Normally I would be drunk, but not this time. The D is good. They are never going to be an elite defensive team. That's not the philosophy in L.A. They allow under 100 ppg. Their offense needs to step up. When Kobe was out, the team showed they can lay a beating on any team. They played better without Kobe those 5 games. 4 wins, 1 loss to Boston. Kobe comes back into the lineup and the offense starts sputtering. He's hurt, and he's bringing down the team. He needs to realize he will be more effective facilitating than scoring. He could easily put up 15-12-8 numbers if he passed the ball more. He has superstars like Gasol, Artest, Bynum and Odom who can score. He doesn't have to take the game winning shot. L.A should be blowing these teams out of the water. No offense Plasma, I'm a Raptor fan too, but L.A should have never lost the first game, and they shouldn't have let them hang around this time. It's frustrating losing to teams like Toronto, Miami, Charlotte and so forth.
I'm rambling on here, but my point is, the D is good enough to win games. Kobe is hurt, and he needs to sit, or start passing the ball more. If Kobe passes more than he shoots, L.A is unbeatable.
Also, they should be going to the inside more. Bynum/Gasol is too much for any team to handle. If they can play a dominant game, it'll just make it easier for Artest, Kobe and Fisher to nail their jump shots.
3-0. You have L.A's number too.Hopefully we don't see the Bobcats in the Finals. If we get there.

Theyve always played well against my Magic as well. What the hell?
Larry Brown knows how to build a team. We have made great trades since he has been here. The one bad move was trading Shannon Brown to L.A.
It makes more sense than any other team. Clippers are stacked, adding Lebron would have title written all over it.
C - Kaman
PF - Griffin
SF - Lebron
SG - Gordon
PG - Davis
That's an elite starting lineup. And you still have Butler, Outlaw, Blake and Jordan coming off the bench.
No doubt that was a mistake on Charlotte's part. I would take Shannon Brown (& Adam Morrison, if that's the way it has to go down) for Vlad Radmanovich a million times over. Thanks for that :thumbsup:
Charlotte (Hornets) also drafted Kobe Bryant and traded him to L.A.
*Huge Facepalm*
But you guys got Vlade Divac in return. :1orglaugh
Are the Bobcats the scariest seed in the East?

Not really, we all knew what Hughes brings, cant create his own shot.

He will be a role player anyway.
We got one of the best starting 5 in the East already and some good players coming off the bench.
