are the Lakers playing a joke on us?

Kobe will take around 18-19 shots a game this season. Don't see how that is chucking.

18 shots? Kobe?

18 shots? Kobe?

Yup. His efficiency should go up as well. Doesn't need to handle the same burden offensively that he did last year. Spending much more time off the ball as he doesn't need to take on both scoring and playmaking roles this season.

Hopefully his minutes are reduced from 38mpg which should lower his FGA as well.

I've been hearing this all preseason, but I have to see it to believe it. He is still the number 1 option on the team. Dwight has less offense moves than Bynum and Nash is not a scorer at this point in his career.

Dwight will get 20-22 a game if he plays 35+ minutes. I have almost no doubts.

Even if Kobe is the #1 option, he's not going to have to put up 23+ shots like he did last year IMO.

You could put Jesus at point guard, until Kobe realize that he doesn't NEED to take the off balance three pointer with two dudes in his face for the win and can instead find someone else for the shot, he's gonna keep doing this.

the fukk are you talking about? if anything he's a lil overzealous with the passing and the shyt got Nash's ankle rolled on.

Dwight very well could if him and Nash mesh well. Nash is the GOAT at passing. Pick-N-Roll could be deadly.

We're talking about the guy that said he would be shooting 40 times a game if he had Chris Paul as a teammate.
