Y'all just need a big so AD moves back to PF and a guard who can shoot and defend. Everything else is there pretty much. Could Rui play the 2 possibly in a lineup with AR/Bron/AD, if that works, y'all are just a Center and some bench scoring away from making another run.

Kobe would force it sometimes yes but sometimes it yielded fantastic results. Kobe was as much of a bball sevant as Bron but their styles are very different and Kobe was not giving teammates infinite chances if they came out looking like some scrub from the Y.

LeBron's biggest issues is always trying to play the game the right way when his team is playing like ass. It makes him look good and them look awful. Especially when they are standing around waiting to be carried by him and he tosses them the rock to their own surprise. That would be like if Goku put the fate of planet Earth in Krillin's hands while he's in Super Saiyan or some shyt.

Bruh if I'm the one scoring all the points and these fools moving around like we're still in shoot around, I'm playing the game MY WAY, the right way is only giving me bricks. And I will totally be fair and admit Kobe did not actually win again until he learned to be a better team player and not shoot his team into a hole, he had a lot to learn after Shaq left. The front office also did their job and got him the right talent.

Curry went for 50 against SAC when everything was on the line. This was a night when he was hot. Yet, Lebron will make scoring is 2nd or 3rd option even when he knows no one is stopping him.

Bron has 29 forty-point playoffs games. Kobe has just 13.

Bron has 8 forty-point Finals games. Kobe has 1.


Claiming that Bron doesn't know how to focus on scoring when necessary is just completely at odds with reality.





By the time he started attacking late it was too late and he got sealed of by Murray on that last possession because they all know he's the only one getting easy buckets. We lost by 2. I get he's old, tired, playing on two blown out ankles, and a bum foot. But watching the game again, my guy definitely had a 50 piece in him. I think he just expected to much from guys that just didn't have it that night.

Breh, he was 4-12 in the second half for a reason. NO ONE plays 48 minutes nowadays. Having a 38 year old do it on a bum foot while carrying the team on both ends is insane.

Once he put up that 31-spot in the first half, Ham needed to rest his ass for half the third quarter. fukk if they lost the lead, couldn't have been worse than it was. At least you lose the lead and then have a fresh Bron to carry you in the 4th, instead of having a wiped Bron limp along unable to elevate on anything.

Bottom Line is the Lakers just lost to the better team

Joker and Murray are gonna kill everyone

As much as it pissed me off to watch them get swept, Denver shot the shyt out the ball and Joker is the best player in the world

That’s where I’m at after a few days of decompressing

Only bron Stan’s would say pau>>wade :dead:. It’s like they don’t realize Kobe elevated teammates while bron hinders stars
Pau in 09 and 10 was definitely better than Wade in 2013. You must have forgot how washed he was that year. 2012 Wade might be Pau's equal. Wade fell off a cliff after 2011. He wasn't the same player after his knee injury.

This ain't on some LeBron vs Kobe shyt, I'm a fan of both, and this isn't even me asking him to force bad shots because Lakers fans got mad at him when he tried that shyt too. But he was cooking that night, yet, there are possessions where he didn't even touch the rock to keep the defense honest. Sure, I can blame this on DLo being dog water but when your team cannot sink wide open shots it's time to be Superman and carry these bum ass Injustice League nikkas.

I understand that ain't his game but it's frustrating especially when you've seen him do the shyt before. And I think it's why people get mad at LeBron because sometimes it really is as simple as showing the team y'all aren't going home tonight. With that said, this squad was ass that night overall and if LeBron can live with the result then so be it.
Even he pulled out a sword on vegeta ready to kill him.:yeshrug:

Out of everyone who is considered a top 10 player... Who has the lowest FG %?

Mike, Bron, Bird, Magic are all guard/wing players and have VASTLY higher %'s than him from the field
That’s not how efficiency is judged anymore. That’s basic like it’s still 2000. I don’t have a problem with you but you’re tryna get run out the thread now.

How do you judge Kobe's efficiency then? He is widely known as a guy who takes and makes difficult shots.... while also missing a ton of shots. That's the reality. How do we know this?

He has the most misses in NBA history by a relatively large margin still
