Game Thread: December 16, 2013: Lakers vs. Hawks, 7:30 EST, FSS TV

The Kobe Bryant comeback continues in Atlanta, where he will be going against Jeff Teague (if he is playing point guard again).

Hawks coming off of a bad loss against the Knicks.
Lakers coming off a win against an up and coming Charlotte.

Two teams who are basically having pointless seasons.

The Hawks could have signed a big free agent and struck out, and don't have enough scoring to secure the third seed in the East.

The Lakers have two aging HOFers, a coach who doesn't like either of them, another HOFer who needs to retire, and bunch of guys who probably won't be back next season.

Lakers easy win... Expecting a big game from Pau

Which team drafted Pau Gasol?
Which team traded him away for Shareef Abdur Rahim?

Maybe this summer, we might sign him to a 2 years, 20 million deal. He can take Elton Brand's spot, who needs to retire.

For this game, the Hawks are typically good in coming back after bad losses.
We should come out strong and win this game.
Teague needs to iso Kobe and drive to the basket. Teague has footspeed and quickness, while Kobe is still getting his conditioning and timing back.

[hawkfan]

Go Hawks!

[PizzamanIRL]

Kobe still trying to thread needles and failing.

[branslowski]

Gasol effort in these first 4minutes>>>>the last 4 games

[Doranku]

Kobe as PG is embarrassing. Jesus...

[Bodhi]

Kobe still trying to thread needles and failing.
Honestly I'm surprised that this is what he's had the most trouble with

[Noob Saibot]

Kobe as PG is embarrassing. Jesus...

[razzredazzre]

[PizzamanIRL]

Korver streak ending tonight

[SpecialQue]

And this team is the 3rd best team in the east?

[Doranku]

A fat, over-the-hill loser having the game of his life against us.

What a surprise. :oldlol:

[JimmyMcAdocious]

Luke Walton the GOAT analyst? Even better than his father. :eek:

[KobesFinger]

Damn Kobe's lazy on D

[SpecialQue]

Hill the Tummy Stuffer.

[Doranku]

No wonder Kyle Kutcher has the 3 pt streak record. Dude literally does nothing except camp the 3 point line.

[branslowski]

No wonder Kyle Kutcher has the 3 pt streak record. Dude literally does nothing except camp the 3 point line.

That's been his game his whole career.

[PizzamanIRL]

New Lakers PG - PG!

[PizzamanIRL]

No wonder Kyle Kutcher has the 3 pt streak record. Dude literally does nothing except camp the 3 point line.

That's a lie. He waves his hands up in the air every now and again.

[SpecialQue]

I'm going to guess it'll be a Korver 3 to end the half.

EDIT: Nevermind.

[fsvr54]

We're phukkin pathetic, I'm done with this shit.

[SpecialQue]

Pau's defense = ass.

[MVBallin2K]

Korver's streak stays alive after more than a few failed attempts. And now he's getting hot...

[oh the horror]

Korver streak ending tonight



Ok

[imnew09]

just like that we're fked :cry:


LEGGOOO

[Dr. Ice]

hawks just missing a ton of open looks tonight

[PizzamanIRL]

Ok

You were waiting, ready to post that, shitting yourself after every missed 3.

[no pun intended]

that timeout :facepalm

[bdreason]

Lakers need a PG badly. What is wrong with Steve Nash?

[no pun intended]

dantoni calls two timeouts to draw a kobe iso play that leads to a teague fastbreak and millsap and 1. wow

[oh the horror]

Lakers moving in cement out there

[bdreason]

That oop from Teague was niiiiiice.

[MVBallin2K]

This game got ugly fast. Ever since Korver hit that first three, the Hawks haven't looked back.

[SpecialQue]

Lakers doing their best Belladonna impersonation.

[Noob Saibot]

vintage hawks basketball. :applause:

[fpliii]

:(

[oh the horror]

At some point they may want to guard the three. Just saying

[Doranku]

Al Horford looks and moves like a giant, lazy tortoise. If he had a big shell on his back, I'd want to have an Al Horford with me for my kids to ride around on at the beach in 10 years.

[The-Legend-24]

I leave at the half when we're up by like 8, come back and we're down by 15. Wtf happened? :oldlol:

[SpecialQue]

Goddamn this Lakers team is great at sucking dick

[branslowski]

I leave at the half when we're up by like 8, come back and we're down by 15. Wtf happened? :oldlol:

The defense....It seems like we don't understand the concept of gaurding wideopen shooters...

[oh the horror]

Games over. They can't continue like this defensively.

[bdreason]

Watching the Lakers try to ISO old, injured Kobe is difficult.

[O_City_Thunder]

WTF Kobe?

[LONGTIME]

Kobe :lol

[DuMa]

Kobe's done

[Rik Smits' Hair]

Kobe :(

[MVBallin2K]

I was all for riding it out and seeing where things go with the roster the way it is but something really need to be done. This is sad and maybe the PGs coming back will help slightly but the defense is horrendous.

This team just isn't built to be what D'Antoni wants it to be. It never will be with Kobe and Gasol on the team. Nor should it be.

[Doranku]

Kobe's done
Relish it while you can, because once he's actually gone, your f@ggot ass won't have anything else to post about. :roll:

[DMAVS41]

Love it for both teams.

[Jacks3]

Kobe is definitely a negative at this point. That was awful.

[oh the horror]

Problem is...you got the guy that is coming in after a severe injury with a lot of new players he isn't used to playing with running the pg position


Kobe already has too much going on and should not be at pg.


D'Antoni once again riding the wheels off the guy. I was expecting him to be eased in slowly.

[andremiller07]

Jordan Hill is the pick up of the season for fantasy basketball

[hawkfan]

Where's hotatlantadude?

The Hawks' favorite critic on ISH.

It's not a real game thread until he says something negative about the Hawks.

:lol
