Maybe I'm not explaining myself correctly. All I'm saying is Kobe should facilitate more than score right now. You guys don't agree with that??

^ Maybe your not watching the games enough. Kobes assist numbers don't look good but everybody on this team is getting enough touches.
The last people that should be getting the ball more is Blake and Ron

You are not watching the games. Stop it. Kobe should score, as long as he is shooting 50% or above and continuously driving to the hoop like he has been. The only thing to critique Kobe's game so far is his turnovers.
Kobe is not the problem right now. Nash is averaging 4-5 assists a game. You don't think that's a problem? It's the system. Watch the games before spewing nonsense.

SHUGES: u know my feelings on Kobe, and they haven't changed. I definitely agree that he should worry about facilitating more.
HOWEVA... you put Steve Blake and Ron Artest in the same breath as 'solid shooters'. The only way that should happen is if the sentence is 'Steve Blake and Ron Artest are not solid shooters.'
I still have the same criticism I've ever had of Kobe, but he's not the problem. We haven't had a dominant center in like forever, and you can tell the team is confused on what to do with their new toy. Everyone wants to pass to him, and our every opponent sees it.
Oh, and Pau is still soft as wet tissue. He is literally getting the ball ripped out of his hands. >:

I think he should always be looking to facilitate more, period. There's no need to jack up forced shots.
Gasol looks so freakin' lost on both ends, it's frustrating to see that as well.
The flow is not there, they don't seem natural. Everything looks like they're trying to stick to a script. Just run the offense, play basketball.

SKA is correct. Pau is getting out-rebounded by shorter small forwards and guards. It's disgusting how he doesn't box out anybody.
It's small things like that, that piss me off.
Another problem I have with Kobe is that dude is not sticking to his man on defense. Nobody is rotating on time on the defensive end.
Dwight needs to keep the ball above the shoulders once he gets an offensive rebound and just put it back in the hoop. I hate how he brings the ball back down and then gets stripped. That's stuff you learn playing JV basketball.
The biggest problems are on the defensive end. The offense will work its way out. We should be a top 3 defensive team. There is no excuse.

Come on man. Don't come off in this thread acting like you know the chief reasons behind our winless record. Somebody calls you out on it and you backpedal into your default "Kobe should pass more" response. You could name about 10 problems plaguing the Lakers before you get to Kobe's pass frequency/shot selection.
Now, that's been a legitimate problem in the first three games this year. Kobe loves to cheat off the ball and gets caught....often.

When did i say Kobe is never at fault through out his career? Clearly it's not Kobe fault right now that the Lakers is 0-3. Anyone who think otherwise is just simply hating.
You're a real Lakers fan but you said Kobe been a Lakers for 15 years? It's 17 years dude. Real Lakers fan my @%.

Just get out of this thread. If you want to be taken seriously go watch the games at least.
Kobe has not been ball hogging AT ALL this season. He shot more the last game because Nash and Dwight were not in the game (injury and foul trouble). He has also been shooting 61% from the field.
In fact, him trying to distribute is the main cause of his turnovers.

I think the problem is every one passes way too much and is causing too many turnovers

I agree. They over pass, and players in unfamiliar spots easily being stripped from behind or some passes being forced in traffic.

A rout.. I honestly can't remember the last rout we had? I'm guessing against the Cavs a few years back, but don't remember any from last year.
