		<description>Kurt,

I didn&#039;t think my comment was insulting.  What&#039;s wrong with a little ribbing from a Laker fan to a Kings fan?  It wasn&#039;t personal.  He came here to speak his mind that our team isn&#039;t at a  &quot;championship&quot; or &quot;elite&quot; yet, and I merely hinted that the Kings fans have never experienced one to know the difference.  C&#039;mon.  We have to protect our turf.  You can&#039;t tell me you haven&#039;t had some back and forth with Ziller.</description>

		<description>They were toying with the Kings alright.  You didn&#039;t sense anyone being overly serious about anything, very casual, nobody really pressed, everyone gambling on defense, never really putting their hands up to contest shots, scrambling for blocks and leaving their feet... 

It&#039;s just that if they actually want to win something, they should seriously learn to put the other team away after 3 quarters and let 10-12 play.  Annerving.</description>

		<description>Our D wasn&#039;t as cohesive as it should be, definitely, although we still maintain active hands (11 steals). Watching Kobe for a few possessions, I really wish he would stop gambling and play solid fundamental defense. He won&#039;t be this athletic his whole career, and now is a great time for him to start to make the adjustment. There isn&#039;t too much about offense that Kobe can teach himself at this stage in his career. IMHO, Kobe wants his career to mirror (and exceed) Jordan&#039;s career. But the DPOY is a different award now, and steals can&#039;t win you the trophy (ask Chris Paul about that one).

Brian Shaw always seemed to play underrated defense on the 3peat teams. I know that he is the Lakers&#039; assistant coach. We need B-Shaw to calm that guy Kobe down a bit, and convince him that lockdown D is the only way to his DPOY trophy.

As an aside, if 8 players scoring double digits isn&#039;t toying with another team, what qualifies? When a cat is playing with a mouse, it *almost* lets the squeaker get away only to pounce on it as it is making a run for daylight.</description>

		<description>The Defense was bad last night but I would argue that the main reason was that we turned the ball over too much and then did not get back in transition.  The Lakers played great defense for the last 7 minutes (minus one play where they did not rotate back to cover the back door cut by one of the Kings big men) holing the Kings to 7 points to put the game away. The Lakers also did not turn the ball over during that stretch which helped. 

Sloppy game, defense was slow and uninspired but a W is a W. Hopefully next game they come out with more intensity on the defensive end.</description>

		<description>I think our Defense was bad last night because of 1) our turnovers and 2) our guard play (especially Jordan on defense, who let Bobby Brown torch him). 

The Kings have lots of young talent, and shouldn&#039;t be overlooked when talking about teams of the future.</description>

		<description>Just saw the Fox showing of Game 4, 2002 Playoffs against Sac where Kobe misses a one foot driving shot that Shaq picks up and then he misses the putback and  then the ball ends up in Horry&#039;s hands beyond the arc for that last second shot to win the game by one point.  The good old days...

Next up New Jersey on Tuesday.</description>

		<description>I should add though that it was mostly the turnovers and transition D that were severly lacking tonight.  Our defense (like any other defense) is most effective when it can get set and dictate to the offense.  Our turnovers fueled their transition offense and we were unable to get back and effectively defend the paint.

It&#039;s funny, after the Piston&#039;s loss (and in other games where we haven&#039;t played that well or up to standard) I&#039;ve been more upset.  I guess in those other games I saw bad habbits that popped up in (seemingly) every game.  In this game, I thought the things we were doing poorly (excessively turning the ball over in live ball situations, not protecting the paint) weren&#039;t the types of things that we we&#039;ve done too much during the regular season....I chalk it up to a semi-poor night, really.</description>
