I am in complete agreement with NOT motivating Kobe. The idea is not primarily to have a laugh but to actually distract the opposing player. This will NOT work on Kobe. I don't necessarily think it will work on Pau, and Bynum has impressed me with his confidence and coming up big.
Lamar is weak. He can play great or terrible. Wtch how he looks just a wee bit off camera and semi struts after completing an and-1 play. Then watch as he commits an offensive foul on the next possession.
Artest is weak. He's STILL a ticking time bomb. He stioll does what he wants at times DESPITE what is best for the team. Get on Artest!!! If Paul makes him look bad even once and the crowd gets on him, he wuill do something stupid.Man, I'm just realizing how much I really hate Artest. He really is a perfect Laker.
