Cleveland Lotto Picks @ Los Angeles Lakers

Dam Mike Brown still screams his head off.

[Killakobe81]

Irving, Thompson and Verejao are a good core.

Kobe going to get 40+ again, he's being efficient. At least he's not bricking, I guess

Granted I only lurk here occasionally, but the few times I've seen your posts on here you seem pretty negative towards Kobe. He absolutely can chuck too much at times and hurt the team, but he's a very efficient and really good player overall.

Also, the fact that he's as good as he is in his 16th year in the league is absurd. It's not normal for guys to play at this high of a level at this stage of their careers.

I never knock Kobe, really, but I'll criticize him for shooting out of games we would otherwise win. He's terribly inefficient behind the arc this year, but continues to try 5+ shots a game.

He's been brutal from 3 this year, but he hasn't shot below 32% from three for a full season in 10 years so some of that is obviously variance, as it's only been 12 games. He has been trending downwards a little the last few years in that category though, so it is something to keep an eye on.

That being said, dude is clearly gunning for 40 points tonight.

Going down with age is redundant to me criticizing him for doing more than he knows he can do sometimes. He should also cut it with the 40+ games because he doesn't have the gas in the tank to continue it the entire season + playoffs.

Of course he's going for 40 tonight... it's the Washington Generals...

[pass1st]

Don't get a T Kobe

[ElNono]

bavetta should just retire, tbh

[pass1st]

[ElNono]

i never understood his thing for sticking around... he could be sipping margaritas in Hawaii for whatever is left of his life...

[ElNono]

they're not better than Boston or Milwaukee though...

[KidCongo]

Cavs aren't the worst team in the east. Cavs>Wizards, Nets, Bobcats, Pistons

[jmill]

Bringing that three point % up

[pass1st]

Morris is a good passer tbh

[KidCongo]

No where near as bad as a year ago and much better to watch. No-one's crying about LeBron leaving like they did this time last year.
