Dash Posted March 26, 2012 Report Share Posted March 26, 2012 Kobe Bryant admitted to being unhappy when Mike Brown pulled him in the fourth quarter of a 102-96 loss to the Grizzlies on Sunday. "Of course I was," Bryant told reporters. "It's his decision to make," Bryant said. "He makes the decision. He's the coach. If you guys are looking for a story, I'm not going to give you one. I can't sit here and criticize his decisions. In leading this ballclub, that's something I can't afford to do. I got to have his back. I've had his back the whole season; I can't start doing something crazy now. It wouldn't make no sense." Brown did not provide a specific reason when asked about taking Bryant out. "I just felt like I needed to make a sub at the time, so I did," Brown said. "It's not one particular thing. I just made the sub, went with Metta (World Peace), sat (Bryant) for a couple minutes and then tried to go back to him but obviously it didn't work."

Sħãlïq™ Posted March 26, 2012 Report Share Posted March 26, 2012 Like 3 hrs ago: LOS ANGELES -- Kobe Bryant said he was unhappy after being benched in the fourth quarter of the Los Angeles Lakers' 102-96 loss to the Memphis Grizzlies Sunday night, but he tempered his recounting of the event. "Of course I was!" - Bryant told reporters when asked if he was upset about the benching. The Lakers called timeout midway through the fourth quarter after falling down by double digits. During the timeout, Bryant elbowed a chair on the bench after the Lakers had allowed a three-point deficit to start the final period balloon into a 14-point cushion for Memphis with just 5:45 remaining. Bryant's frustration only seemed to grow when he was subbed out of the game in favor of Metta World Peace and remained out of the game until 1:51 remaining when he checked back in with the Lakers trailing by nine. (...) "I usually don't like to run him because he ends up playing a ton of minutes," Brown said. "He was at 38 (minutes), 27 (seconds) tonight but I don't like to run him a whole half if I can help it. If I can give him a minute or two here or there, then I will."Bryant benched briefly, unhappy Ain't seen Kobe that mad this season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sħãlïq™ Posted March 26, 2012 Report Share Posted March 26, 2012 (edited) ^ Mike Brown must've taken advices from Vincent Del Negro... It also makes me wonder if Brown consults prostitutes on important team moves (like Clippers owner Donald Sterling). <_< Edited March 26, 2012 by Sℏãℓïʠ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
