WINNING: Kobe GOES OFF and so does the Lakers Losing Streak

On the heels of Byron Scott becoming the Worst Lakers Coach of ALL-TIME, the TEAM avoids further futility in snapping a ten-game losing streak and avoiding the LONGEST LOSING STREAK in LA LAKER HISTORY




When Kobe Bryant scores 30 or MORE, the Lakers WIN Everytime (Lakers are 3-0 this season when Kobe scores 30+)




Cookin INDEED!  He was LEAD chef on the evening in the NBA and a season high for the MAMBA

38 points / 5 Rebounds / 5 Assists /   7/11 3 PT / 2 Steals  / +5 

And the Laker Girls Never looked so GOOD...




Good ol number 24 went OFF but other players like D'Angelo Russell (18/3/3) and Julius Randle had nice games too.

 Randle (15 pts/ 12 rebs) is 19th in "double-doubles" with 19 (over All-Star players like Draymond Green and Paul Millsap) and remains SNUBBED ... 



Tarik Black saw 20 minutes of PT including the final 2:55 in the first quarter and extended into the second.

He tied D'Angelo with HIGHEST +/- of any Laker with +15 after the first half of play.

Tarik had injured his foot, which was x-rayed today (2-3-16)with negative results.

 He left the game at the 2:12 mark in the first quarter.  The TEAM was up 57-45 at that moment. Tarik came into the game at the 2:55 mark in the first.  The Lakers were down 24-21.  Not ONLY did Tarik Black Play those consecutive minutes, but Roy Hibbert was out this entire stretch and only logged SEVEN first-half minutes.  

 Hibbert ended the game with a -9.

                     Black? +3

 And WHEN BLACK PLAYS his "plus/minus" is one of the highest on the TEAM!

 Tarik Black's has TWO "INACTIVES" (street clothes) and about 20 minutes of play in total over the previous FIVE GAMES.  

 Tarik played 20 in this one.  Most of his play was in the first half (when he then injured his foot).

 THIS is a MAJOR CHANGE in Byron Scott's foxhole.

 The numbers, for Tarik Black, will NOT always tell the story.  At one point Tarik had better than what Byron Scott Fan Boy Don MacLean calls 

 "a triple couple" (a couple a points, a couple of boards and a couple of fouls..)

 Black had a "quadruple couple" at one point: 2 pts, 2 boards, 2 blocks and 2 assists.  He added 2 more BOARDS to this tally, ending with 4 boards.

 The greatest positive play took place during that first-through-second quarter play when Black was on the floor for the LAKERS.

 Randle and Mamba helped out in quarter 1 with 6 and 5 points respectively.



The Lakers are 5-5 when leading at the end of the FIRST QUARTER.

Tarik Black appears to be FRONT and CENTER 

 and doing quite well..

Tarik Black History Month:

Tarik Black, of the Los Angeles Lakers has been "INACTIVE" the last TWO GAMES for the Los Angeles Lakers.


Since Byron Scott of the Los Angeles Lakers has decided to keep Mr. Black, Tarik Black, firmly planted on the bench, or even BEHIND the bench in street clothes, we thought we would dedicate February to him...




Tarik Black was assigned to play for the Los Angeles D-Fenders on Saturday, January 30, 2016, and posted these numbers in the win over the Oklahoma City Blue:

29 mins, 15 pts, 5-7 FG, 5-7 FT, 14 REB ( 5 OREB, 9 DREB),  1 STL, 4 Blocks, +14 (highest on TEAM)








Tarik Black (Looking like Denzel in TRAINING DAY) Has been INACTIVE and in street clothes the last two games for the LAKERS

Speaking of  DENZEL, Roy Denzil Hibbert posted 0 points, 2 Rebounds, 3 blocks for a minus 13 in 21 minutes of action last game against the HORNETS.

 Hibbert is averaging 6.8 ppg and 5.4 rpg this season for over 15.6 Million Dollars on the season.
In 38 Games LAST SEASON, Tarik Black averaged 7.2 ppg and 6.3 rpg in 21 minutes played ($840k +/-)
Who knows EXACTLY WHY ROY HIBBERT was brought in.  When Tarik hits the floor, the energy is different and guys look for him out of the pick and roll and when he is in there GOOD things happen



Whether it be on the Lakers OR the D-Fenders, Tarik's TEAMMATES look for him, and when they find him, everyone moves out of the way.  

BOOM BOOM!



Tarik will generally get as many points AND rebounds as he does minutes played AND he generally leads the Lakers in "plus/minus" but his PT (playing time) is sporadic at 10.8 mpg this season.


For whatever reason, "Roy Hibbert is the ONLY Laker that has started EVERY game" is something that we hear EVERY contest from the mouth of broadcaster Bill MacDonald.


 WHY?

 If this is a LOSING season and if Roy Hibbert is NOT a part of the Lakers future why does he keep starting AND playing about 25 minutes per?

 Super Agent David Falk may have had a clause written into Hibbert's contract with the Lakers because if WE see the value of Tarik Black and the positive play he brings to the squad and STILL gets benched something does NOT add up.

 Byron has asked Tarik to play like Dennis Rodman and others yet gives away bulk minutes to Ryan Kelly?

 Tarik's NUMBERS STACK UP AGAINST WALLACE, RODMAN AND FARIED 
Tarik has been Rebounding like Rodman and playing defense like Wallace yet remains BENCHED

and, dude has mid-range too..





King Kong might not have anything on Denzel but Lord Byron reigns over Black's PT and THIS continues to be a MYSTERY and a glaring issue in El Segundo


While Julius Randle may have been SNUBBED for the Rising Stars challenge so that the WORLD gets to see MARIO HEZONJA, Tarik Black remains SNUBBED by his OWN COACH...

 How SnuBBORN can Lord Byron B?
