Kobe is the best player on the Lakers, not Dwight.

[rhythmic]

Pretty sure there were stretches of the game where Dwight was the only starter on the floor with the shitty Lakers bench.

THANK YOU.
Quit using the stupid +/- stat, it's worthless. Howard plays 6-10 minutes with 4 bench player to start the 2nd and 4th quarters, and our bench STINKS besides Hill; on both ends.

Nets = 6-3
Pacers = 5-7



just saying

I don't believe in the Pacers. As long as Granger remains arguably their best player and Paul George still remains outside an all star caliber player I can't see them making serious noise.

Who ran the offense? Kobe
Who controlled the defense? Dwight
Who took over the game? Kobe

6-3

Let me correct it you ride kobe's jock before this season happy?

Dwight's +/- was -4

Bryant's +/- was +20

That has more to do with rotations. Dwight plays 12+ minutes with the bench where as Kobe plays almost none.

Kobe went through a stretch not doing anything. His 4th qtr was alright. Did most of his damage in the first half (or first qtr rather). POG = Dwight, albeit it's close.

Who ran the offense? Kobe

Who took over the game? REFS

Good thing last season never happened and this season is over and you're not a retard that doesn't use +/- to prove something

Just for fun, it's worth throwing out there that YES (Yankees channel, broadcasts Nets games in the NYC area) actually picked Pau as the player of the game.

Anyhow, I don't have a dog in this, but in terms of impact ('best' player in a vacuum means little to me tbh) you gotta go with Dwight just looking at the team as a whole. Thus far though it's been Kobe, though we'll have to see how sustainable his insane level of play is (plus Dwight was pretty shafty defensively during the first few games with Mike Brown) as the season progresses.

So Dwight playing 10-12 minutes of the game with Duhon, Meeks, Jamison, and Hill compared to almost zero for Kobe means nothing when talking about +/-?

Agreed. So far Kobe. Will see if he can sustain this play, god knows beans has many miles on those old legs.

I'm not really sure how people can say Kobe was the better player tonight. Are people really that biased?

23pts 15reb 3ast 4blk on 73% vs 23pts 4reb 5ast on 53%

Dwight was terrible from the line(7-19), but was still the better player overall, especially when you consider both sides of the ball.
