Kobe needs to give the ball to Gasol more and let the team run the damn NBA CHAMPIONSHIP WINNING TRIPLE POST OFFENSE. THE ONE JORDAN THRIVED IN. /wrists

n-saniac · 03-09-2010, 02:59 AM

nah, they need to put bynum on the bench and let odom start. having gasol and bynum in at the same time doesn't really work as well as it's supposed to. especially when we play teams with bigs that can run up and down the court all day. neither of thos fatasses can keep up. that and bynum is just a turd. kobe still isnt 100, he will be come playoff time though, so no worries.

Psychosomatic · 03-09-2010, 03:14 AM

I don't care if Gasol is sharing the court with DJ Mbenga. He needs the god damn ball every time down the court. Run the offense through him. Kobe will get his, because Gasol isn't a black hole. Kobe's percentages will suddenly rise as he gets better looks, and Gasol will either drop 30 points or 10 assists every night.

I guess the more glaring issue is Derek Fisher taking 20 footers with 20 left on the clock. I think the Los Angeles Lakers have slightly better options, Derek. Options like reducing your terrible, terrible minutes and giving Farmar more showcase burn.

n-saniac · 03-09-2010, 03:19 AM

I'd still take fish over farmar or shannon. those niggas never come through when we actually need them. they can sure put on a show when we're already blowing someone out though!

and gasol doesn't get the ball because he plays too soft.

Psychosomatic · 03-09-2010, 03:34 AM

I wouldn't call his play on Howard in the finals "soft." Besides that, the man is a tall 4 (which is why Bynum starts in the first place), meaning when he's getting banged up by big 5s it's because he's just not as strong.

n-saniac · 03-09-2010, 03:36 AM

he's from europe, he's soft.

Ronny Turiaf, Mickael Pietrus, Carlos Boozer, Andris Biedrins, Fransisco Elson, Marcin Gortat, Darko Milicic (he might suck but he doesn't afraid of anything), and Pops Mensa-Bonsu are all European citizens.

And for the older crowd, Arvydas Sabonis and Rik Smits.

Guest · 03-09-2010, 09:31 AM

Rik "the dunking Dutchman" Smits looked like a retarded kid I went to grade school with. He was awesome.

I agree that Kobe needs to share the ball more. He's not playing alongside Smush Parker and Luke Walton anymore. Give Pao, Odom, and Bynum more touches. There's no need to lead the league in ppg or be among the league leaders in shots per game. It's not 2005 anymore.

This is why Lebron >>> Kobe, even at Kobe's peak. That's right; I went there.

Psychosomatic · 03-09-2010, 04:35 PM

Lebron jacks up way too many outside shots, too. Difference is no one would complain about Bron being a black hole if he went to the rim every time instead of relying on his supposed daggers.

Lebron does take too many outside shots, but he needs to take a few of those to keep the defense honest. As long as he's shooting 34 - 35%, I'm happy. Dwyane Wade, on the other hand, should try to limit his 3s to wide open looks, end of the quarter shots, and end of the game desperation 3s because his shot is incredibly streaky.

I'm pretty amazed with Lebron's game. He gets to the line, he is incredibly efficient at finishing around the rim, and he's a solid three point shooter as well. Basically, he's excelling at the two most efficient shots in basketball: the close range 2pt and the 3pt. A lot of people fawn over Kobe's finesse game in the mid-range. Yes, it's the product of many years in the gym, and yeah, it is very pretty to watch, but those long-range 2s are some of the worst shots a player can take. Lebron will need to develop his post moves if he wants a long and productive career like Kobe, but they are not essential to being the best player in the game right now.

I was really hoping everybody would vote for "STFU cake."

I feel bad. I was the one who initially voted for it and got it up there.

I was the second vote... during that time the quote was changing every few minutes, all with one vote. This one was a keeper.

He's average from 3. Let me repeat: average. He can shoot his team out of a comfortable lead trying to hit that dagger when he truly could be going to the rim. "Keeping teams honest" doesn't justify the huge number of shots he uses jacking up threes, and frankly, he demands more honesty when he drives and kicks to his teammates, who are generally superior 3 point shooters. LeBron excels at one range of shot, and he should do it more often.

Speaking of keeping teams honest, I'm surprised you dismiss the mid-range game so quickly. That's the one shot good defensive squads generally let you have, and if you can't hit it, they'll keep giving it to you at the exclusion of all else. Ask Tony Parker about his mid-range jumper circa 2005-2006 and all the problems it caused; then look what happened against LBJ and the Cavs in 2007. The Spurs got better despite an aging group because opposing teams had to let Parker penetrate the D lest he hit a high percentage open jumper from 15 to 20 feet, whereas before they would have been happy to give it to him. Also, Kobe often gets the ball in the post, where he's shooting from the 10 foot range, not exactly the 20 footers you're talking about (and hey, LeBron isn't exactly immune to the allure of the 20 footer himself).

After years of skating by on defensive rep alone, Kobe is finally playing great D (better on ball than LeBron). He's having arguably a career year despite numerous injuries, and he'd be having a better year if he played off the ball and let the triangle execute more often. The first player to fix their self-imposed offensive inefficiencies is the better player this year IMO, though LBJ wins if neither of them do so.

I think it must have been a few people. I always take part when that's happening and Kereal mentioned to me that he was doing it too.

Pfft. Big deal, i make board quote routinely.

cakeroo · 03-10-2010, 12:37 AM

I loved every second of watching the 3 game losing streak the lakers are on.

Kobe coming back after injury has really screwed up the team. He struggled at first, now he's getting back in rhythm, but everyone's role changed when he was gone. Now that he's back, the roles have changed again and Kobe is missing shots I NEVER see him miss. Gasol played excellent when Kobe was out, but now he's not getting the rebounds and second chance plays, and just isn't playing as well as I'm used to seeing.

Just because you're an internet grandma who can't figure out paypal doesn't mean you have to get sand in your taint over all my posts.

Zyandrious · 03-10-2010, 12:36 PM

I have PayPal figured out, but I was just looking for tips. Thanks, though. Your reading comprehension skills are out of this world.

That being said, you are just someone who can't stand to not be recognized for something, no matter how minute your involvement, or the importance of the thing itself. Your desire to have the validation and acceptance of others is sad. Attention whoring at its best.

Humility is not a trait you know. Until you do, people will just think you are a conceited asshole.
