Kobe Bryant scored 29 points on Wednesday, hitting 11-of-23 FGs and 7-of-8 FTs, but the Lakers fell in Memphis for their fourth consecutive defeat. Kobe's individual numbers will never stay down for long, but the Lakers as a team are quickly sinking into the abyss -- their 2-10 record in January has them in 12th place in the West. The losses recently prompted Kobe to suggest the Lakers "post the ball a lot more, slow the game down a lot more," yet Mike D'Antoni has inserted Earl Clark into the starting lineup because, he said, the Lakers are "better when [they] are small." A quick look at the stats reveals that L.A. is 26th in the NBA in fastbreak efficiency, but thanks to Kobe they're elite in isolations, cuts and hand-offs.
