[shep33]

Dwight in disbelief at Kobe's lack of defensive rotation on Robin Lopez dunk. NO 12, LA 7.

Dwight and Kobe yelling at each other after Lopez gets another open basket.

Dwight yelled at Kobe for not rotating to Lopez. Kobe yelled back at Dwight, pointing toward the other end of the court.

Now in the timeout huddle, Dwight is standing up and pointing a finger in the face of the seated Kobe.

Dwight did go slap Kobe's hand after Kobe made a free throw. Kobe's D improved after timeout. ... NO 23, LA 20 after 1Q.

Kobe went to sit next to Dwight at the end of the bench. At start of this timeout, Kobe reached out a hand to help pull Dwight to his feet.

This is great in my opinion. Kobe's really had nobody outside of Phil yell at him, heck I can't remember the last player to do it, maybe Fish?

But this has to happen. The Celtics Big 4 had huge arguments over the course of their years. Wade and LeBron screaming at each other in the Finals, Durant and Westbrook... this is a good sign.

Nice job Dwight. This is the nastiness I'm looking for from the guy who is supposed to be our future franchise player.

Both of these guys need to push each other to the limit to win a championship together.

Kobe and Shaq 2.0?

Kobe and Shaq 2.0?

Kobe is way more matured, and plus, both guys know that they need each other. Dwight needs Kobe to get his first ring, and Kobe needs Dwight to tie MJ's 6. And Kobe has already gone on the record to say that in 2 yrs when he retires, he's handing the P&G armor to Dwight.

Yep. Some were seeing this as a potential problem in the GT. Shouldn't be and glad it wasn't.

These are grown men. Play ball, you **** up - get called out - get over it. Happy to know that Dwight got Kobe to play better defensively.

Kobe and Shaq 2.0?

I don't think so. Shaq and Kobe just kept yelling at each other lol. Dwight was being a leader tonight, it takes a set to talk to Kobe like that. Glad he did it. Kobe responded really well too.

This is a video of the Celtics Big 3 fighting in the locker room: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SSNUcVL_rYI

This is actually good just as along as they continue to respect each other. Kobe's dilemma is that he'll yell too, but he needs Dwight badly to win his 6th. So he has to keep it level with the big guy

[MetroMan]

Kobe needs the challenge.

He needs some one to make him prove something

2 videos arguing with ray......,.,, ray Allen left them probably because of things like that

[LAKERMANIA]

Celtics videos?

[shep33]

I've always thought that the Lakers played better when they were angry. Now I don't want them to get angry at each other all the time, but they need to hold each other accountable. Sometimes that's enough to bring out some fire

[Chavacano]

Laker basketball without drama simply isn't Laker basketball.



Mad props to Dwight for Kobe out!
