Have desperate times in Laker land called for desperate measures for the purple and gold? Convincing one of the greatest shooting guards of all time to play more like a point guard seemingly would qualify. Kobe Bryant might have tied a season low with just 14 points in the Lakers' 102-84 win over the Utah Jazz on Friday, but he racked up 14 assists in the rout. Even though Bryant ended up scoring less than half of his 28.9 points per game average, good for third best in the league, Lakers coach Mike D'Antoni said it shouldn't be looked at like a "sacrifice" by the All-Star guard. "If you win, is it really a sacrifice or is it, 'Yeah, you played the right way?' " D'Antoni said after practice Saturday. "I don't know if it was a sacrifice, is all, but (Bryant) set the tone. There's no doubt about it. He played like Oscar Robertson played back in the day -- 14 assists, nine rebounds, and he got easy shots all over the place. Some nights it's 14 points, some nights it's 30 points, but he'll read the defense." Source: ESPN
Kobe'll like the Big O reference...for 'bout a second. Then he'll go right back to 'bombs away' cuz his ego wouldn't want it any other way...
The team is a mess and Mikey D is a big reason because he is a terrible HC. This makes me laugh like this.... [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y62iU7PgQ2U]Family Guy - Stewie's laugh - YouTube[/ame] [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pZxZvfohM4I]Family Guy - The 1Hz laugh! - YouTube[/ame]
