But we saw what we all saw in game 1 of the Denver series and that's "Kobe being Kobe". I care not to hear the falderal about Kobe getting the Lakers to OT or the fantasy that his teammates "dumped" the loss in his lap in overtime. This was Kobe being Kobe. Even after 3 or 4 bricks and blocks, the Lakers were only down a bucket and he who accused those of dumping, called a play where Kobe handled the ball out of a time out. Kobe didn't set a screen, or run a cut, he dribbled and dribbled and dribbled and cranked up a shot looking for a whistle. It is complete nonsense to blame anyone but Kobe for the horrendous overtime in game 4, well except for PJ who could have called plays for the sizzling Fish or LO or Sasha - but let's all defend Mr. 1st Team All Defense and move on to Wednesday where we are primed for a quick 12 point deficit and the uphill struggle this series has become after two blown steals in Utah.

]]> Comment on Is Blake DeWitt the Solution? by Mustang http://www.sportshubla.com/2008/05/13/is-blake-dewitt-the-solution/#comment-4143 Mustang Tue, 13 May 2008 23:26:23 +0000 http://www.sportshubla.com/2008/05/13/is-blake-dewitt-the-solution/#comment-4143 The better answer is no. Andy Laroche the Dodgers' best guy at third base. His trade value is down right now (rightly so, because of injury after injury) and he deserves major league at bats to prove himself to the fans and the manager, coaches, etc... If anything, Coletti should field offers for DeWitt while his bat is shining so brightly. Also on the block should be Juan Pierre, Nomar, and, if Brazoban starts to show some steadiness, Proctor.

But, if you look closely at the OT session, you'll see that he was WIDE OPEN. He never shot under pressure. He never forced a shot. He just couldn't hit the side of a barn. Sloan lies when he says they didn't play Kobe different. They definitely sagged off of him (AK admitted as much), because they could see that: a) his jumper had left him, and b) he had no first step. He's a shooting guard. He's supposed to shoot when open. No one else was open (by design). Sloan gambled and won, that's all. If Kobe hits just one of those shots, it opens the lanes back up and the Lakers probably win. --Fearless I knew Kobe probably shot us out of that overtime.

Trade LaRoche, make Nomar the utility guy and give DeWitt the chance to insert himself into the ROY discussion. The short answer is yes. (Actually, that’s the long answer, too.)
