    Some of the stupidest remarks I've ever heard a coach make. Kobe played well, mostly within the "offense", some nice passes, some actually decent D, and what appeared to me to be some good mentoring to Russ.

    Couple of good quotes from Kobe tonight. First one I'm posting the edited text for swearing

    "I'm just trying to help these young guys honestly. I feel good enough to go out there and score 25 or something like that, but what the hell is that going to do for these guys? It's not going to do a damn thing, and if we are going to try to win games in succession, we have to get better, get better at playing together, get better at spacing, get better at ball movement... Jesus Christ can you believe I'm saying this s***, are you kidding? Sounds like a kid that grows up and starts sounding like his parents"


    This one is also good, and I hope he sticks to his word, because if he plays like tonight from here on out, I'm good with that.

    I was listening to the Toronto Raptors announcers and they were complimenting Kobe on how he was guiding the players on the court and saying Kobe had a bigger impact on the game than the numbers indicated. I thought that was pretty cool to hear and I actually enjoyed listening to them even aside from their compliments towards kobe.

    From an earlier interview Byron gave about limiting Kobe's minutes.

    Boron logic, trying to win by running Kobe to the ground and limiting our young guys minutes!

    I feel like a broken record at this point.

    Byron really is just making things up as he goes along and pays no attention to the big picture.

    Every time Kobe logs more than 30 minutes Scott should get zapped by a shock collar set on high.

    Playing Kobe damn near forty minutes for the second game in three. I was fine with it on Sunday because he was gonna have five days off, but to do it again is egregious. This guy literally cannot do anything right. His horrible rotations are bad enough. Can't manage Kobe's minutes right. His horrible defensive scheme. I'm beyond done with him.

    Kobe as for his actual game played well again. He talked about moving the ball and he's done it the last two games. Not really hurting the team with how he's playing right now. Took only twelve shots and while he only made five of them he's not preventing Jordan or D'Angelo from orchestrating things more.

    I'll be honest, if you're going to allow Kobe to continue the chucking with zero accountability, run him 48 minutes so his other achilles snaps and we can get on with the rebuild and put the ball in Russell's hands. Last night was the first night where Kobe kind of sort of helped the young kids along, but I can't expect that to happen for the next 60 games. This was likely an aberration, not some new norm. Which is unfortunate because this was, IMO, the first time all 3 of them played well at the same time.

    I thought Kobe's first quarter was his best quarter of the season so far. I thought he played pretty well overall too.

    37 minutes? #Boron

    I just wish Kobe would chill on the threes (and play a few fewer minutes each game). Last three games:

    35 MPG
    14-30 on 2s
    6-6 on FTs
    (4-17 on 3s)
    15.3 points
    5.7 ast
    5.7 reb
    1.3 steals
    +/- of +17
