at the commercial, i was totally thinking double team kobe and let someone else take the shot...i turned away for a second and looked up to see kobe with a wide open 3. i know people said they he pushed off on sergio but if he was double teamed at least one person might have had a hand in his face...but he probably would have made it anyways 
but the real story is......
1. kobe left the old man at home with the stove on.
2. made five thousand babies cry....
3. He IS OBL
4. starved a couple of people then just fed em cause he wanted to...

In other news, what was up wth the random technical on Omri?
Sergio hasn't played well the last month. He's played better the last two games, but continue's to make bone-headed plays. He has no control of the offense.The Sergio bashing hasn't been EVERY SINGLE GAME. He wasn't even in the rotation for a couple weeks. But as fans, fans will always point out when a player doesn't play well.
That being said, Sergio isn't the reason we lost. Missed ft's of course contributed. So did the fact JT didn't score a single point, which is a bigger deal to me.

Nothing conclusive,at least not the LA feed I'm getting on League Pass.He was right in front of our bench. Someone would have jumped if he was out of bounds. So you reviewed it a million times and you are 100% sure?Jim Ayen(?) the assisstant was pointing to the line as Kobe jumped to his shot spot but moved his pointing finger back as Kobe landed... You know .. I bet he landed in bounds.
Very good points. The shut out of JT bothered me more than many other things.As for Hawes, I cannot get excited about a 7 foot center who is a long range jump shooter. Bargnani had way more games like that than Spencer and I still think it is not getting you anywhere in the long run.The shots were falling tonight and were almost enough against the world champs(actually they beat the world champs if it wasn't for the missed ft) but if they don't fall you have nothing to work with cause you have no inside play.Having said that,If he goes tomorrow toe to toe with Nowitzki I will be impressed.
This Kings team peaked too early in the game. They played an almost perfect half then seemed to come out a bit tentative in the 3rd quarter with a 'Hold-On' mentality rather than the killer instinct you need.
I'll be honest that I felt sick to my stomach after that last play.
We can cast blame all around for this particular loss. It's easy to blame Udoka for missing the two free-throws, but he wasn't the only one to miss tonight.
But do you know what I like?
This team KNOWS it can come out and beat any team in the League. And this team has only been together for about 30 games. Think what it will be like 2,3,4 years down the line when they've really matured and learned how to handle big leads and tough situations.
Don't you think that a loss like this will just fire this team up even more? I'm certain it will.
I wanted this win so badly, but I'm certain that the players and coaches wanted it far more than I.
I will say one thing. If we had an interior defender we'd have won this game. That is clear as day.
So I'm expecting to see a move being made to pick one up, because it's clear we can compete with any team, and can probably win more times than not if we get someone to anchor the middle on the defensive end against players like Gasol, Bynum, Nene, ect.
And as much as I hate it, if Kobe misses that shot we win the game. Regardless of him pushing off or potentially being out of bounds, he hit the shot.
I'll go into the Office on Monday and hear it from all the Laker fans down here in Orange County, but do you know what all of them will say?
They will tell me, "Wow, the Kings are looking really good." And they will be right.
Go Kings!

First it was JT. Then Hawes. Then Noc. Now Sergio. Its always going to be someone.
By the way, I'm not bashing Sergio, just pointing out why he gets picked on and the fact that its always going to be someone. Saying "he sucks" is bashing. Saying "bench him because he's taking bad shots" isn't bashing. Those are just examles btw.

according to some fans it seems like "kobe" should be replaced with
just last month sergio was doing everything right and now almost everyone seemed to have turned on him. i dont think he was playing as horrible as beno was last year and its not like every other player on this team doesnt make mistakes here and there.
but the real story is......
1. sergio left the old man at home with the stove on.
2. sergio made five thousand babies cry....
3. sergio IS OBL
4. sergio starved a couple of people then just fed em cause he wanted to...

It is not sure at all. You don't have his shoe on the line. Non of the cameras caught that. It sure looks like is not "here is the line crossing his shoe". Ayen was pointing to the line as Kobe was in mid air and relaxed as he landed WHILE STILL LOOKING AT HIS FEET.. You have a better angle than the one he had?
Yeah, because the LA feed is reviewing it to see if Cryant was in bounds or not...?
They don't care. They're too busy stuffing their plastic faces with free tacos.

53 second mark. Sergio attempts to slow or stop to avoid the foul, Kobe doesn't and clearly collides with Sergio, uses his elbow to create space. That's a foul.
