Yeah I’m not trying to make light of what happened but I’ve seen players play the day after their mom/dad/sibling die, and I’d think that’s more emotionally taxing than this. That game is like 3 full days after, how long should it be delayed for before people move on with their lives?

no way of knowing but I doubt Kobe himself would want so many players to be pussies over this and using it as a reason to not play....heck if MJ died in a helicopter crash when Kobe was still playing Kobe would go out and drop 50.

And it makes sense. Maybe it sounded like I was making a rethoric question, but I was honestly asking. The only thing I remembered was that US Open.

Still, not at all similar circumstances. One was a terrorist act that shook the entire World and the other is a tragic, but low scale, accident. It isn't the first time an ex-athlete dies of unnatural circumstances and, from what I recall, most times sporting events didn't get suspended.

What people are missing is that the Lakers asked the league to postpone the game. They just didn't feel like they could play yet under these circumstances, which is totally understandable. No other games are getting postponed.

I agree tbh. Players don't take off that long when a family member dies and not to be insensitive but...it's basketball. :lol at people comparing this to a regular 9-5. Heck, most average Joes consider recreational activities like basketball a release from their everyday lives. I get that it's a tragedy but it probably wouldn't hurt to put it all in a bit of perspective tbh

Do people really wanna watch the Lakers play that badly that they can't wait a few days? I'm a lakerfan and i think i'll be alright.

Games are postponed every now and then and players miss games all the time for personal reasons. It's really not that serious tbh.

DAF86
01-27-2020, 11:22 PM
Yeah I understand the Lakers postponing games, losing Kobe was basically losing an immediate family member for the Lakers.

Irving just wanted an excuse to sit out though.

How so? Was Kobe working for the Lakers and the players got to form a close bond with him? Again, not a rethoric question, genuinely asking. I haven't been paying much attention to the NBA this season.

If that wasn't the case, then I don't see why a folk like Anthony Davis should give more of a fuck about Kobe dying than any other player in the league.

You guys make no sense. It wasn't just about the players. Lakers are a family run business. Kobe was an employee for over 20 years interacting with the owners and most of the infrastructure. They brought in grief counselors for the staff... It's not just about Anthony Davis or the players he played or did not play with.

Melo is a career loser. Fantastic scorer. But he’s never won shit. He only got out of the first round a couple of times, when Chauncey dragged him to the WCF. And another time in the shit Eastern Conference when it was basically Miami and everyone else. He’ll likely get into the Hall. Heck, T-Mac got in like it wasn’t even a question and he’s a career loser too. T-Mac was the greater talent though. But not necessarily more accomplished since his career ended rather early relatively because of injuries. But I will say this, when T-Mac was in his prime years, he was arguably a top 5 maybe even top 3 player in the league for a stretch of seasons. I don’t believe Melo was ever viewed as in the conversation among the 3-5 best players in the league, not in any season let alone several in a row.

In fact, the better comparison might be his childhood hero, Bernard King. Fantastic scorer. Really, really great at times. But when you think of his era of basketball and you list the great ones even beyond Magic and Larry and Michael, you start getting into Charles and Karl, Nique and Zeke, and some of the guys a little younger than him like Hakeem and Clyde, Admiral that extend into the 90s. But you’d go through a dozen maybe a couple dozen names before you think about Bernard King.

30 years from now, remembering the 2000s, Melo won’t even register as a blip on the spectrum of great players to start the century. He’ll receive more recognition for being close friends with some of the greats of this era than he will for being one.

Jammie trippin :lol

He didn't win in the West (Nuggets) because Kobe was in his way. In the East (Knicks), he had to go thru Bron. No shame in losing to those guys. :lol

He won an NCAA championship as a Freshman. He also won 3 Gold Medals (Duncan doesn't have even :lolne).
10x all star.
6x all NBA.
20th all time scorer (895 points from passing Nique, Duncan, Gervin and Paul Pierce) for 15th.

On top of that, he knocked up LaLa. :wow He going into the HOF, 1st ballotPERI:lolD

endrity
01-30-2020, 11:38 AM
He only played once against Kobe in the west, when the Nuggets really had a good team. He never accomplished much beyond that 2009 season in the west. And in the East, losing to LeBron in the semis is respectable. The problem is never doing anything else beside 2012. Melo wasn't losing series to all-time greats, he was barely making the playoffs to begin with, even when the conference was historically weak.

And I agree on the T-Mac comparison as well. 2002-05 T-Mac was without a doubt Top 5 material, if not higher, for his physical and basketball skills. Hard to know what would have happened since he essentially broke down after that. I don't think Melo ever reached that echelon, not even close.

I think youre basically saying this already, but I think characterizing T-Mac as a career loser comparable to someone like Melo is a little harsh. A lot of his failures were due to injuries to himself/teammates as well as other bad luck. When healthy prime T-Mac had the “it” factor in terms of ability to influence the outcome of games more than Melo ever did.

Can't pin all of tmac losses on bad luck and injuries. I agree at their peaks he was better than Melo, but I hate when people make excuses for players they like, but not for a similar player they don't. Tmac was better and I enjoyed his game more than Melos but neither won when it mattered most in the pros. Both only won with Team USA or Melo in college.

I had a similar idea to this and posted it awhile back, but not the dumb 4th qtr part. It was about making each qtr count as opposed to the constant, huge blowouts we see based on the 3 point analytics game It would also save player fatigue over the course of the season.

My idea for the season, though I recognize will never be considered, was to start each qtr at 0-0. The goal is win each qtr. If a team wins the first 3, the game is over. If teams are tied 2-2, then there is a 5 minute overtime to determine the winner.

I think this would bring more exciting and effort to the game, instead of just waiting till the last 6 minutes to turn it on like the good teams do. The only thing is stats would be dramatically altered and that’s a big no-no.

The last time I tuned into or cared about an All Star Game was at least 20 years ago, so good on them for trying something new. That said, I still won’t be watching, those changes sound retarded.

Can't pin all of tmac losses on bad luck and injuries. I agree at their peaks he was better than Melo, but I hate when people make excuses for players they like, but not for a similar player they don't. Tmac was better and I enjoyed his game more than Melos but neither won when it mattered most in the pros. Both only won with Team USA or Melo in college.

Slow your role bruh. Luka >>>>> PED user tbh

Imagine Luka and Booker as your foundational players for a decade :wow

Would have to change their name to the Phoenix Funs :lol

Why is this PED thing such a common myth? Ayton never used PEDs, PEDs were never detected in his body, there has been zero evidence of him using PEDs. He took a diuretic, word on the street is that it was to mask his marijuana use.

Luka would not even be doing half of what he's done in Dallas if the Suns had drafted him. Booker and Doncic simply would not mix well together, and Doncic would have had to defer to Booker.

I would not trade Ayton for Doncic straight up even now. We already have a great guard, what we needed was a defensive and rebounding anchor at center, which Ayton is quickly becoming. He also has the potential for greatness on the offensive end, and will likely be over 20 ppg by the end of this season. It takes awhile for bigs to adjust to the NBA.

As far as who will end up as the better player, only the next several years will tell us that. But Ayton was the right pick for the Suns at #1.

Kuzma is clearly not the 3rd option Lakers expected him to be. Occasionally, he will have a 30+ point outburst but he's simply not capable of giving the Lakers 15 to 20 on a regular basis. This team is extremely top heavy.

Ship him out while you still can get some decent value. Let him parade his faggot hairstyles and outfits in Detroit. It's maddening. He isn't relied upon to be a superstar, so I don't know if the pressure is too much for him or he's just not very good. I don't want to think that of him, but his disappearing act and questionable bball IQ is concerning with the trade deadline just 2 days away.

It's not to much for him... That's horseshit. He is a rhythm player who is not able to generate any except when AD is out. I say keep him because the return is not worth it. I'd rather have his occasional 30 pt game than some consistent 15 pt guy...

Bruh, he was being guarded by guys half his size all game and only went off when the 3s started falling late. He is literally on his last legs and has bern definitely struggling to impose his will this year like he has in years past.

Scariest part for the Lakers is that, with Morris, the Clippers have the personnel to beat them with small ball just like Houston just did - and we can still put Zubac in whenever we need rim protection.

Problem is playing with LeBron doesn’t make others better. They become dependent on his bullshit passes and stand around the rest of the time at the 3 point line. LeBron on your team means the whole offense has to go through him every time and not flow like a normal good team

plus lebron is so obviously coasting after getting the team off to a good start, now just trying to create opportunities for his teammates to score and boost their confidence (and get kuzma to find some way to actually be worth a crap)

when the game slows down in the playoffs as it always does, thats going to make AD's post game so much more useful

and when lebron turns into playoff lebron, its gonna be pretty much impossible to stop the LBJ/AD pick and roll. you can see in the few minutes here and there that lebron actually tries to be a scoring threat, that their PnR is the most unstoppable play in the NBA
