The Lakers just had too many issues going around. I don't think it would've mattered who came in after Rudy T, things wouldn't have gotten better.

T-Wolves are in a completely different situation than the Lakers...The T-Wolves stayed with basically the same roster, but have been playing shitty due to injuries (Cassel), lack of ambition (Sprewell), and subsiding chemistry...Lakers, on the other hand, are a brand new team who are yet to play together as a team...That's where the need for a fitting coach steps in...Lakers can easily be so much more than what they are...PeACe

thats what im sayin tho, they lost hope when Rudy T retired. It was Kobe's job to get the team going, he's supposed to be the leader. The coach is the coach, but every team needs a leader on the floor, in the locker room, etc. Kobe didnt step up to that challenge.

Hell yea Kobe did...Kobe's been guiding the players more than Frank Hamblen, don't you ever see him play? All of LA has been talking about how Kobe is doing Hamblen's job, encouraging the players, letting them know when they're playing out of position, etc....It's been known...But obviously, they still need a coach...The Bulls wouldn't have gone anywhere if Jordan was their only coach...

It has nothing to do with the scheduale, Lakers have had a pretty evened out scheduale, it's just that they've been losing to good AND bad teams lately...Kobe's the only part of the organization that isn't the problem...

How is Kobe the only part that isn't a problem? He doesn't trust his teammates or give them a chance to play. Why do you think that everybody is standing around watching Kobe? It reminds me of that movie "Celtic Pride." The Utah Jazz have a player who never passes the ball, so his teammates just watch. At the end of the movie, he does pass the ball and it smacks his teammate in the side of the head because he didn't expect it.
Anyway, that just popped in my head. I'm not trying to start an argument, I just want to know your view of how Kobe isn't a problem in the organization.
