If the LAKERS do not make it to the highest level of what us fans expect, then we can upgrade our expectation at that point to take what we can get. That would not be an issue right now. The team crosses the bridge at the path they're traveling. We know they're it's an attempt to win as many games so we don't worry about what if. After the what ifs, then we can deal with the issue at hand.
Many fouls by today standards weren't fouls back then or for the other team but the lakers.
How many times do you get to see all 5 players touch the ball in a play? Lol we need great teamwork and patience from kobe.
Besides Kobe, Fisher, and Pau , are any of their team mates going to get to be a real contender?
Now, all the East and West teams has stepped up their game a lot so the LAKERS players should challenge themselves to play good and does not depend on winning the game by kobe's 40 points.
Since Kobe Bryant was really good at playing basketball the last three to four years and gotten a NBA's MVP award last year... Most fans think they should be eliminated for being the best. Some fans are just exaggerating and unbelievable by their choice of words...
KOBE STILL HAS THE HOPS!!!!!!!!!
He is only 30!!!!!!
Skills + timing + some luck! Kobe and his team mates can still have the most amazing year ever.!!!

LeBron James better than Kobe? I don't think so!!!!! Maybe better than Carmelo Anthony and Dwyane Wade, sure he is making franchise history now, but not yet better than Kobe Bryant . Kobe Bryant had done far too much and made himself as one of the NBA's big attractions.
Yes, Kobe and the Lakers gotten stumped by the Celtics in 2008 Finals, but this time around the TEAM will start slow and when June come, the whole team will regain their stamina and will give full force in their game to WIN that TITLE.

For my Idol, I love the way he plays his game and in my heart and soul, LeBron is the best player in the whole planet, but he is not yet better than kobe . I Know he will win the scoring title this year, the MVP? not enough games to judge and I will wait till after the All Stars weekend or April because that's when you know who is better playmaker of them all.
Win or Loss we are a LAKERS fans. Seeing them relaxing in 4rth quarter made my stomach growl and sure enough, Troy Murphy's buzzer-beating tip-in completed an improbable 118-117 victory over my Los Angeles Lakers tonight.
The Lakers came into the game with seven straight wins, the league's second best record. But even another terrific night from Kobe Bryant, who scored 28 points, wasn't quite enough. Indiana trailed 101-86 at the start of the fourth quarter, but methodically chipped into the lead.
Yeah..Yeah !!! second loss , I have my faith they will come back the next game. it is a sad feeling....
Just for fun, would you laugh with me?
A Trucker's Breakfast
A trucker came in to a truck stop cafe and placed his order. He said ,"I want three flat tires, a pair of headlights, and a pair of running boards."
The new blonde waitress, not wanting to appear stupid, went to the kitchen and said to the cook, "this guy out there just ordered three flat tires, a pair of headlights and a pair of running boards. What does he think this is - an auto parts store?"
"No", the cook said, laughing. "3 flat tires means 3 pancakes, a pair of headlights is two eggs sunny side up, and running boards are two slices of crisp bacon." "Oh, OK," said the blonde. She thought about it for a moment and then spooned up a bowl of beans and gave it to th e customer.
The trucker asked , "What are the beans for, Blondie?"
She replied, "I thought while you were waiting for the flat tires, headlights, and running boards,... you might as well gas up! "
Kobe Bryant gives my little brother a "bf" FFFFFFFFF!!!!!!!
Three years ago, my first project assignment was to write about any sport's Idol. Kobe was/is not my idol but most of my classmates are. Be-known to my knowledge, I will end up my little brother to be his faithful fan. I cannot say single negative word about Kobe around him @ all. @ That time, I didn't think all 6 graders first project assignment was about sports idol; this year my little brother first project assignment is the same. Please help me understand how did he get an F and I had an A?
Both of our Titles and conclusions:
"Kobe Bryant: He's the MJ for a new generation.
Kobe is just breathtaking on the basketball court. He's clutch, he scores at will, and he makes impossible shots, but most fans called his actions as a BULLHOG. "
"My Idol: Kobe Bryant
He really changed the way he plays his game. When he's focus on winning, they're unbeatable and when Kobe is playing at his best, he makes the game easier for everyone on the court, forces everyone to pay attention to him. He applies his experience & talents to both ends of the court His speed can get him anywhere he wants on the court. Once he's drawn defenders, he can find his teammates with a precision pass with either hand. If anyone lays off him at all, he can get to the rim with ease."
