Sixers @ Lakeshow presented by we have it all figured out!

[ElNono]

:lol Bynum

[DeadlyDynasty]

I'd like 22 and 15 out of Dwight tonight

[Reck]

I sure do miss vbookies.

Bring it back timvp Kori Ellis

[ElNono]

Is Holiday gonna play?

[Bynumite]

Expecting another sig worthy haircut from Bynum tbh. A win would be nice too :lol

[Bynumite]

Preview of tonight's game vs Philly:

[Venti Quattro]

Holy shit, the Sixers have Bynum and Kwame. One is physically injured and the other is mentally injured :lmao

And of course, the Lakers are gonna get blown out of the building.

[racm]

This would probably be a blowout if the Sixers could actually make shots, tbh.

[Cry Havoc]

Holy shit, the Sixers have Bynum and Kwame. One is physically injured and the other is mentally injured :lmao

And of course, the Lakers are gonna get blown out of the building.

Nice edit. :lol

[Cry Havoc]

This would probably be a blowout if the Sixers could actually make shots, tbh.

Uh... they're 7-9 to start. What do you want?

[racm]

Uh... they're 7-9 to start. What do you want?

Ah, thought they were worse.

[racm]

wtf Kobe

[DPG21920]

Kobe trolling Kwame with the hands of stone.

[Bynumite]

Holy shit, the Sixers have Bynum and Kwame. One is physically injured and the other is mentally injured :lmao


That's disrespectful... Kwame taught Bynum everything he knows.

[Cry Havoc]

Hill's hurt. Lakers can't afford to be without their best big TBH.

[racm]

Kobe with hops

[ElNono]

Sixers with the halftime lead... They're going to need at least a double-digit lead going into the 4th, that's why I have the Lakers winning this game, tbh

[Killakobe81]

LOL Kobe taking shots away from our uber efficient front line ... Smh

[irishock]

Kobe has to get his 40 of course

[Killakobe81]

Great dunk by Dwight

[Killakobe81]

Jrue killing us good young PG, UCLA product of course

[Brunodf]

LOL Kobe taking shots away from our uber efficient front line ... Smh

:dizzy

[DPG21920]

LOL Kobe taking shots away from our uber efficient front line ... Smh

Dwight Averages: 18 points, 12 rebounds, 2.5 blocks on 57% FG (which is about top 15 in the entire league for guys that play more than 5 minutes a game).

:cry It's not good enough or efficient!

[ElNono]

Dwight has 5 points right now though, and Gasol is 2/8... Almost end of the 3rd... Is it the Kwame Brown effect or Spencer Hawes is THAT nigga?

[Trainwreck2100]

:lol that fucking possesion

[ElNono]

8 point lead going into the 4th not likely enough... gg Sixers

[SpursIndonesia]

JRue is playing plenty good against scrubby PGs of the Lakers, quite impressive. :D

[DAF86]

Nash, Dwigth and Pau - 23 shots
Kobe - 21 shots

[Killakobe81]

Dwight Averages: 18 points, 12 rebounds, 2.5 blocks on 57% FG (which is about top 15 in the entire league for guys that play more than 5 minutes a game).

:cry It's not good enough or efficient!

You will never win an argument with just stats with me ... I killed Kobe for taking 41shots. But tonight dwight is shooting poor from the field and the ft line. Pau bricking too

[Cry Havoc]

LOL Kobe taking shots away from our uber efficient front line ... Smh

So, one bad game from the Lakers front line and you're willing to advocate for Kobe to chuck? K. It's worked SO well for you thus far this season.

[Killakobe81]

18 and 9 for Jrue is impressive no matter who he playing

[Brunodf]

LOL Artest is chucking too

[Brazil]

Howard is just awful right now

[racm]

You will never win an argument with just stats with me ... I killed Kobe for taking 41shots. But tonight dwight is shooting poor from the field and the ft line. Pau bricking too

Jordan Hill has been the best Laker big tonight.

[Brazil]

The sixers are on top of that a very bad team on the road

[Bynumite]

With Kobe, Dwight etc. on the floor, why are they going to MWP so much?

[Killakobe81]

tHorrible last possesion by Kobe, but can't argue for more shots for our bigs we need more shooters
to open things up Nash needs to be more aggressive shooting and creating...tbh

[Killakobe81]

Jordan Hill has been the best Laker big tonight.

I agree.

[Killakobe81]

We may need to get Kwame in foul trouble to free Dwight tbh ...

[Killakobe81]

Nice play by mwp followed by a dumb one

[Killakobe81]

1 for 16 from 3 ... but Lakers keep chucking

[ElNono]

It's a freebie parade for the Lakeshow already... That's why Sixers needed a big lead, tbh

[Killakobe81]

Mwp wtf?!

[Brunodf]

Wut? Artest shots high contested jumpers but wont take a wide open 3pt?

[Cry Havoc]

You will never win an argument with just stats with me ... I killed Kobe for taking 41shots. But tonight dwight is shooting poor from the field and the ft line. Pau bricking too

The point is that you should be running an offense with multiple points of attack. Not letting an entire offense be dictated by one player. Wasn't Nash supposed to make a difference?

[irishock]

Going down the stretch again?

How many games is that for LA?

[Clipper Nation]

Looks like another 40+ minute night for Kobe and Nash, tbh...

[irishock]

Artest, wow.

[irishock]

I might be sold on the notion that the Lakers aren't the best team in LA after all.

[Brunodf]

HAck-a-Hawes

[irishock]

Bryant bricks a wild one.

[Brunodf]

Kobe:lol

[Paranoid Pop]

It's pretty impressive how much better the sixers offense look compared to last year...

[Danny.Zhu]

Hawes's BBIQ is impressive.

[ElNono]

I don't think Lakers have won a single game where I started the game thread... Not that Spurstalk posters determine the outcome of games or anything...

[irishock]

LOL Pau stuffed by Hawes

[Brunodf]

DH clutch FTs

[irishock]

Bryant with a clutch 3.

[SpursIndonesia]

LOL JRich, a shooting guard missing TWO important FTs at the end of a prestigious & important game. :lol

[Cry Havoc]

Kobe jacking shit up as usual.

[Clipper Nation]

Sixers regressing back to their under .500 in the East selves, tbh...

[Mal]

Hawes !

[irishock]

ROFL

[Mal]

:lmao

[024]

rofl kobe

[racm]

Dagger dunk tbh

[Clipper Nation]

:lol Lakers

[ElNono]

:lmao wtf was that???

[024]

richardson gifting the game to the lakers and they still can't capitalize because of kobe's chucking

[irishock]

LMFAO

[Brunodf]

Kobe is so clutch:rollin

[Trainwreck2100]

:lmao wtf was that???

:lol that's exactly what I said

[Cry Havoc]

:lmao Kobe.

[Clipper Nation]

:lol Kobe in the clutch

[birdy219]

:downspin:

[Cry Havoc]

CLUTCH. SO CLUTCH.

[Cry Havoc]

28 shots, 0 assists.

[Jodelo]

Poor Richardson. Had money on the Lakers and could not get it done...

[irishock]

Another timeout after this play. Philly better not fuck up

[Mal]

lol Turner. Forcing Kobe to miss another one

[Duncan2177]

Lakers suck:lmao

[Brunodf]

:lmaoSixers choking 0-4 in the last 4 FTs

[ElNono]

Goddamn Sixers choking this thing at the line

[irishock]

Line was LA Lakers -8


so Richardson obviously wasn't playing the spread with that shot

[Danny.Zhu]

76 choking.

[SpursIndonesia]

NBA starting players, swingmen, can't hit even a single FT out of two, damn !

[Trainwreck2100]

lol playing rihanna during a timeout

[Mal]

Kobe with buzzer beater ! What a great shot

[Brunodf]

:lol:lmao:rollin:eyebrows

[SpursIndonesia]

Dang KOBE, what a fantastic shot made ? GREAT CLOSER EVER PLAYED ............

:lol

[Clipper Nation]

:lmao Can we finally put the "Kobe is clutch" myth to rest now?

[Killakobe81]

Lakers deserve this loss our elite frontline didn't show up and Kobe was not his clutch self good night ...oh and Chuck was right non contenders this Laker team ...hawes outplayed Pau and Dwight smh ...

[Bynumite]

Sixers did everything they could to give LAL this W but Lakers didn't want it.

[racm]

The Sixers missed their last 4 FTs but still win. :lmao

[Reck]

LOL these faggots cant even pull out a win with 4 days rest. :lol

[Killakobe81]

:lmao Can we finally put the "Kobe is clutch" myth to rest now?
One game is gonna put something to rest? LOL Pau getting blocked I have to laugh not to cry ..but at least paiu attacked.

[racm]

LOL these faggots cant even pull out a win with 4 days rest. :lol

While the Spurs get two consecutive blowouts in their latest back-to-back. :rollin

[Cry Havoc]

One game is gonna put something to rest?

No, statistics put that to rest long ago. Kobe is a horrible clutch-time performer.

[irishock]

:lmao Can we finally put the "Kobe is clutch" myth to rest now?

In the past I wouldn't have agreed with you


but after 31 games into the year, it has come to me that Kobe Bryant is simply an average player down the stretch.

[Latarian Milton]

teams were having a contest of bricking shots and it's apparent the lakers beat sixers to this end

[DPG21920]

One game is gonna put something to rest? LOL Pau getting blocked I have to laugh not to cry ..but at least paiu attacked.

You just used one game to call your stacked front court not efficient when I posted Dwights season long stats to prove otherwise.

[Cry Havoc]

lakers have hurt me bad if watching them lose feels this good

[Mal]

In the past I wouldn't have agreed with you


but after 31 games into the year, it has come to me that Kobe Bryant is simply an average player down the stretch.

Average players is standing in the corner and watching all star player finishing the game.

Dump shitty big ego players are constatly shooting and missing important shots.

Killakobe81 - could you please go through this article and debate against these points? Or do you agree with the article? If not, I think it would make for a great debate by you and I am interested to hear your thoughts on it detailed by refuting these well thought out and researched points in the article.

[Killakobe81]

No I did not, read it again ... I believe I Saud TONIGHT, but reading is FUNDAMENTAL ...DPG

[Killakobe81]

You will never win an argument with just stats with me ... I killed Kobe for taking 41shots. But tonight dwight is shooting poor from the field and the ft line. Pau bricking too

Didnt put tonight in first post but it was a game thread but here was my reply to you ...which makes that pretty clear

True hoop, nope. Debated that on ESPN boards long ago. Will not rehash here. Some great points about Kobe not having many clutch.assists but Abbott is a Kobe hater. So he loses credibility with me ...

[Koolaid_Man]

LOL these faggots cant even pull out a win with 4 days rest. :lol

give them a break it was new years...:lol ok I'm kidding..feel free to bend me over Spur fan....my team sucks ass right now and we will until we get rid of Gasol and someone finally gets the balls to start calling Dwight out for coasting until he signs his next big contract.Dwight is certainly planning on staying in LA no way he's planning to go else where and still EXPECT to get a max contract with his performance to date...he's playing like he's trying to avoid getting hurt in a contract year...it's a bad mix especially when Pau knows he's about to get traded.

[DMC]

"get rid of Gasol" lol

You play the Laker fan to a T my friend, to a T.

[Capt Bringdown]

James Worthy: "I don't know what D'Antoni does to allow Kobe to take ridiculous shots down the stretch."

[Koolaid_Man]

"get rid of Gasol" lol

You play the Laker fan to a T my friend, to a T.

we suck ass right now...hopefully we'll get rid of Gasol, secretly pay someone with a microphone to write a bad article about Dwight or call him out publicly on ESPN as an anonymous source, and convince Artest he's not the 2nd coming of a prime Reggie Miller...we fucked up bad by not hiring Phil....if nothing else he would have brought the respect factor and personal accountability factor...if we're going to compete for a title we need to get rid of Gasol and I fear Artest even though he's our Junk Yard Dog...

I didn't watch the game but as far as I'm concerned the only two people that should be taking shots down the stretch are Nash, Kobe, and Meeks (if he's open for the 3)..no one else should be shooting

James Worthy has never won rings
He doesn't know what he's talking about
Kobe can do what ever he wants, he scores 30 points a game (http://forums.lakersground.net/viewtopic.php?t=154640)

HAHAHHAHAH

If Kobe touches the ball, the other two are not going to shoot. The ball dies with Kobe as do your title hopes. Howard found a place where he can hide. You bury an all star center on a team with the components to win a ring, especially a center that's as immature as Howard, and you're asking for them to ride it out. He's already thinking about his next move. Kobe already calls the team old, Nash and Mike D are buddy buddy and Kobe is the bastard step child. Very odd dynamic with that franchise, from Buss down to the last guy on the bench, it's a recipe for disaster. If they pull out of it, I will be shocked.

However, if a team's season rides on who takes the last shot, you're not getting far anyhow. You have to beat teams you're supposed to beat. Right now your team is worse than the sum of it's parts, much worse.

No credibility, dude is a Kobe hater. Dude is like racist who tells you he is not racist but argues That black people are lazy Asians can't drive and Jews are greedy. He has made numerous posts on the Kobeis not clutch etc. but constantly says he does not "hate" Kobe Bryant. If he is just stating facts that would not be necessary. The thing is I dont think he hates Bryant teh person ...would be silly since he doesnt know him, but the "way he plays" ...which makes some sense because as a Laker fan sometimes I detests Kobe's shot selection ... but the fact he doesnt admit his bias makes his opinions on the matter useless. And i dont need his stats because there are plenty of others that have done a better job making that point.

Let me just say this ... Kobe is not the most clutch player since MJ. But he is also not the 50th or 60th as some morons try to argue he is somewhere in between. But teh reason I reject stats I saw one where MWP and others were considered more "efcient" in the clutch which basically renders those numbers moot. If you want to tell me Paul is a better clutch player I would listen ...though obviously he has not proven that yet in the playoffs. And those that point at Melo give me a break, I do think he is clutch ...but he has played in only 1 important series in his career so far. So when I say he is clutch Im saying that I would take Kobe for one SHOT (not play where I would take Paul or Lebron) because he has taken made and missed the most ... but I trust his shot making over most of the players of this era.

Now the flip side of the coin is game 7 2010 ... Though Kobe stepped up late ... we saw everything good and bad about Kobe Bean Bryant. He took some horrible shots (but also missed some easy ones) and kept bricking and chucking. But yet still we saw how competitive he was grabbing rebounds doing whatever else he could to bring home that title. Maybe it would of been easier if he shot less, who knows? Everyone was bricking shots on both sides ... except MWP who was truly clutch. So know Im not on the Kobe is the undisputed clutch assasin bandwagon but to say he is not clutch at all is pretty stupid.

IF i need a play to be made: I want Paul or Lebron because they will make a play to get a team-mate a good look

If it is catch and shoot only: Im taking Ray Allen over anyone ... still Derek Fisher would also get some love from me

IF it's clutch Ft's: Nash, Ray Cp3 Dirk

If it's a 1 on 1 need a shot: Kobe, Melo Pierce

IF i need a quick 2 or Ft's to stop the clock: I want Lebron period.

So for me clutch is not as simple as some stats there are different situations that require different skills but in today's game RIGHT now Lebron is the best answer to most of those questions especially since he has improved his FT shooting Paul might be just behind him ...

And no I dont need stats to answer any of those ...

You lost me at "title hopes" ... No credibility if you believe dat, I never even bought that.

[wanggi]

The drama is simple: Pau Gasol came and helped the Fakers up to mountain top, then, this aging fella drags the Fakers down to the ground.

That Game 7 in 2010 was a chance to erase any doubts about Kobe being clutch forget the last 30 seconds or whatever stat you use, that was Kobe's chance to enter the MJ discussion and he failed. It doesnt mean he isnt still great but it just confirmed for me he is anotch below MJ Magic Kareem ... but hey most great players are not on that level.
