[QUOTE="Gauntlet, post: 127401, member: 545529"] The reason the lakers **** this year isnt just Kobe/Shaq. Fox, Horry, and Fisher have no heart in them and arent scoring points when they need to, they have become non-existent. Kobe and Shaq try to make up for it, but the defense knows that sicne the role players arent doing in anything, the balls going to Shaq or Kobe = double them up = lakers ****. Plus as a whole they just have no passion in them. The burning desire they had in themselves to win last year is now gone. And in addition to that, the Lakers bench is HORRIBLE. Mark Madsen, Samaki Walker, Stanisalv Medvendenevok or however you spell it, Jannero Pargo, Tracy Murray its terrible. They need some infusion of new talent, they have become stagnant while the rest of the leageu is progressing. And T-Mac really isnt THAT much of a ball-hog, he doesnt take too many ill-advised shots, but he is a very self centered player. After he score hes lazy getting back on D resulting in fast break points, he cant keep up with people screening him, and he looks lost trying to defend a pick and roll. His offensive game is straight up sick, but his defensive game is horrendous. Thats my main beef with T-Mac [/QUOTE]
