Taking shots like this will generally make you less efficient but….

[1987_Lakers]

gasol soft euro who did nothing without kobe, especially if you utilize the heavy on playoff criteria

bynum an all around terrible player who was literally out of the league post kobe

lamar odom the lazy guy who’s into drugs and eating candy

derek fisher who ****s other dudes wives and beefs

sasha?

luke walton?

shannon brown?

ariza was a nice role playing defender but yeah


To try to act like that team isn’t total dogshit without kobe is being completely disingenuous.

If LeBron had that team we wouldnt hear the end of the beating of the drum “he needs more help.”

What in the fvck is this shit?

[warriorfan]

What in the fvck is this shit?

Do you see LeBron doing anything with this cast? Or will it be “he needs more help” once again?

btw don’t even respond, go away. we don’t need more derailing by low iq’s we have had more than enough of that already

Why even respond with "LeBron"? It's pretty obvious your insecurity about him has you taking low IQ takes by trying to shit on Kobe's cast.

For what it's worth, the Lakers were 6-3 without Kobe in 2010. Gasol was widely looked at as the best 2nd option in the league around that time, and even though Bynum was injured alot during that time, it's flat out retarded to say he was a "terrible player", many felt he was the 2nd best center in the league in 2012 behind Dwight. Hell, Odom was a 17/10/4 player before he got traded to the Lakers.

You mentioned LeBron because it breaks your heart knowing he will always be looked at as a greater player than Curry after what happened in 2016.

You can leave now.

[Hey Yo]

I’m not gonna search it up but you downplayed Kevin Loves insane statistics in minnesota. That’s all i’m saying. And yes I have used PER with Bosh because that’s one of LeBron dudes favorite stats. If you wanna use PER to prop bron then you gotta deal with it propping up his teammates. That’s just how it goes. Kevin Love would have made the playoffs and got swept if he was in the Eastern Conference. He finished with more wins than the Hawks who got in. All i’m saying is if you want to take Pau’s production for face value and downplay Love and Bosh it’s being disingenuous.

You've referred to Bosh as a superstar many times, while also saying the EC was complete garbage at the time. Yet, your superstar could only win 3 playoff games over 7yrs in the so-called 'garbage conference'

peep his team hombre

you would be bawling your ****ing eyes out if bron was on any of those trash teams

According to you, the entire conference was trash, which should have led to more postseason success for your superstar, no?

He needed more help

Warriorfan getting brutally bullied as usual. Poor guy is gonna have another crack-fueled binge of sobbing for a week

[8Ball]

I don't think we should encourage young players to play that way. Just like we should not encourage young players to shoot like Curry/Trae.

It worked out for Kobe and Curry but we should encourage young players the exact opposite of that.

Sorry pops but one of them is a much better shooter than the other.

[8Ball]

….being great at them will generally make you more reliable in situations where you can’t assume a good shot will present itself. Often clutch situations.






So…. should we or should we not not encourage young players to play that way?

I remember a few years ago people blamed an off-season of Kobe tutelage for Tatum coming out taking a lot of bad shots and having an off year. I don’t know how true it is, but I definitely read about it.

Obviously being great at it is of some benefit but to get great…you have to work up to it. That build up might be ugly.

Where do you stand?

Which player in the league takes bad contested 2s like this?


I can't name one.


You can't run a modern offence with a large volume of bad mid range 2s from your leading scorer, you simply don't score enough points to make it worth while.

DeRozan.

DeRozan.

Derozan has better shot selection than Kobe did.

And you're unpredictable. Trashing Gasol while hyping Bosh and Love.

Hmmm.....
