They were a 6th seed before he got hurt. They went 1-7 and fell to 10th when he was injured, then he came back and dragged them up to 8thIn regards to the can't make playoffs sentiment:
This is why I can't fukk with the play in shyt moving forward. I do think Steph was supposed to carry this team to a better record and I wasn't feeling the MVP for an 8th seed talk but under a non-gimmick circumstance this is a playoff team.
I had them 5th when the season started so that's about rightThey were a 6th seed before he got hurt. They went 1-7 and fell to 10th when he was injured, then he came back and dragged them up to 8th
Why oh why can't that wack clown be put on ignore?You've been waiting all week to post this

Also started that season injured with Plantar Fasciitis (one of the worst because it's not bad enough to really sideline you but your play still falters due to it) before succumbing to more injuries, in what was definitely a better West (and league) imoand kobe had the team in the playoffs until he got hurt and Rudy T resigned
I need to see the tape because I didn't watch the game but Steph can't allow traps to take him out of the game this easy.
He has to demand iso or clear outs and get his team buckets in crunch time end of discussion.
Mark Jackson used to let him iso much more but Kerr and Steph himself must not have enough confidence to run iso/clear outs in games like this. Kerr by now should have designed plays off a double that comes on a clear out by now.
Again I didn't watch the game in total. I need to see Memphis defensive strategy to see if Steph invited all these doubles with screens
Jordan missed when he was an old man playing for the Wizards. Kobe missed after an injured season during his prime, then later on after he tore his Achilles.Kobe, Jordan, Kareem didn’t make the playoffs every year of their career
Ridiculous post. He can score on all levels and has one of the best handles in the league.If it wasn’t for his shooting prowess; no one would respect his ISO game or handles. Players slightly hesitate when defending him because of his quick release and shooting ability. But when you look at his handles and ISO game individually in a vacuum; he’s actually below average in these metrics.
