Yes, he almost cost us the game, but it's real disappointing when overallhe has a good night/statline, but some fans here and around the world always point out what he did/does wrong instead of praising Pau for what he did right. _________________ "It doesn't matter how hard you try because you can always try as hard as you want, but its how smart you play"-Phil Jackson advice to Kobe

Kobe only took 19 shots and dished out 7 assists. So what's the excuse now for his teammates not showing up and pau playing soft and choking yet again? it's is now proven that kobe's teammates are lazy and treat him as a safety net. And bynum starting is the major problem.
Easily has to be a career year for him on game winners. In fact, I'm sure they don't keep the stat, but I don't remember a player ever hitting so many game winners in a season before--has to be a record.
Sucks to struggle against a weak team, but losing like that has to hurt so much more for Memphis.

Pau was lousy...but I wouldn't rag on him so much as I would on Odom and Bynum
Pau missed a point blank shot and 2 FTs though... _________________ "Now, if life is coffee, then the jobs, money & position in society are the cups.

I don't understand with Kobe on the court, how he just can't find his spots and dominate out there.
He we so great when Kobe was out, and as soon as he's back - he just goes back to watching him - you would think the court would open up even more for Odom, but somehow he always just disappears.
Hes got that one drive from the key that can be so effective, but he seems to make up his mind before he even starts driving whats hes going to do - and at least twice tonight led to turnover or an easy charge call.
As physical imposing he is, I just think he just is not that smart - and hurts the team, constantly.

Look at the kind of shots Pau was missing. When you're that close to the basket and clanking shots, that's as good as a turnover.
I don't want to bag on Pau too much, but he has been quite vocal this year about his touches. And he just hasn't been sharp for any sustained period of time. He's definitely not the Pau of 08-09. That guy had a chip on his shoulder and played like it every game.
And the late game tightness is a big concern. Missing chippies, FTs when the heat is on. I don't know...but Kobe is not gonna be able to pull us out of every fire every time. It would be nice to see some late game execution. He ain't gotta be a hero. Just make the plays presented to him. _________________ So glad we gave you your flowers while you were here, Kobe.

Was anyone watching it?
The dudes knew every shot Kobe was taking would go in.
As soon as Kobe released the GW they immidiately said "its in."
Another funny thing was when OJ Mayo was going to the FT line and they were like "OJ is always making shots in the crunch with a no emotion face when shooting" or some crap like that then they were continuing on and on then he just bricks and they're flabagasted. LOLWUT

i'll do it for you then.
pau has made some noise about touches and ball movement. there was plenty of both tonight. a lot of it was initiated by kobe. in fact, there were times where he over passed...there was a fast break where he should have given it up to farmar and a couple of other plays where i thought he was going to shoot, but he passed...his team mates didn't expect that.
but back to pau, he was getting the ball towards the end of the game. he was given opportunity, after opportunity to either get the shot off or do something eles, but he didn't deliever. was this only one game? yup! but he was taking points to the media about these things. then choking at the line?
dude went 8-18. maybe if he had more opportunities, he'll get better. the problem is, there's the guy who eats first. there's a reason why THAT GUY eats first. _________________ 'How many kids can say growing up that they'll turn pro and play for their favorite team in the world and spend your entire career there?

I fell out laughing when I saw that episode cause it was soooo true. I don't think I got near a chicken breast til I was a teenager. _________________ So glad we gave you your flowers while you were here, Kobe.
