Let's put our heads together. Three things we can do to fix this, ASAP. All remotely reasonable suggestions will be heard :)

1. 1st unit: DAR/JC/KB/JR/RH; bench: Huertas/Williams/Young/Bass/Black
2. Hard 28 minute limit for Kobe.
3. Pick and roll the hell out of it on offense - with DAR and JC with the ball, Kobe in the post.

For nearly two decades, Kobe Bryant has been the Los Angeles Lakers security blanket, providing comfort in the darkest moments. When Shaquille O’Neal fouled out in Game 4 of the 2000 Finals, a 22 year old Kobe took over and landed the victory plane. When Shaq was dealt to Miami, there was Kobe-prime, hauling the likes of Kwame Brown and Smush Parker to the playoffs. And when the Steve Nash/Dwight Howard era imploded on creaky legs and petulance, Bryant was there, giving everything he had, Achilles included.

Unfortunately, those days are over. A diminished Mamba can no longer carry the team on his back, and the announcement that he will retire at the conclusion of the season means that the light at the end of the tunnel is now glowing brighter than ever.

Does anyone take this dude seriously anymore? I was watching inside the NBA and he said the Lakers haven't drafted guys who can help immediately. Really? Clarkson as a second round pick was an immediate help once he starting getting consistent minutes last season and has progressed even further this season.

Then he talks about how they should've drafted Okafor over Russell. Talk about contradiction. During he draft he said D'Angelo was the best player in the draft and now he says they shouldn't have drafted him.

The Sixers just won their first game and considering Okafor just got suspended how exactly would he have helped us immediately over Russell? He's putting up great numbers. Good for him and they're 1-19 so obviously the great stats aren't leading to many wins.

I don't have any problem with saying Jahlil should've been the selection. I take issue with anyone who says that Russell was the best player and now it's a mistake. What about Julius Randle? Who should they have...
