Re: 4/5 - 4/13 Games Discussion Thread
I can. Kings are a joke, with dumb/immature players and front office. Karl's mistake was taking the job in the first place. The question is whether he wants to coach again, and if he's willing to put up with players who don't want to be coached.Comment

Anyone can get into with Cousins it seems, but what would be funny is if they trade him too and it looks like Karl was right in trying, but don't see that happeningComment

Nah I get it though even if I'm still bitter about the years of horrible shot selection, if he didn't go out this way it would of felt fake.
I'm just excited for this fresh start, let's see what this new journey brings.Horseshoes & HollyWoodComment

Re: 4/5 - 4/13 Games Discussion Thread
Lol. Who would have thought looking at a boxscore wasn't entertaining. It's like looking at a piano sheet and say, man I don't enjoy that music.
Kobe had 50 shots left in him and he took em and won the game. He made a show out of an irrelevant game nobody should have even watched. I think it was amazing.
I quoted someone who wondered aloud, "I don't see how anyone could have watched Kobes last game without enjoying it" and I chimed in to share my own personal take which explained, for the sake of brevity, that I was never really a fan of Kobe Bryant or his playstyle so I never really found much entertainment in his performances. His play has never really been something I enjoyed and I wasn't particularly fond of the sideshow surrounding his final season to begin with.
I know, it all leads to the classic, "You must be fun at parties" line. For whatever reason, I just have a few basketball players that really haven't done it for me. He happens to be one of them (as explained a little in the rest of the quoted post you left out).
If you enjoyed it, if many, many others enjoyed it, that's absolutely no problem. My post was merely an answer to someone wondering about those who wouldn't/didn't enjoy it. There's a reason I opted for the Warriors game instead—that was something I knew I'd personally enjoy; Kobe Bryant's last game was not.Last edited by VDusen04; 04-14-2016, 04:09 PM.Comment

Might be an off season thread topic but we're here. I'm actually more excited about who they can start over with. It's overdueComment

Reading the rest of my post for context may have been beneficial.

Maybe you meant that you know looking at the box score you woudn't have enjoyed it and that I can totally understand. This game was unwatchable for someone who doesn't like Kobe.Comment

Doesn't start until you know who is fired.Comment

I just thought it was funny to come out and say I watched 90 seconds of the game and I didn't enjoy it. There is no context that can really help that.

Re: 4/5 - 4/13 Games Discussion Thread
Not sure how else I can clarify beyond what I've already said in my original post and most recent response. I knew it wasn't something I'd enjoy and I explained why. Just the same, I wouldn't literally have to watch San Antonio-era Robert Horry drain a clutch triple on my Pistons in the NBA Finals firsthand to know I wouldn't enjoy it. I am uncertain of the misunderstanding.
I got your point don't worry.
Man, Russell is still at it LOL.Comment

Then finally find out who's running the show upstairs between the Buss kids, although I feel it should be and should've been Mitch awhile ago as both seem clueless.Horseshoes & HollyWoodComment

Honestly we don't have a shot at anyone. It's more so more minutes for the young guys, get rid of Byron and hopefully keep our draft pick.

Or Barnes and a center.
Front office will probably go for the home run and miss out on the attainable guys.Last edited by Vni; 04-14-2016, 05:26 PM.Comment

I would prefer Batum stay in Charlotte.
You can have Kaminsky though.Originally posted by Gibson88Anyone who asked for an ETA is not being Master of their Domain.
It's hard though...especially when I got my neighbor playing their franchise across the street...maybe I will occupy myself with Glamore Magazine.Comment

Re: 4/5 - 4/13 Games Discussion Thread
Just remember why yall bashing Kobe for taking 50 shots to get 60 points in completely meaningless game (a game where Kobe, the other players, fans at the game, clearly wanted him to have a "big" night) that Wilt basically did this for an entire season and is praised for it. 40 shots a game, to average 50 points a game. Every single night at that level of "selfishness" as you guys are calling it.

Wilt is often times referred to as the "most selfish player ever," so it makes sense that Kobe sits along side him
Oh, he also led the Spurs to a franchise best 67 wins and one of the best point differential in league history. I see your point, though, 3 guys putting up flashier numbers (on more minutes per game, mind you) on inferior teams deserve more credit than arguably the best two-way player in the NBA, today.
Sucks that the Warriors are incredible at the same time Kawhi is making his ascension. This is how Seattle, Utah, Miami, Portland, New York & Phoenix must have felt like in the Jordan era or Portland, Sacramento, Phoenix, New Jersey, etc. must have felt like in the Duncan/Shaq/Kobe era, huh?
