I'm a big kobe stan but I don't like how he exerts so much more energy on those fade aways than on defense. If he is not 100% yet don't force it on offense. Yeah you can take it easy on defense but why struggle so much on offense if you are not there yet?
I hear ya man, he's been hot and cold lately.
Weird thing to me was he came out early, like first 8-9 possessions, and gets 3 assists. We rollin at the time.
End of the game? 3 assists.
THAT is not right. THAT is something I wish he would work on. Now granted he made some passes late that didn't get converted, but still, getting 3 in 6 minutes, and not getting any for the other 30, that isn't up to snuff.
But in all honesty, damn near everybody gets that "tired" look on defense, and then on offense they get the ball and get that magical 8th wind.It is what it is. 15 years, we all seen how it goes. I'm wonderin if maybe he ran outta gas there at the end, goes for 14 straight, still has 2 and a half minutes left in the game, doesn't take another shot. I wonder if he just wasn't all there at the end so he tried to get back into passin the ball mode. Artest took an awful lot of late shots there.
It's alright though, the Jazz borrowed heart from somebody like our new friend said. We been on NT damn near the same amount of time...you sound SIMPLE! You have nothing better to do than post n argue all day on NT so you are not new but I am because you sit online n post more?Cuz nobody ever plays the Lakers with heart, or whatever other crap he was talkin. I think he still mad about that Barkley-Kobe thread where he didn't look too good in it. NT is not my life or some popularity contetst like it is for you and the rest of the youngsters so I do not give a damn about how I looked...you are silly. But since Denzel took care of him, we won't need to go thru that anymore.Lots of teams have heart there guy, but not all of them can execute the way they should when the pressure gets to be too much. Then that's called lack of heart silly person and no they dont!We are talking about the NBA where most of these guys do not take it as serious as #8 and if you do not know this then that's ya problem. A few individual players have heart but not most teams. Lakers n Celts are about the only lonely two with lakers ahead of celts in that dept. Phil n #8 are the way they are not because they are immune to human nature as you call it but because they have the heart along with confidence and experience to do what it takes to win regardless of the outcome unlike other teams. Coaching, talent, plays etc etc only go so far until teams have to reach down inside collectively to beat teams like the lakers esp in a close game like say last finals gm 7 or win off of the other team's many mess ups. It doesn't mean they don't have heart, it means they are human and sometimes we can't overcome the pressures that build on us.I can tell you play/ed horeshoes while watching basketball...you are clueless! We are talking about pro NBA players not B's n C's n their first home game in high school bruh. Us winning lots of games doesn't mean everyone else lacks heart, because when we don't win, does that suddenly mean the other teams all of a sudden gained some heart? Yup, to execute down the stretch regardless of the pressure, fans, what #8 is or is not doing, injuries, what ifs, etc etcIt's flawed logic from jump. Hence, me shooting it down extremely quick. You came into a Laker season thread talkin ridiculous nonsense, expect it to get handled. You got yourself noticed, you made a name for yourself for a few pages, now go try the same antics in other team threads such as the Warriors or Knicks and see how long you last in there as well. I promise you, it will be the same. Well, ya know, if Denzel hadn't gotten you already.Like I said CP... how old are you? You sound extremely silly. I know you are feeling yourself quite heavy over there because you got your mod buddies n other cronies that make you feel comforted but I'm tellin you off top what it is. Your stupid GIFs and NT buddies chiming in hanging on from your words does not change anything. hell yall probably right next to each other sharing the laptop that you sit on all day tryna see who can rack up the most posts like fbook friendsthinkin that !+* makes you cool. Cuff boys
