Re: NBA Off Topic

I just wish the NBA didn't chuck so many games on league pass, then wonder why they have to fabricate viewing numbers every year.

With the exception of last year, isn't that how it always is? Especially early in the season?

Re: NBA Off Topic

Sure it doesn't, you think I believe ISO is the way to go? Or you think I find that pretty cool that Kobe has to play 40 minutes a game just to save the Lakers from getting embarassed?

Lakers need offensive plays to get everyone involved but they also have to make shots when it matters. But the biggest LA problem is the defense and you know it well.

It's the hustle, not Kobe's offense, look at his numbers a little bit. You guys just pick games where he shots a lot and say: Ah! Told you, he shots terribly!"

No look at his stats for the season. Infact he has never had that good percentages. D'Antoni can't even make Steve Nash and Dwight run a fraeking p'n'r lol. I have seen like a handfull of them since Nash is back, it's a joke.

Are you brainwashed. You really don't think between Gasol, Dwight, Nash and Gasol that they can't score 30 or 40 points if you get them in a rythymn?

You're the one posting numbers here, I dont have to do that because the guy has been doing this for years on end. Essentially he's being one dimensional, no better than Westbrook when he blacks out and sees nobody else on the court.

Its no different

He just continues his push towards Brooklyn. Who does LA land if he goes to BKN?

I could see something like Howard and Jamison for Lopez, Stackhouse, Brooks and Bogans.

Not sure, but it seems much more now than before, for some reason.

I refuse to pay 2-300 bucks for SD league pass, tv or streaming ( I have dish)

Re: NBA Off Topic

Who's the Jamal Crawford of the Lakers then? He's not injured, he isn't on the bench... There isn't one. See how deep the Clippers are even without Crawford and you tell me that's enough to give Paul a license to shoot more?

Ok. Make Kobe average 15 points per game. Find a hundred of points between the rest of the players now.

30 for Howard. 20 for Pau and Nash. 10 from MWP and Jamison. 5 from Hill and Meeks. There ya go.

Kobe is a scorer. That's what he does, he shots the ball and put in the basket. That's why he is what he is, that's how the Lakers won many championships.

Kobe isn't a point guard, he is a shooting guard. You guys think he should play like Lebron James and Chris Paul. It's not what Kobe does.

Are you brainwashed. You really don't think between Gasol, Dwight, Nash and Gasol that they can't score 30 or 40 points if you get them in a rythymn?

Brainwashed, what? Am I insulting you?

IT's not about 40 points. Say Kobe averages 15 points per game. You need 85 more between the rest of the team. Do the maths, it's not there. Thats why D'Antoni plays Kobe so much because without him even his offense sucks.

Just like that eh.

Re: NBA Off Topic

These scrubs can't score without Kobe is basically what you're getting at, and thats exactly what im saying.

I don't want to argue over it, but I don't agree.

Re: NBA Off Topic

Not saying that, but look at the post you liked above.

You really belive that? You're gona turn Howard into an offensive monster? Nash and Pau are gonna average 20 points a game?

lol, please.

Like Dwight isn't capable of scoring 30? Or Nash and Gasol can't score 20? Regardless, if you're going to use the hyperbole of Kobe scoring 15 points a game (more LOL please than anything else said), then it's not ridiculous to think these guys can do that either.

Re: NBA Off Topic

Dwight is capable of scoring 30. Averaging 30? No way.

[DieHardYankee26]

Dwight is capable of scoring 30. Averaging 30? No way.

And the reverse of that being:

Kobe is capable of limiting himself and scoring 15 a game? You can't make up ridiculous hypotheticals and then say its unrealistic when others do it.

Re: NBA Off Topic

I don't mean to say Dwight would be better than Shaq, but I think it's easy to look at his size and talent level and wonder why he isn't able to be better.

Things like footwork and post game can be taught. Shaq didn't really have much of a post game when he came into the league either.

I agree that Dwight could be a better player, but Shaq just does so many things better than Dwight that it's hard for me to see a way that Dwight could be better than Shaq ever.

Re: NBA Off Topic

So I just saw on ESPN's ticker that Dwight is out at least a week with a torn labrum and Pau is out indefinitely with a concussion. That can't be right cause a concussion being indefinite seems off. But LOL Kobe bout to really start chucking now.

Re: NBA Off Topic

Iwonder why you guys like to focus on Kobe's offense when the true Lakers's problem is their defense. If it was this bad he probably woudn't average as many minutes or be put back in the game everytime the opposition team gets on a run.

Yeah Kobe's the one breaking D'Antoni's great plays. For sure.

Believe me, D'Antoni loves Kobe.

Haters gona hate.
