He has handled the entire situation in Los Angeles the wrong way and doesn’t realize how wrong he is by sticking with Kobe Bryant as his starting shooting guard/small forward and focal point of the offense.

Even though it was technically possible, the Los Angeles Lakers never stood much of a chance against the Golden State Warriors on Tuesday night, getting rolled to the tune of a 111-77 scoreline.
“Man, I don’t want to see Kobe go out like this, looking this bad and not able to do what he once could do”, said a retired guard who faced Bryant.
Over the last few days, we’ve written in more detail about Kobe Bryant’s shooting troubles. “We do a great job of just staying in the moment”. While he still averaged 22.3 points a game, that was still lower than the 27.3 points he put out during his last uninjured season in 2012-13. We’d be what, 3-11?
“I try to do some fancy things out there with both hands, making crossover moves and kind of having a certain creativity and flair to my game”.
The Lakers will resume practice Friday and play at Portland on Saturday.
Coach Byron Scott gave Bryant the day off Wednesday when the rest of the team practiced, but said he has not considered reducing Bryant’s minutes or role on the floor.
D’Angelo Russell, Jordan Clarkson, Julius Randle and Roy Hibbert have started each game, and Metta World Peace has filled in for all of Bryant’s absences. I think it’s going to be a insane year. “I got faith in Kobe that he’ll be okay”. So now I see Kobe and he’s pump-faking because he’s scared they are going to block his shot.
“You can’t really get too far ahead of yourself”.
Earlier in November, Bryant said he was still undecided.
Curry said he had discussed an assault on the benchmark with his teammates, but assured reporters on a conference call the team would not get distracted by the pursuit of records.

“We still understand that this is a process and it’s going to take time”. Lakers fans are justified in complaining about Bryant’s performance this year. “Honestly, the best thing you could do – for your body, for your mind, for your family-is just to pack up that Staples Center locker, take the helicopter back to the coast, and start enjoying life as a former National Basketball Association player”.
