Who's fault?: Kobe, D'Antoni, or entire team?

1. They are too old.
2. They are too slow.
3. They don't play together.
4. They don't trust each other.

Really! Did you watch the Bulls game? lol

Kobe is hurting his team with his horrible shooting and consistent shotjacking. However I will admit that other players on the Lakers suck like MWP. MWP thinks he has a 3-point shot and shoots it at the most inopportune times just praying it'll go in. lol

Steve Nash is too afraid to shoot when he has the opportunity.

I agree with you that Kobe isn't the only problem with the Lakers. Oh, and Dwight Howard is an All-Star? Lol Give me a break!

The Lakers should have paid Bynum enough money to stay, and should have never ever run Odom away. They need Odom's 15 to 20 ppg performances.

The Bulls didn't even have Deng, and the Lakers still lost. BLOW UP THE LAKERS and rebuild again. : )

OUCH! lol : ) +1

Let's not forget either that Dwight Howard sucks! The only way he can score is if he dunks it. lol HOW SAD!!

If everyone sucks then how is it solely on Kobe's shoulders? Your argument is ridiculous and your schtick is getting tiresome.

And for the record, we suck.

@XxIRVINGxX!!

How ironic! I've been talking about Kobe's ballhogging and shotjacking. Sure enough instead of focusing on the upcoming Memphis Grizzlies, Kobe will be tweeting with the world about his 81 point game against the piece-of-cake Toronto Raptors. Go figure. : )

From what Woj is saying the Lakers front office doesn't want to trade Gasol without dumping some salary. It's pretty hard to see how they can trade him without taking back a similar salary load and still get better. I don't know how accurate that is, but I couldn't blame Jimbo for not wanting to pay a butt load of tax for this particular team.

I honestly wouldn't be too surprised if they dumped Howard at the trading deadline right now. If you were smart about, perhaps you end up with a roster that compete next year.

I never said everyone on the Lakers suck! Kobe is fantastic, but the problem is that he ballhogs too much. He needs to somehow get his team going instead of shooting low percentage shots. Also, why in the world does MWP attempt inopportune threes? The ball movement with the Lakers is horrible too.

Also, Dwight Howard is a joke! lol No way in the world should he be an All-Star starter. Perfect example of stat-inflation!

How long before they acknowledge reality and ship Howard to Atlanta for Horford and Lou Williams? That's what I'm wondering. I don't think that anyone values Gasol enough to eat Artest's deal at this point.

Look on the bright side Lakers fans! : ) The hole would be twice as deep if Derek Fisher were still a Laker! lol Sorry, I had to squeeze that one out. : )

Dude you need to stop trolling, otherwise you are looking at a suspension.

Fair warning.

Jimbo would have to acknowledged he ****ed up, and I am not sure his ego will let him do that.

Yeah, but turning Injured Andy into Horford & Teague is still a pretty good deal.

But, but, but...Dwight Howard is the greatest of all time! I mean, ask any of the fools who were creaming all over themselves just to Photoshop Howard into a Laker uni and they will tell you that!!

Trading him now, that would be...wow, that would be Communistic!

Can't do that!

[Cajon]

Entire team - players, coaching staff and FO...



...but based on your track record, it's absolutely Kobe's so why bother giving options? Should've named the thread "it's Kobe's fault".
