Why did Kobe have more turnovers than the entire Spurs team combined?

Dude, Bruce Bowen, dude.

I wish Phil Jackson would bench Kobe like Pop bench Manu Ginobili. Kobe would probably be way more devastating coming from the bench. Besides, the Lakers already got Farmar who can start in Kobe's place.

Cause ginobili was stealing him all night... kobe had 9 turnovers, manu had nine steals... and yeah, kobe is not only a ballhog, but he does too much with the ball...

first half kobe had: 14 points, 6 rebs, 5 asts... triple double pace.....

second half he had: 15 extra points (29), 6 extra rebs. (12), and no assist.... he took 12/29 or something like that.... ballhog, trying to do too much... they were up by double digit when he wasnt ballhogging....

I think it's because he feeling the pressure of Lebron being better than him in FG%, rebounds, assists, and points scored this season. It's eating at him and he trying too hard.

Now that Lebron kicked his butt again last night and scored 41 points while shutting Kobe down for 1-6 shooting in the 4th, he'll even have more pressure.

Because... Kobe sucks!

Kobe's the biggest ballhog in the NBA.

Three reasons:

1. Popp has maybe the most disciplined team in the NBA.

2. With Bynum out, the Lakers team chemistry is all out of whack, and when that happens, it usually turns into a game of one on five... that Kobe wins half the time. Just not usually against the Spurs.

3. Bruce Bowen is a dirty basketball player.

yeah he is a ball hog for sure, but since he had to cat fight with oneal, hes got nobody to help him out much. I think he may even be losing his talent... just like what happens to every pro sports player. They get big and they are awesome, but its just a matter of time before its all gone, enjoy the superstars while they last!

because he gets a lot of double team by udoka and bowen(good defenders) and has to make hard passes ! hes a great passer, but the problem is that his teammates kinda suck and that means every player from the other team can defend kobe or watch who he could pass to

cause two of those times hes turned over the ball in your mouth

Kobe got no skillz that wil work on Bowen

coz he ball hog. thats why. he was doing good in the first quarter and second. i dont know what happen in 3rd quarter.
