Neither plays any defense at this point so it's not like that matters :manny:

watch some games before you talk about Kobe's defense:camby:

And the Lakers would have a much better record if they didn't get called for every foul possible. They lead the league in fouls called against them, and have actually had multiple nights where they made more field goals on a much better percentage than the other team and lost. It's just absolutely ridiculous.

I can verify that the quote is not made up.

Who made the statement, when was was it made, who was it made to, what statement or question was said statement uttered in response to, was there any follow up statement from the declarant.

Go ahead and verify

What's failed Kobe Bryant, and his stans, is reality. There's no one left to blame for his failures anymore so they resort to living in a fantasy world of fairy tales and duck tales.
Kobe has one of the 2 worst supporting casts in the NBA right now, but if they weren't tanking they would probably be 7-9 instead of 3-13.

A 36 year old Kobe Bryant has the ability to will a team full of 8th man level players to victory solely by playing "the right way".
They are not tanking. They are simply the worst team in professional basketball. Kobe Bryant has no reason to tank, and he's too stubborn and proud to ever "play bad on purpose." His best simply isn't very good.

:russ: Kobes defense is as horrific as your defense of his defense.

“Once we get that established, the referees will know we’re going to play a physical brand of basketball,” Byron Scott said. “Then some of those things will go away.”

“We want to be a physical defensive team. Sometimes you have to play that way and have refs understand you play that way,” Kobe Bryant said. “Then the rep becomes that you’re a physical team and you put bodies on bodies. It might be a little ugly and might have a lot of fouls. But that’s the style we want to play.”

That's the defensive philosophy of the team. They leave 3 point shooters wide open and hack the shyt out of anyone who comes inside. Maybe you should also bring up the fact that the Lakers shoot the 3rd most free throws even though they have minimal inside game and no slashers :camby: It seems to me that they give the Lakers a ridiculous amount of free throws to try to even things out. The refs love the Lakers and the team still sucks.
