Kobe Bryant Is Playing Too Many Minutes For The Los Angeles Lakers

The Lakers held the lead at the half and expanded their advantage to as many as seven points in the third quarter.

Draymond Green added 18 points, seven rebounds and five assists as the Warriors extended their franchise-record home winning streak to 27 games with coach Steve Kerr watching from behind the scenes while recovering from complications following two back surgeries. A floater by Carroll with 24.6 seconds left sealed the win for the Raptors.

Griffin, one of three Clippers’ starters who failed to score in the first quarter, had a forgettable half, missing both of his field-goal attempts and coming up empty in more than nine minutes. The excitement for the present, joining those two with the 2014-15 breakout player, Jordan Clarkson, and a now healthy Julius Randle, buried beliefs about the Lakers being in the middle of a rebuilding project. Ahead of Tuesday’s game between the Lakers and Warriors in Oakland, the future Hall of Famer expressed mild optimism that his team could pull off what would be the biggest upset of the season.

Even with Bryant’s sadsack display, he offered something that no one else could on this night in which the Warriors waltzed so anticlimactically into the league’s annals: a reminder that what the Warriors are doing at the moment is extremely rare stuff.

Indeed. Heading into that matchup, there’s news about Scott’s desire for change and a nugget about Bryant himself, so let’s take a look. Kobe Bryant and coach Byron Scott admitted that it is a very hard task to beat and prevent the Warriors from making history.

The Warriors won the season series a year ago, winning three out of four matchups.

At 37 years old, Bryant sits tied for the team high with an average of 31.1 minutes per game.

With just two wins to their name, it doesn’t make sense for Bryant to keep going out and taking his volume-based approach in losses. I know. I had to break those habits myself. I think they want more.

“It’s a different team (now), though”, Bryant said. This will be a great game to see where they are at, especially against a tough Western Conference opponent. “I was able to lift weights get my legs stronger”. Will Kobe Bryant finally hang it up after the season?

But the Lakers rallied, cutting the Raptors’ lead to 93-87 after a corner 3-pointer by reserve forward Metta World Peace with 3:49 left.

For a team that so desperately wants any major free agent, it is simply bad PR. We will have to see what happens going forward, but so far it hasn’t been a good look for the Lakers. He is one of the most explosive and electrifying players in the league. “He’ll make you pay for anything you make a mistake on, so he made shots today”, said Clarkson.
