D'Antoni opet pokazuje da cim se malo uspori ritam on ne zna da vodi ekipu...fino je to sto je ovu ekipu vodio do solidnih 50% bez Bryanta ali takva igra nikad nije niti ce donijeti neke velike rezultate.

Bryant mnogo bolji nego u prvom mecu...dobar izbor suta,smanjen broj izgubljenih ali primjetno je da je zadnji i kad se vraca u odbranu i kad treba istrcati u napad,iako sinoc ni saigraci nisu bili bas najbrzi kad se treba vratiti nazad.

Dugorocno, to za Kobea nije problem. Na kraju krajeva ce imati jako pozitivan win share.

Da sam LAL, ja bih se borio za PO. Ionako nemozes tenkirati kako treba pored onakog istoka a i Jazza u zapadu.

A imaju realne sanse.

COMMENTARY | The Los Angeles Lakers managed to go 10-9 in 19 games without their best player by playing for one another and sharing the ball.

But in two games with superstar Kobe Bryant back in the mix, they've struggled to adjust to his presence for a variety of reasons.

Ultimately with Bryant, the Lakers figure to be a better overall team. But there are a few points of caution as pointed out by Lakers swingman Nick Young on Sunday after L.A.'s loss to the Raptors:

"Sometimes you can catch yourself watching Bryant while you're out there on the floor. … We can't just defer to him every time."

Consider that Young is 28 years old -- seven years Bryant's junior -- and spent many of his formative years idolizing him as an L.A.-area native. Also consider the fact that outside of veterans Bryant, Steve Nash and Pau Gasol, the average age of the rest of the team is 26.3 years old.

That's almost 10 years Bryant's junior, and considering where he fits in league history, it's not difficult to understand why his teammates can get trapped gawking at his exploits -- they're literally fans.

Everyone has to adapt

As with everything concerning a major injury, coming back for Kobe is going to involve a long process for all parties involved. So far, it's been a struggle.

The evidence lies in the film room. In two contests since Kobe's return, the Lakers have been stagnant and looked out of synch on both ends of the floor after cohesiveness had become their calling card for the first quarter of the season.

Head coach Mike D'Antoni used a deep rotation in order to keep opponents guessing, and it paid dividends. What's more is that on offense, L.A. found success in sharing the ball as well as any team in the league. Through 21 games, the Lakers ranked fourth in assists per game with 23.9, according to the NBA's official stats site.

On two-point field goals, the Lakers were also well above the league average over the same period in assists percentage with a mark of 54.1 percent. The league average in that metric is 50.7 percent, which further illustrates their unselfishness.

In the very small sample size of two games with Bryant in the lineup, the Lakers are averaging 20.5 assists per contest. That's below their season average and indicative of a shift in the way the team will have to play moving forward with him as the centerpiece.

How Kobe will fit in

These assists numbers are deceiving because they don't tell the whole story. The Lakers are adept at sharing, but the bounty of assists come at the expense of shot creation. When the team has struggled this season, even pre-Kobe, it's struggled to find a go-to player down the stretch. That means that when Bryant gets his form back, he will give the Lakers a much-needed lift in that area.

The Lakers' greatest all-time scorer has made a career out of taking (and making) difficult shots, so it stands to reason that he'll adjust his game adequately under the constraints of his serious Achilles injury. It's up to everyone on and off the floor, from the front office to the players, to figure out how to get the personnel the Lakers have this season to mesh with the face of their franchise.

Los Angeles is rightly committed to Bryant by signing him to a two-year extension this year, not only for the player they still think he can be, but also for all he's done.

He won't be the master shot creator he was in his prime -- Father Time alone can ensure that. But what Bryant won't be is a mere shell of his former self.

He'll still compete and bring a dynamic set of skills and unparalleled intensity to the table as always. For all of the difficulty the Lakers had on Tuesday night against the Phoenix Suns in a 114-108 loss, the silver lining was that Bryant appeared to get more of his legs underneath him and showed some explosiveness, even getting his first dunk of the young season.

It's going to take some getting used to, but the Lakers are ultimately better off with their best player on the floor. How long it takes for that to show up in the win column depends on everyone's ability to find balance on offense and limit rotational mistakes on defense.

That's easier said than done.

Lakers guard Steve Blake had an MRI and was examined today by team doctor Steve Lombardo and Dr. Neal S. ElAttrache of the Kerlan-Jobe Orthopedic Clinic.

Blake was diagnosed with a torn ulnar collateral ligament in his right elbow. He is expected to be out a minimum of six weeks.

koliko su nas povrede prosle sezone unistile , krecemo ponovo : /

Ni 20 utakmica nismo odigrali i vec smo ostali bez prvog, drugog i treceg pleja a u ovom sistemu Antonia je jedinica kljucna pozicija. Blake i Farmar nikad bolje nisu igrali u dresu Lakersa nego ove sezone, bas steta. Mozda stvarno nebi bilo lose dovesti onog malog Marshalla za svaki slucaj. Igrac po ukusu Antonia a evo citam da razvaljuje u D-ligi.

sad bryant na playa?

Doci ce Arenas.

Znaci polako se vec mozemo pripremati za "Lottery draft"...steta za Blake-a...igrao je najbolju kosarku od dolaska u Lakerse.

Bolje i lottery draft, nego ova situacija koja niti smrdi niti mirise...
Kakve koristi imamo i da izborimo PO, kada cemo biti pometeni u prvom krugu, ovako se bar mozemo nadati da cemo dobiti nekog kvalitetnog igraca (ako budemo u top 10 ekipa na draftu) za buducnost.

licno sam protiv svakog tankiranja i to mi je uopsteno nesto najgore sto se desava ligi , uostalom lakersi su iznad toga... ne ocekuje niko titulu , nek se bore svaku tekmu pa i nek gube 30+ , doce lakersi na svoje za par godina

Nepojmljivo mi je da se sa Kobajom tankira, ipak je jedan od najboljih svih vremena.. Al' eto, vrijeme će pokazat' da li će se tankirati, i da li je to ispravan put.

Sta imaju Lakersi tankirat.
Za 2 godine , kad isteknu ugovori Kobia(i Pola) , po Westbrooka i Lova(UCL boys).

kao da ce biti ikad zime za jezerase
sljedece 2 nece biti ni titule al se nece dugo cekati na sastavljanje sampionske ekipe
samo da se nece glupo zaklati na ljeto , nekim maxom za Carmela ili Bosha.

Vidi se napredak pod trenerskom palicom D`Anotni-ja...
OKC-u smo za cetvrtinu dopustili samo 38 poena, uz odlicnu taktiku genija na klupi koji je stavio Younga da cuva Duranta.

Odoh spavati ne vrijedi vise ovo gledati. Odigrano 14 minuta, a mi vec gubimo 16 razlike...

Ljudi nas ocekivano sinoc rastavili na proste faktore...
Jednostavno dok imas ovakvu neznalicu na klupi ne mozes nista drugo ni ocekivati. Nije problem izgubiti protiv OKC-a, ali je problem sto dopustis da te isti uniste.

I pored 13 asistencija Bryant je sinoc odigrao losu utakmicu, jer je postigao samo 4 poena i imao 7 izgubljenih lopti.
No njemu se nema sta zamjeriti tek se ponovo vratio na parket nakon povrede zbog koje je bio odsutan 8 mjeseci i od njega tek prave igre treba ocekivati od sredine Januara.

Opet ponavljam, najbolje je tankirati i uzeti taj pick koji nam je jedini preostao do 2018-te ako se ne varam, ali i to treba raditi sa stilom, a ne dopustiti da te ljudi nakantaju.

kakva partija gasola

pau je stvarno postao smece , ne mogu vjerovat kako covjek lose igra : /

Bolje je da FO da novac u dobrotvorne svrhe, nego Gasolu za novi ugovor...
Ne zna se koje je losiji u ovoj utakmici i na kraju ce pobjediti onaj manje los.

Edit: +1 nakon prvog poluvremena...

44-43
prvenstveno smo u igri zbog indijanaca zvanih bobcatsi, jer se ne zna ko je gori, oni il mi..
patnja za gledati, mrtvi gasol i naš napad, koji bez kobea jednostavno ne funkcioniše, nema nikakve kretnje..
svijetla tačka kobe, kojem će trebati još neko vrijeme da se vrati u top formu, ali kakva je milina gledati onakvog igrača

ja idem na spavanje, a ovi što će da prate drugo poluvrijeme: nek vam je Bog na pomoći..

uzasno fali farmar da predvodi rezerve , bezidejni u napadu totalno bez mambe...sreca pa su ovi takodjer prelosi pa mozda izvucemo pobjedu nekako

Kobe uvezo 4 poena za +1 16 sekundi prije kraja. Dobra partija, ide ovo na bolje, samo ga turnoveri zezaju previse.

Na kraju Pau def. skok i slobodna za pobjedu.

jedva nekako ali pobjeda je pobjeda :.D kobe fino napreduje iz tekme u tekmu , turnoveri su ocekivani s obzirom da je primoran igrat pleja i da nije igrao 8 mjeseci za nekih mjesec ocekujem da mamba udje u pravi ritam , mada je ovo ponavljam sasvim pristojna partija...pau na kraju dobra odbrana i clutch slobodna ali i dalje stoji da je uzasno odigrao do tog trenutka barem...idemo dalje
