Lin gets the blame but he was looking at Scott who is clueless...

not lins fault but still something he can learn from, rather than always looking at the coach or kobe he needs to make what he thinks is the right basketball play

CP your thoughts on Team Tank Member Ed Davis now?
I think Kobe needs to find a balance between 11 and 24 shots a game in all honesty. Team still needs him to have some assertiveness on offense as a scorer.

I disagree.
The "team" doesn't have a chance, so theirs no point in Kobe chucking 26 shots "trying" to win.
I'd rather him stay in the 11-14 shot range and play Kobe Johnson ball. You can tell it helps the young guys stay motivated and play hard.
What is him shooting 26 shots going to do for us this year? Maybe add 3-4 more wins to the final standings? But make him look worse and worse every night?

I didn't say take 26 though.
I said in between.
There's ineffectiveness both ways. Where he gets too shot happy, and too pass happy. Both hurt rhythm, shot happy being worse of the too. Pass happy leads to more turnovers by trying to force a pass (last night he didn't, but 2 previous were a problem). Also he gives up plays where he could score without much effort to pass.
There's a balance for him that he still has to reach.

Byron is so clueless. Talkin bout that was his judgment call, he wanted to wait until Conley got past half court and foul at the 10 second mark
Like wtf?! What coach does that. Down by one you foul ASAP to stretch the game out not wait to the 10 second mark "cuz you figured it didn't matter cuz you were gonna get another shot"
What if Conley would have came down and hit a 3 dumb dumb.

As great as Kobe is he is not Chris Paul.
I say that to say we can't ask him to flip the switch from gunner to passer when he pleases. It doesn't work like that for him. He's not a scoring point guard just a shooting guard that's decent at dribbling and passing. He is either gonna have 11 shots or 30. Just the way it is.
At this stage of his career I prefer Kobe playing like he has for the past few games. The team as a whole looks much better. And Kobe honestly looks better he doesn't look like he has one foot in the grave due to exhaustion.

I feel you.
But he hasn't reached that balance in 19 seasons... You really think he'll just find it overnight in the last year of his 20 season careed?
He's always been an extremist. It's been a good and a bad thing at times. But you can't change a tigers stripes, especially when that tiger is in his 19th/20th season

It's chess, but no need for excel on my part. They barely let me glance at a sheet of paper with items they want counted. In seconds I can identify the items in my head, read back 7 and 10 digit part numbers they had listed (remember, all I get is a glance) then I can tell them what bin each part is in (out of 300+ possibilities) and then, specifically where each part is located within the bin, ex front right, back middle, left hand corner, etc. On top of that, just off part number, I already know quantity in the bin. We don't once, look at my computer to verify where the parts are, or how many we're lookin for until AFTER I've already showed them.
Like I said, assassin should be my title moreso than specialist.
Never changed. I love the kid. I've been saying that since the preseason.
But I don't love him more than a top 5 pick and our 2017 pick. So if I can get something for him, and help let this season fall by the wayside, then so be it.
Ed Davis and nothing else
Or
Something for Davis, a top 5, and 2017 1st.
Pretty easy to see what I rather have.
Now, if Mitch can sell off Hill/Lin/Sacre and keep Davis, but still help the tank, then certainly that's my preference. I just imagine Davis being more in demand. Hopefully I'm wrong.

I'm not mad at the strategy, it's definitely what we need but this dude is literally clueless.

Hornets win.
Just need the Jazz to hold on, though a T'Wolves win wouldn't be the end of the world.
