Kobe says Lakers record is just like the rest of the team...
Sccit:
kobe is not satisfied with being a game over .500.... kobe is a winner and d'antoni is still tryna get there. phil jackson would've agreed with kobe.
kobe's never gunna be satisfied reachin for .500, even if d'antoni is.
either way, any1 talkin shit about kobe is a complete idiot and has no idea about the game of basketball...it's his second game back comin from an achilles injury and 8 months of no basketball. it's obviously guna take some time to get back to game-speed. fall back, cocksuckers.

Like the fun they were having was gone. These guys were a game over .500, WAY better than anyone expected. I'm sure they knew they weren't in the hunt for the title, but they were exciting to watch and could give people a run for their money. To hear their "leader" giggle at their record and dismiss it like that probably isn't a great feeling. Of course, Kobe knows that he'll only have to deal with some of these guys next season, so he doesn't care about their feelings. He could've worded that differently. Good for D'Antoni for coming to his teams defense though.

lol, lets dismiss kobe, the understudy of phil jackson, and back d'antoni, who just called our defense "good" when were 19th in the league smfh....
what d'antoni is doing is the opposite of phil jackson. he does not know how to psychologically motivate players. kobe is striving to get better, while d'antoni is telling the players "we're fine where we are"=the anti-phil
quite obvious who's the champ here.......come on, now
whoisthis:
Right. Kobe isn't satisfied with that record and that's fine. But part of being a leader is knowing how to handle your guys. He knows they played above their head to even get that record. To dismiss what they did like that isn't good for morale. That's the point. This isn't Boxing, MMA or Golf. There's a whole team around you that you need help from. Why not say "the guys played hard, we're not where we want to be but we'll get there." Everyone remains happy. You expressed that the record isn't to your liking. You move on. Phil Jackson may have agrees but he was also tactful in what he had to say and made sure whatever he said had a purpose.
D'Antoni isn't Phil. No way. He was a mistake. But, the organization hired him, not Kobe, to coach. It's his job to figure out how to keep these guys motivated. Kobe crushing their record doesn't help that. D'Antoni doesn't belong coaching pro ball. He'd be better off in College. That's a true fact. But as a head coach what would you want his response to be? "Kobe is right. We weren't good at all. Thank God he's back!" He's got a whole locker room of guys who are unhappy. He's gotta back up the team. Regardless of what Phil taught Kobe. Regardless of the rings Kobe has on his hand. He has to keep these guys motivated.

the point is, kobe wants them to try harder and get BETTER...it's what phil jackson would've done, as well. trust me. d'antoni is an idiot, why would u even defend him? he's the anti-phil...even if he thought kobe was wrong, he shoulda never said what he said. either way, he's wrong, because he's sending 2 messages "we're fine where we are" and "the team should be upset at kobe for talking like that"....instead of sending a positive message "kobe is right, we need to strive to get better so we can compete" and "the team needs to adjust to Kobe's game so that we can become more than just a .500 team". do like phil and use motivational tools, as opposed to goin against the franchise player by acting content being average....the guy is a moron, and theres not many people out there who will tell u differently. lucky for us, we still have some pretty good assistants.
whoisthis:
No good leader would that. D'Antoni would lose the locker room if he did that. He has to remind the rest of the team that he's behind them. You have to be real here. If he agrees with Kobe he loses the buy in.
