The Lakers and Kobe are arrogant

The Lakers and Kobe are arrogant

Just when it looked like The LA Lakers were set to crush to the one seed out west, and just after an impressive come from behind win against The Utah Jazz at Utah, The Lakers have now dropped 3 straight games. as a life long Laker fan, and knowing this team inside and out, it appears the win at Utah gave The Lakers a sense of “arrogance” as if ” we can come behind from any decifit in any game, and win. During their 3 game losing streak, The Lakers went back to lazy and selfish Basketball, namely Kobe Byrant, holding the ball on offense, allowing defenses to set up in the proper positions, and allowing easy help rotations. Meanwhile, Andrew Bynum continues to post a high field goal percentage during the 3 games, but has not been nearly enough post entries to be an effect scorer. This really bothers me about Kobe and The Lakers. Kobe’s shooting percentage during these 3 games is horrid, as he just continues to insist to put up low percentage shots, hold the ball, dribble into double teams, and try to take over too many games late. The Lakers started off their last loss against The Utah Jazz at home, with good ball movement, post isolation dump offs, and effective pick posting. Bynum gets the ball, Gasol gets the ball, and they ” go to work”… This is what gives The Lakers an advantage over the rest of the NBA.
