The lakers locker room is more dysfunctional than your familys living room.

..thats scary

Lamar odom says " kobe doesnt have any friends [in the locker-room]"

phil jckson says "Kobe screwed up our offense" more quotes by other players in the article below http://www.foxsportswest.com/01/04/11/Struggling-Lakers-address-alleged-chemis/landing_witz.html?blockID=384504&feedID=3709

As long as Kobe doesn't tell Lamar to Pick 1, he'll be alright.

took me a couple seconds to get that one and then it came to me

Sigh... I just don't know what to think of the Lakers this season.

If you're a Laker fan, it isn't anything new.

Three straight Finals appearances.

It's taken it toll on the team. As for the comments... like I said, this isn't anything new.

Why isnt it? find me something like this...

Glen Rice's wife versus Phil Jackson.

Rick Fox versus Glen Rice.

Nick Van Exel versus Del Harris.

Nick Van Exel and Eddie Jones versus Magic Johnson.

Magic versus Kareem.

Magic versus Norm Nixon and Paul Westhead.

It's old news.

Oh I thought you meant the lakers team of this last 3 years.

When teams are winning overall however, stuff like this can be put aside. So, this shouldn't be a huge problem for LA.

Well I could see if it was like theo ratliff bashing ebanks lol but this seems like some tension between the main guys..even the coach...we'll see

Nah.

It's constant. It's every era.

Why?

I don't know.

But it's been like that in this organization for a long time.

People with power fighting other people with power.

Besides, it's been documented for a while that Kobe doesn't hang out with teammates. His closet friend on the team is Fisher and he doesn't hang out with him outside of work.

Kobe separates his two lives.

Work and home.

He probably wants to spent more time home with his family and wife...

I think NBA.com really needs to stop being so melodramatic.

Everytime the Lakers lose one or more games in a row, they immediately hit the panic button as if the world is going to end; just because the Lakers happen to have a losing streak. It's the nature of sports in general, ANY team is capable of losing a series of games. It's only the freaking regular season...but almost every single time I log onto that site around the time the Lakers lose a couple, there is always an overdramatic article written by them that creates this image of a Lakers team that is in serious trouble which just gets old and irritating.

Sportswriters love drama, and they'll add it if they have nothing much to write about.

If its a main problem between guys like Kobe and Odom, this might a pretty big deal and affect the chemistry. But as Nick C said, this is nothing new for the Lakers, and mostly all franchises, even my basketball team is like this at times. I think they've been so fond of winning, that they kind of forget what they are going after, and just getting bad losses. I think the Lakers will bounce back after the all-star game and tensions will be resolved.

Well I think w/e their chemistry on and off the court is has proven to work for the last 2 seasons (3 if u count making to the finals a decent accomplishment), so don't fix what's not broken i guess?
