The "DeMarcus Cousins liked" is the exclamation point on this

My man Boogie really does see Sacramento like a second home, still well connected.

@AvadaKadaBreh sorry for your loss. Im a year late tho

What do you mean?

damn so another year where Udoka, Stackhouse, Messina, don't land a job...making me concerned that maybe they aren't interviewing well because all these retreads like CLIFFORD get a job...Well I guess Pierce and Borrego are new blood.

and Kokoskov in Phoenix

4 retreads have taken jobs (Fizdale, Clifford, Casey presumably, and Bickerstaff) with one spot left so fairly even.

next year maybe 6 jobs open (the whole Northwest division and maybe Cleveland)

Since Kobe stans bushed the thread I made, the question was: "Is LeBron James a better shooter than Kobe?".

Seeing what LeBron is doing in these playoffs (and throughout the course of this season) is pretty eye-opening. He has actually improved as a jump shooter, which is hard to imagine. He can hit a mid-range fadeaway, pull up from three, catch and shoot, hit a soft floater and shoot off the dribble. He also does it at a high efficiency from close range. Kobe was known as a shooter, but I think it's more apt to call him a volume scorer. LeBron is actually putting up historical numbers.

In his 15th season, Kobe was shooting 32% from three and below 50% from two. LeBron is shooting 37% from three (on more attempts) and 60% from two. Even for his career average, LeBron is shooting at 34% from three to Kobe's 33%. LeBron actually shot above 40% from three for one season, whereas Kobe has never shot above 37% since his rookie season.

In the playoffs it gets worse, where Kobe is averaging below a 45 FG% compared to LeBron at around 50%. Kobe has averaged above 50% from 2 only one season in his career. LeBron's career average from two is at 53%.

Not trying to antagonize Kobe fans, but is it a reasonable argument to suggest that he is a better shooter than LeBron? Let me get a head of some of you and say that "he made tougher shots" is not a reasonable argument. Sure he made some very tough shots, but he didn't make them with a high degree of efficiency. LeBron is shooting at a good percentage while still getting his teammates involved as well. He's putting up 40 point games a la Jordan.

• Peculiar reversal call on charging foul by Durant to blocking foul on Lebron that led to Durant getting two free throws (Never seen that before )
  
• George Hill shorting the second free throw that would've put the Cavs ahead
• JR Smith fukkery ()

Fate clearly didn't want the Cavs to win Game 1
