LOL 2 coaches, 2 different systems, tons of injuries to key players and integrating new players into the lineup. I swear OP was one of the posters saying that Kobe wasn't the problem and he was playing efficiently even when the team was losing.
the team needed time to find out what works surprisingly they were playing .500 ball without Nash and Kobe was running the offense. You could have started a thread that Gasol should have been benched from the beginning of the season and it would be just as relevant.
