If Kobe dominates the ball so much, how can our other players develop their games, specifically Odom and Kwame? I don't like the trend of our players standing around watching Kobe shoot over a double team. Yeah, lately he's hit some of those shots, but Kobe's teammates defer to Kobe way too much. This needs to change if the Lakers are to have any long term success.

Let's be honest: Odom had just 8 points not because Kobe didn't give him the ball, but because he passed it to Kobe watching him.
This team is just made of players like Brown and Odom who doesn't like to shoot the ball and who likes to give the ball to Kobe.
Put Cedric Ceballos (lol) in this team and he could make 20 shots per game easly.
It's just that Odom is fine working hard on defense and handling the ball.

With Kobe playing this good, the other players are expected less of...It takes a lot of pressure off them. I think long-term wise, this will be good. I know they're all currently thinking about how to contribute offensively, especially after being outscored by Kobe 81-43. The shots just need to fall...It's like sometimes they do and sometimes they don't. The other Lakers need to build efficiency, because when they do play, they're great...Sometimes they count on Kobe to bail them out though. I'd prefer to see the whole team play amazing, but this was simply awesome...

Yea, I've come to accept that Odom will never be primarily about offensive aggression, but more about understanding the spots on the floor and setting others up...I think Bynum and Wafer are gunna be offensive threats for us in years to come. For now, Kobe is the primary offense in the triangle...Defensively, I'm extremely proud of all the Lakers though...

Yeah, defensively both Brown and Odom are playing very well.
