Sourpussy - The 2007 Laker Season
Well, I have attempted to ignore the daily drama swirling around the Lakeshow these days, but with the opener last night, I thought I would share some of my feelings. If you can’t guess from the title, Laker fans are getting a bit tired of Kobe’s act. Quick review - fans and the organization stood right behind Kobe when he was on trial for rape… Quite a contrast to Michael Vick, eh? Ever since then, Kobe has decided to run his mouth about everyone who surrounds him, the management, his teammates - everybody. The same teammates who stood around and watched him score 81 points in a game. Trust me, if he does go - there will be fewer tears shed than you may think.
About the game. I had deja vu’ last night. I had watched this game before - Oh wait, I know - just about every single loss they had last year looked like last night. Kobe’s shot wasn’t falling in the first half, but still the Lakers were able to build a lead. Kobe keeps shooting, despite the fact that his teammates are hitting. Things would have been fine had Kobe relinquished the ball more in the third quarter. As a leader of the team, he should be worried about directing the offensive flow and creating a rhythm. We all know and expect him to take all of the shots at the end of the game - that’s fine. Its the 2 of 10 shooting in the 3rd that loses leads and sinks your team.
I am still convinced Kobe is not going anywhere. I don’t know if its possible, but I would like to see him evolve into a true general on the floor in LA. I see that Luke Walton cut his hair this year - too bad, we all know how Kobe likes white chicks.

On the radio, they ended up saying the same thing that they said about Grady’s future… “Make a decision already,” if Kobe is your leader say he wont be traded and move on. If you want to trade him tell him and everybody and then start to find a new leader.
made sense to me…
