Afternoon Delight: Kobe, The "Fan"

During the Lakers' Game 1 opening round loss to the Spurs yesterday, the injured Kobe Bryant spent his time critiquing his team's play on twitter.  Here are a few of his many tweets:

Gotta get to the block. See wat spurs r gonna do with pau and d12

Gotta keep the spurs offense in front of our d. They r great at penetrating and pitching to their shooters

What I would say if I was there right now? "Pau get ur ass on the block and don't move till u get it" #realtalk

Matador Defense on Parker. His penetration is hurting us

His coach, Pringles D'Antoni didn't enjoy the backseat coaching and had this to say during his post-game interview:

“It’s great to have that commentary,” D’Antoni said, rolling his eyes “He’s a fan right now. He’s a fan. You guys put a little bit more importance on that kind of fan. He’s a fan, he gets excited, I’m sure he wants to be part of it.”

Upon hearing this comment, Kobe responded again via twitter:

A fan?? Lol #microphonetalk

Remember this 1996 movie with Robert DeNiro and Wesley Snipes?

 Tell us what you really think, Mamba.  Imagine what the "Fan" would have said or done if he were actually in the stands.
