Game Thread: Lakers Vs Pelicans Nov 12, 2014

This is looking not so good as the Lakers are once again letting Kobe play and they stand around and watch and then when they get a chance to shoot like Hill, they miss.

Kobe better try and facilitate when Young gets back.

 

[Black Adam]

Kobe has already played 22 minutes, way too many minutes.

Byron said he'd play less minutes. He definitely should stick to that...

 

[Retroram52]

Hey CL67, I think Kobe has resigned himself to just go after personal goals like another scoring title and things of that nature than actually entertain the notion that team ball is a something he would like to buy into. And others let him do that and this is the same thing we have game in and game out. When Kobe keeps missing, then we have these deficits and we can't come back from them.

I'd limit him to 32-33mpg.

 

[Retroram52]

And then the D folds and this is what we get.

Like I said, when the offense stalls, Kobe is basically the only guy who can consistently create his own shot. I don't want him playing so many minutes either but if you take him out you basically have 6 players who deserve more than 5 minutes in the game. X came back from injury early so I have him pretty low on my list, Kelly might be a little banged up as well or out of rhythm.

 

[Retroram52]

Johnson hits a three. That helps.

He had 6 assists in the win and already has 4 tonight.

He's shooting a lot, but I've said this before, he's the only volume scorer we have.

I don't mind that Kobe gets his personal goals...as long as it doesn't cost the team games...

 

[Retroram52]

Yea Outlaw. I don't know why others on this roster cannot create their own shot because we are still looking for the number two scorer.

+1

 

[Retroram52]

Down by nine after three.

 

[DJ]

I'd rather Kobe take 20-plus shots than Boozer.

 

[Black Adam]

I'd limit him to 32-33mpg.

Especially if he's gonna continue to play hero ball...

 

[DJ]

Off topic alert: NY is struggling with Orlando.

Yea, that is part of the problem. We don't have another volume scorer that is as consistent as Kobe and that is what is killing us. WE get behind early and can't get out of the deficits because of it.

 

[Retroram52]

Didn't Jrue Holiday have a cup of coffee with the Lakers?

 

[Inimical]

Had kobe shot a free throw he's been fouled at least 4 times clearly

 

[Retroram52]

This is getting ridiculous.
