The Game sanoi:Jos tappiosta halutaan taas jotain positiivista hakea, niin se on ehdottomasti Earl Clark joka on osoittautumassa tämän kauden Jordan Hilliksi. Clark näyttää olevan kaikkea mitä Lakersin alkukaudesta on puuttunut. Näytönhaluja piisaa ja mies hustlaa ympäri kenttää. Juoksuvoimansa vuoksi sopii D'Antonin filosofiaan ja hyötyy Steve Nashin nerokkuudesta. Clark pystyy 6'10 pitkänä ja vahvarakenteisena puolustamaan monia nelospaikan pelaajia, mutta jalat liikkuivat ajoittain hyvin myös Spursin vikkelämpiä pelaajia vastaan. Vaikuttaa myös clutchilta upotettuaan kolmosen 30sek ennen loppua ja seuraavaksi pakotti Parkerin menetykseen. D'Antoni lupaili jo uusia mahdollisuuksia ja Clarkin esiinmarssi voisi tehdä Pau&Metta kaksikon myymisestä vieläkin helpompaa. Ei ole vaikeaa nähdä miksi Clark varattiin #14 omassa draftissaan, this kid can play!

HelloBrooklyn sanoi:Pakko sieltä jonkun on vähän nousta esiin jos joukkueesta 3 tärkeää kaveria ulkona. Ja yksi heitto sisään viimeisellä minuutilla -> clutch ???
Metta oli ainakin eilen joukkueen paras pelaaja.The Game sanoi:No kiitos kovasti. En ole nostamassa Earl Clarkia avaukseen, mutta olisi miehen peluuttaminen varmasti parempi vaihtoehto kuin Jamisonin tai Mettan peluuttaminen lähemmäs 40 minuuttia.

Jamison toki puolestaan taisi olla joukkueen huonoin.
And it's all for naught. That Kobe is having his most efficient, productive season to date as the Lakers have plummeted to unthinkable depths is perhaps the most fitting event that could possibly happen to the ongoing Kobe Bryant debate. There are many reasons for the failure of this team. We've talked about Dwight. We've talked about Pau. We've talked about injuries and bad luck. But only one man is responsible for ruining Kobe Bryant's historic season: Kobe Bryant.
...
To call Kobe Bryant's defense this season bad is to call the Pacific Ocean big, or the sun hot. He hasn't just been bad and he's not just a liability. His presence on the defensive end of the court has actually become a detriment, in the truest sense of the word. And the worst part? He's not failing to play defense. He has willingly decided that he no longer needs to try.
...
That Kobe Bryant, undisputed leader of this team, needs to be held accountable for horrific effort on defense tells you all you need to know about why this team is playing the way that it is. If the team's defense is terrible, it is because the team's leader is very clearly stating with his play that defense does not matter. If the team lacks chemistry, it is because it is tough to like and respect a guy so clearly hanging you out to dry on the defensive end. If the team's effort is inconsistent, it is because the team's leader only tries half the time. If nobody is doing the little things, it is because the team's leader isn't doing anything he doesn't want to do.
...
One of the most popular compliments to give Kobe Bryant is to talk about how he never gives up. Even when his team is losing, even when things look bleak, he still gives it everything he's got. He's a fighter. All of that remains half true, but his defensive effort, regardless of the score, is so bad that it bathes the whole concept in hypocrisy.
...
Unless things turn around, when history looks back on this ill-fated season, it will be said that one of Kobe Bryant's finest years, perhaps his best year ever, was wasted. One has to wonder if history will remember that Kobe Bryant also did the wasting.
