But there is good news coming from this name change Jordan may try and get the Hornets name back to Charlotte

I know, and when they went to Utah, they shoulda changed their name to something more fitting. Cuz Utah and Jazz don't fit. Maybe the Utah Rocks. Or Utah Salt. Utah Mormons.

More egregious is the continual foul line problems but I won't criticize him for that because he's always been horrible there. But teams didn't utilize "Hack-a-Howard" in Orlando like they are now. He's 17 out of 37 in just the last two games alone.

No please. This I want to hear. You can't possibly defend Kobe.

My word, that is lame. I say make Utah switch names. Fine them $250,000 if they don't!

I have no desire to repeat myself yet again. If you don't understand, or if you just have your stance on the man, so be it. I'm done. Finished. Finito.

You really are blind to Kobe huh? Kobe needs to defer to his teammates instead of trying to be a hero. And when hrs trying to be a hero and fails, man up and say it's on me.

[Trainwreck2100]

Pelicans might work

[TheGuy]

Lakers are 1-7 when Kobe scores 30+. Their wins have come when he scores less than 30pts.

[Doc Samson]

And you know why? Because the games where the rest of the team comes out playing like garbage are the games he gets frustrated and goes 1 on 5. It's pretty simple actually, but hard to grasp if your not watching the full game, every game.

I promised myself this season I wasn't doing this anymore though, so I'm really trying to be done, honestly. You guys win, all of you. Now can we please talk about somebody, ANYBODY else who scores 30 points and their team loses. If that's ever happened before, that is...

[Docker2.0]

You obviously didn't see the game. Kobe came out jacking. It was clear he wanted 52 points tonight so you can't say the team played like garbage when he did this from the opening bell.

[L.A.]

Let the status quo continue. I can see Kobe's soul starting to burn again. Faker fans is confused right now. Don't know who or what to blame. Mike Brown? Naw he gone. Is it Pau? Is it Dwight? Nash's absence? Lack of D down the stretch? Is Jimmy Buss all to blame for this? Don't matter to me. Let these Fakers and their cult following continue to catch Ls while my Clips run the Staples Center.

I would but man is it funny that they have all these excuses. LOOKING for someone to blame but themselves. They are now the 3rd best team in Cali behind the Clippers and Golden State. Dare I say that Dantoni could POSSIBLY be fired before the end of the season? And dare I say Kobe will explode on management around February or March? So much drama.

[Anubis]

Actually, the blame lands squarely on Buss.

[SpideyVille]

Knicks played awful tonight, but they still managed to steal one again the Bobcats. The big story though, Carmelo was out with 2 minutes left because he cut his finger chasing after a loose ball, which was pointless since they would have gotten possession anyway since it was a shot clock violation. Hopefully he's good for the game with the Heat tomorrow.

[runawayboulder]

I don't think that the Knicks have won the second game of a B2B yet this season. They went down to the wire tonight and as old as they are, I can't see them coming out over a rested Heat team coming off a loss. We'll see I guess.

As long as they bring it when it matters.

Yep. They seem to always cruise through the regular season. So as a native of Miami and a 'here-and-there' ticket holder, it's a bit frustrating when you're expecting a great game and show up for cruise-control.

It's all good though. Getting a Heat Dancer's digits was well worth the hundreds of dollars I wasted at that embarrassing home loss last year.

Don't hate. It's Miami, and I'm hot Latin stuff.

It doesn't hurt to look like Pitbull/Cain Velaquez either.

Talk to Comicbook Chick if you don't believe me.

Like I said, don't hate.

Not in Miami brah.

Does anybody think the Clippers are going to have the better record over The Lakers?

Way to change the story but I can take a hint. I don't think the Lakers will win 50 games this year. It's amazing how many people are being blamed and Anubis is right, this is on Buss but what is the common denominator on the court? Yep! That guy! He just told Pau to adjust but I'd love to see him say that when Nash comes back and he and Pau work that pick n roll. I honestly don't get what Dantoni is thinking saying he has no use for Pau. He and Nash are probably a better combo than Kobe and Dwight......on the court anyway. Off the court between Dwight's wishy washy ways and Kobe's infidelity and rape case........these dudes were made for tv.
