BTW I agree with James. I know you like him Freeza, but I cant agree with you.

Nick Young cant speak at all. He does what he is "supposed" to do, only because thats the one thing he can/does do. He could have a different role if he played more unselfish, because he has the talent to do it, but he has his current role because every time he touches the ball, it goes up.

And calling out Kobe is so pointless.

The issue isnt what Kobe is doing, the issue is he is missing. If he made these same shots, nobody would talk all this play as a team bla bla.

The Laker offence isnt even 50% of the problem anyway. The defence is by a mile the biggest problem.

Besides the obvious, the problem imo, is Kobe is not adjusting. He's taking the same shots he's always taken, which are low percentage shots. He doesn't have the lift to make them anymore. Byron Scott should know that too, and try to get the ball to Kobe in better spots, like on the block where he still has a strength advantage over a lot of SGs.

Byron says chemistry isn't an issue w/ this team. The issue is they don't trust each other on the court yet.

Kobe is my favourite player, and I stated in the start it was fun coming from Nick Young. But it's in no way hypocrisy, since he was talking of the team in general needed to do better. How can he not say that?

Still, the one thing he can do, is more than Kobe can atm. Kobe is completely done and takes that frustration out on the entire team. He stated nowhere than we wasn't a part of the problem. Basically what he said was that the ENTIRE team doesn't play together at all. I don't understand how you can't state a problem, even if you're a part of it. If that's the case, it will never get fixed, since all our players are chuckers, except Russell who gets pulled constantly and played off ball for iso players.

And calling out Kobe is so pointless.

How come? He knows himself he can't do stuff like he used to anymore, and has to adjust. In 2012 he adjusted his game somewhat and started being a playmaker of sorts. That has completely gone away from his game.

Can't all Kobe out, yet you state defense is a big problem. Guess who's the main contributor to that aside from Byron Scott and him playing Bass as a C?

also this defensive play from Kobe is how he is every time
https://twitter.com/TheLakeShowLife/status/669383330425532416

I love everything he's done, but he needs to adapt and let the young guys play their style, or I would rather see him on the bench.

My point overall is:
Anyone can call a team out, when they include themselves as the problem. That's not hypocrisy.

Kobe is killing the team by not adapting his playstyle offensively, when his body is broken down.

Byron Scott is retarded.

Too many reliabilities on Defense.

Well, he does get a lot of those looks, then he milks the clock and takes another fadeaway. The biggest problem overall is his 3point shooting also, he's never been a long range shooter, and he's having the worst 3pt shooting performance of any player in history.

by Freeza Fri Nov 27, 2015 11:36 pm

Also D'angelo Russell looks like he wants to kill himself when someone asks about the team's offense and Byron Scott Laughing

I can't take this anymore. No idea why he's playing. Are the management afraid we'll win a lot if we get a competent coach? Laughing

by Great Leader Sprucenuce Fri Nov 27, 2015 11:38 pm

That would imply management know what they are doing Laughing

17-0

Curry with 41 points. Sat out the 4th quarter Sad

Had 9 3s made, could have broke the record if he played in the 4th.

It's sad how few people are talking about Paul George tbh.

Dude is playing out of his mind right now averaging 26.5, 8 and 5 and Pacers are 10-2 over the last 12 only losing to Chicago and Cleveland by an average of two points.

They have been really *bleep* good and what's more a lot of people thought they wouldn't make the playoffs or barely make it, they had 38 wins without him last year and somehow people forgot how good he was pre injury. Like he didn't take Lebron in his prime to 7 games Laughing

He's playing great, shooting the hell out of the ball

The Eastern Conference has actually been slightly better top to bottom than the West so far. 10th best team in the East would be tied for 8th in the West. If the Wizards win tonight, there's 11 teams .500 or better.

edit: lmao jinxed them. Beaten at the buzzer.

The Wizards just aren't a very good team right now. Their frontcourt is below average, their bench is meh. Pierce ain't there to bail them out in the clutch anymore either. GM has got to be thinking about firing Wittman.

by Freeza Sun Nov 29, 2015 3:49 am

Yeah, offense is definitely our biggest problem. Even though defense is shit aswell. We average like 1 pass in half court "sets" and that's a dribble hand-off or something. Awful to watch.

Byron on Lillard, McCollum v. Clarkson, Russell: “You look at our 2 young guards, their 2 young guards. We got outscored by 20-plus points."

Byron Molenation

Our guards went 14-27 scoring 35 points rofl

He's saying that like it's bad. If you add Randle's shooting it was basically the same.

53 points on 39 shots for our 3 players

57 points on 39 shots for theirs.

No way Byron would think that maybe our shots aren't being distributed to the wrong players.

by McAgger Sun Nov 29, 2015 7:55 am

That's okay Kobe had 21 points on 20 shots :bow:

Site seems to be dealing with heavy traffic, but from the title i knew it was going to be Kobe related.

Sad way to go out, but most people who are not Lebron dickriders know how great he was and absolute legend.

Dear Basketball,

From the moment
I started rolling my dad’s tube socks
And shooting imaginary
Game-winning shots
In the Great Western Forum
I knew one thing was real:

I fell in love with you.

A love so deep I gave you my all —
From my mind & body
To my spirit & soul.

As a six-year-old boy
Deeply in love with you
I never saw the end of the tunnel.
I only saw myself
Running out of one.

And so I ran.
I ran up and down every court
After every loose ball for you.
You asked for my hustle
I gave you my heart
Because it came with so much more.

I played through the sweat and hurt
Not because challenge called me
But because YOU called me.
I did everything for YOU
Because that’s what you do
When someone makes you feel as
Alive as you’ve made me feel.

You gave a six-year-old boy his Laker dream
And I’ll always love you for it.
But I can’t love you obsessively for much longer.
This season is all I have left to give.
My heart can take the pounding
My mind can handle the grind
But my body knows it’s time to say goodbye.

And that’s OK.
I’m ready to let you go.
I want you to know now
So we both can savor every moment we have left together.
The good and the bad.
We have given each other
All that we have.

And we both know, no matter what I do next
I’ll always be that kid
With the rolled up socks
Garbage can in the corner
:05 seconds on the clock
Ball in my hands.
5 … 4 … 3 … 2 … 1

Love you always,
Kobe
