    BTW, Kobe passed 33,000 points, and we said almost nothing about it.

    He looks a lot better, but I think a lot of that is attributed to him getting back in playing shape and taking a bunch of games off. I'm okay with that plan.

    As for the final shot... He shouldn't have taken it. Lou had a fourth quarter that we haven't seen in a long time. Why wouldn't you give him the shot? He earned it. Kobe should have been used as a decoy.

    Also congrats on 33K!

    Definitely should have been a decoy.

    The plan was to let the rookie with 200 minutes of PT make the decision - Kobe or Lou. He chose Kobe.

    Well it shouldn't have been his choice then. A better coach might have called a better play.

    Brown is a D League player. Putting a game winning decision in his hands when you desperately needs wins and have done a terrible coaching job?

    Byron is either supremely confident he's untouchable or extremely stupid.

    I pick door number 2

    See what I did there. Number 2. [​IMG]

    Smart to not push it. Sit out as long as he needs too. With all his injuries we can't have him suffer a career ending injury. That would just devastating for him to go out that way.

    I want to punch B0ron in his stupid face.. He forgot all about it after being told?! F*** this clown. First he plays him too many minutes to start the season, now he's mismanaging his injuries. That and Kobe doesn't respect him anyway, as apparent by refusing to come out of the game for Anthony Brown. There was no confusion, he was supposed to come out and he said no.

    Wait so the Lakers said this season is all about Kobe and now we found out he was playing with a strained Achilles on Friday and our d****** coach forgot. So what will this season be about when Byron ends his career?

    Your star player with a previously torn Achilles says his Achilles hurts and you don't remember that?

    Is this dude that stupid?

    This is all the more insane considering that both he and Magic tore their hamstrings due to Riley overworking them.

    So this is the other achilles, not good. Last thing Kobe needs is to end his career by blowing out the other one.
