Kobe Bryant is frustrated that he cannot play in the postseason with his Lakers teammates following a serious injury and he took those frustrations out on Twitter during the game, writing coaching tactics and play suggestions as the Lakers lost to the Spurs 91-79 in the first round.
Bryant took to Twitter to write about what was going on in the game, passionately writing about how the team needed to get down in post with Pau Gasol and Dwight Howard. Both had double doubles as Gasol had 16 points and 16 rebounds and Howard added 20 points and 15 boards, but without Bryant it wasn't enough to overtake the Spurs in game one.
The Lakers were able to outrebound the Spurs, but it didn't make a difference in the final outcome as Tony Parker and his backup Manu Ginobili has 18 points each as the Spurs never fell behind in the game. The Lakers appeared to have a chance against the Spurs as the playoffs neared, but with Kobe out, it will be tough to beat them and head coach Mike D'Antoni was not pleased with questions afterwards about Bryant's tweets.
"Post. Post. Post," Bryant tweeted during the game. "Gotta milk pau in the post right now and d12. Will get good looks from it."
"On to game 2. I will be watching from the crib again in a pau jersey and laker face paint ha! All jk aside We will be fine on wed."
