the quarter and scored all the other points. (10) but once again we broke down in the 3rd. Gimme a break, it was pathetic and simply disgusting.
