Bonzi gave him trouble cause he was bigger. Smitty Pip...hell nah. GS got a buncha frail boys. He was giving KD work way past his athletic prime.

You sure you want to Pull up 2012....OKC vs LAL series #'s

Kobe was GREAT that year btw. Y'all going stop fronting on Kevin Durant like he not one of the greatest players of recent.

I think you have your years mixed up. That was his worst season other than his first couple years as a teenager and his post-Achilles years. He was a low-efficiency chucker that year. Out there going 3-21 and 3-20 and 6-28 and 4-15 and 5-18 and 7-25 and 9-31 and 7-24 and ****. :x Leading the league in usage at almost 36% (top 10 highest ever in a season) even though he was shooting like **** and had Pau and Bynum on his team. That season was just flat out selfish. He was much better the next year in '12-'13.

Not sure if describing Kobe's shooting or Russ'

I should have sourced my post in case they were wrong.

You saw what Mike Bibby and Troy Hudson and even Damon Stoudemire did to LAL for stretches.

Now imagine Steph freaking curry

Shhhhhhh

No sense is aloud to be made here.

The first thing I thought about was Mike Bibby when I saw a mention of this matchup . I used to practice coming off screens like him in that era. He was so precise

Yeah, just looked up a few.

Wilt went 3 consecutive seasons with 5+ apg

Those other stats though 

Bill Russell has also averaged 5 apg for one season

[lynchpin33]

Kobe was getting passed around against Portland

Smitty
Bonzi
Old Pip

He's getting cooked

Bonzi gave him trouble cause he was bigger. Smitty Pip...hell nah. GS got a buncha frail boys. He was giving KD work way past his athletic prime.

EVERYTIME Bonzi took Kobe the block it was ugly.

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

Bonzi was like this bouncy ball that made it look like he had a force field when Kobe guarded him

Bonzi and that damn mole

 

[noblekane]

bonzi reminded me of pennys mother who beat her on good times

3. James Harden, Russell Westbrook  … Al Horford? Since March 15th, Horford’s 18.4 points, 8.4 rebounds, and 6 assists over five games, and he joins Harden and Westbrook as the only two players to have accomplished that feat during that span. His 5.0 assists per game on the season is historically good for a center, as only Joakim Noah  (5.4 assists per game in 2013-14) and Vlade Divac (5.3 in 2003-04). Boston has been staggering his and Isaiah Thomas’s  minutes as of late (Horford played close to 10 minutes with Thomas off the floor in his last game, for example), playing Horford with the second unit.

He played 47 minutes a game and averaged only 24, 23, and 8 per game?? Per NT analytics, this would be a pedestrian statline

 Ive never believed that Westbrook "pads" his rebounds, but... he is DEAD LAST in shot contests.  CENTERS contest more jumpers than him.

 

[noblekane]

welp

caught red handed

i wonder where he was on that list the last previous years? that would be even more telling

Can we see the list for this by any chance

 

[trueprada]

 Westbrook ranks dead last in the NBA in contested shots among players averaging 30 or more MPG by a considerable margin. Hilariously, the only two players who have contested less 3P FGA’s are Rudy Gobert and Whiteside, who have contested 53 and 64 respectively. Russell Westbrook is at 69 while having playing [sic] close to the same amount of minutes…Yes, DeAndre Jordan has contested more 3P FGA’s this season than Russell Westbrook.

thats awful

thats defensive crippling

 

[dman14]

muhgs be discrediting russ. acting like he just lets his man shoot and runs for the board

ya want him to focus on running/closing out on defender, jumping and contesting and still have energy to run the offense???

 

[trueprada]

thats awful

imagine that?

thats defensive crippling

 

[MVP]

OKC is a top 10 team in defensive efficiency though.

 

[carver]

DeMar DeAcne, Kyrie and KCP are all dew dew as well going off them statistics 

 

[noblekane]
