Who the fuck is talking to you? Speak when spoken to little boy.

 

[Damn Right]

bynum is the truth

c'mon man. the lakers been my team since day ONE but bynum is tough as wet tissue paper right about now. dude ain't been right since he came back from that injury. he soft as fuk right about now. thrownin tantrums when he doesn't get the playing time he think he should get. makes dumb azzed fouls on the other end of the court when the refs miss one made against him during the previous play. just dumb sheit

sorry bynum, but like common said, ''i see tha beatch in you...."

what are u talking about all bynum needs to do on that team is play his role play D and score when he needs to ... he's doing that ... dude is 21 he's doing exactly what he needs and at his peak he will be good for 20 and 10 he's actually better than dwight , dwight is more explosive and farther along in his development but unlike dwight u can throw the ball into him and he can get you 2 points against top tier defense. he had post moves and he's mobile and athletic enough to be a problem in the future

naw man. bynum has NOT been playing defense in any series. that sheit was obvious. phil jackson even came out and said that's the reason why he benches him at times. bynum wants to be a scorer and he can't make that happen right now. he's getting those quick fouls because he's lazy and not trying to play defense really cause he wants to score. look at him earlier in the season. dude was not in foul trouble very often. he played more intense defense and was also able to score. but now? it's like he's trying to either do one or the other but not physically able to do both like he was before. and his azz does NOT want to be a workhorse and play defense.

how tha fuk can he be POINTBLANK at the dayum rim, duck down and let 2 defenders jump, then when they come down, he goes up for the shot and it barely touches the rim???? that sheit looked mad gay. a premiere center like kareem or shaq or hakeem woulda went up and dayum near tore the rim off. that half layup, half gay wave wasn't the business

 

[Tha_Technician323]

I want to see one of you muthafuckas come back from a injury like Bynum had and do better, you can tell dude aint 100 percent right before that injury happened he was starting to beast on the inside.....His knee still hurting so it limits his mobility and what he can do at least he out there giving it a go....Trust me if Bynum didn't come back all them teams would have been punking gasol on the inside.....

 

[Damn Right]

His knee still hurting so it limits his mobility and what he can do at least he out there giving it a go....Trust me if Bynum didn't come back all them teams would have been punking gasol on the inside.....

c'mon man. u know that's bullsheit. you can like dude as a laker but be real about how he's been playing since he came back. and u say his knees hurt? they weren't hurting when he was at those dayum parties, carrying hoez on his back and sheit. and his azz being on the court or off wouldn't change how the opposition treats pau cause bynum is playin like he scared. dudes just movin bynum's azz out the way like 'EX-CUUUUSE ME'.

he's not limited by playing defense ONLY which is what the coach and team wants. but he can't do it at both ends like before cause now he's not physically able to.....so he chooses to go the way of offense and ends up getting benched when he takes dumb azzed fouls

I like that Kobe finally started posting more and taking it to the rack. It's alright to shoot jumpers, but his eight assists came from breaking down the defense.

I wish they game wasn't so lop-sided, though. I know the Magic aren't this bad. They'll probably come out beasting next game, because of this blow-out.

you cant be serious homie, he only had about a week to get ready for the playoffs after coming back from his injury, and you know the playoffs are a whole different beast, chill the fuck out....as far as him carrying hoez on his shoulders...what would you do if you were a 21 year old millionare in the playboy mansion...fuck outta here...

 

[TimRock]

wow, over 30 shots and they win by 25. almost 3x as many shots as gasol took, and they win by 25. takes 9 shots in the 1st qt, down 2 to end the qt. sits on the bench, orlando goes up by 5. comes back in, and the lead expands. wow. i thought things like this didnt happen.

 

[beg4mercy]

Fact of the matter is, D Howard was not the Shaq that everybody thought he was. Period. It's Lakers on mine Crip!!!!!

 

[Costanza]

damn niggaz is quick>beat me too it>>

how is that possible?? he has played against the pacers a bunch of times plus the greatest 50 of all time. they were both on the list and the all-star and never met??

Kobe wasn't on that list, he was too young to merit it at the time.

But Bird was the coach of the Pacers from 97-2000, it's hard for me to believe he and Kobe never met. Maybe he meant significant meeting and isn't counting a small hello or whatever but they have to have met.

 

[Costanza]

DAMN!! Kobe bringin it tonight

if he keeps shooting like this

I promise you an orlando victory

Still no Cranrab?

 

[Kobe Bryant]

I wonder if Kobe made that face when he dicked down that white girl lol

you know I did.

We have go to keep the intesnsity up next game. They are going to be out for blood. But I know Stan Van Dummy, he will double me, and that's when my boys are going to do damage.

Watch my triple double next game.

bump cause this aint on the first page ... if the lakers lost last night this and 1 million other threads trashing kobe would be on the first page haters sooo silent now ...

fortunately, i am able to attend the home games when i choose to fight LA traffic. i sat and watched the game with 2 NBA champion centers, 1 of which is in the HOF.

it's good to take a break from the amusing pretend "basketball fans" of BGOL and discuss ACTUAL basketball with people who understand the game.

not surprisingly, their opinions of who was the ACTUAL game-changing fakers player differs largely from what the stans wrote in this thread.

request for damn right. brother, could you explain what "percentages and probability" mean to some of the "dudes" here on BGOL? it's pretty clear MANY of them don't understand the concept(s) at work. i could explain it to them, but they'd claim i was just being a hater.

you could use the graphic aid of the little percentages that appear on televised poker tournaments next to player hands. thanks in advance.

Magic Thread

I would be more concerned with my best player only taking 6 or 8 shots in 48 minutes. Dwight Howard has to play like the elite player he wants to be seen as. He should be making Bynum,Gasol, and Odom sit down with foul trouble.

the people i watched the game with also commented on this.

they specifically saw your first observation as a direct consequence of the way dwight howard was being played straight up by a particular individual defender.

but shooting the ball is WAY more important than any other factor in basketball, right?

Re: Magic Thread

Cranrab u gonna throw a Lakers Championship party?

 

[Chitownheadbusa]

the playoffs have had at least one good series every round. but for some reason i think its about to get realllll boring. Kinda like a Spurs vs whoever series. Wish Lebron would have made it...or maybe the Bulls. The bulls and the Celtics have been the most exciting teams in the enitre playoffs.

the only excitment that most wil be able to get from this series is if Kobe finally wins a ring without Shaq. Not a lakers win..but a Kobe win....sad

Magic Thread

The difference is that in this game, Kobe was facing single coverage. They only doubled him late when he went into the paint.

the significant difference in the game was not the type of coverage, but WHO was the cover.

for some inexplicable reason, tobe is inclined to engage euro defenders in shooting matches. this is especially true when tobe is defended by mikael pietrus. last night, tobe's streaky shooting came alive in Q2 and Q3, and he came out on the plus side overall.

courtney lee will never get a fair shake as a rookie defender, so coach van gundy will simply have to earn his paycheck sunday by developing a different type of help.

as far as him carrying hoez on his shoulders...what would you do if you were a 21 year old millionare in the playboy mansion...fuck outta here...

okay. now think SLOWLY. read what u just typed. how in the FUK does that make any sense to say, 'oh he's hurt. give him time'. then turn around and try to explain away him having hoes on his shoulder under a suposedly hurt leg.....better yet, just stfu cause u won't get it

is it frustrating being a fakers fan and knowing that you're outnumbered by "dudes" who are bigger fans of beisbol or futbol?

but back to the game. did anyone have any comments (positive or negative) about the orlando magic decision to split time at PG (almost equally) with jameer nelson and rafer alston?

oh, i forgot. they didn't shoot at least 20 times last night, so nobody watched them.

 

[ljinsane]

It's only game one!!! more games to go!!! and the Lake show has to go to orlando!!!

yeah yeah...not until AFTER game 2 remember that

 

[LegendOfLedo]

I thought nelson got off to a good fast start, but went stale. To be coming back so soon, I believe he played too many minutes. Alston really should be knocking down his wide open looks, but I dont think that will change the tide completely.

Whats your thoughts on Rashard Lewis during game one Rab?

 

[cranrab]

Magic Thread

Whats your thoughts on Rashard Lewis during game one Rab?

not a rashard lewis fan to begin with, but with regard to G1, he looked lost on the floor. out of position occasionally, expecting teammates to be in positions where they were not, maybe a little nerves, big stage, etc.

i don't expect a whole lot from rashard lewis, but i do expect more than what he brought last night.

jameer nelson was able to do some things, but it didn't take long to see that he was going to be 1 dimensional. you could see that he was carrying his arm in a virtual/mental sling and was reluctant to shoot.

coach van gundy has a dilemma. keep in rafer alston who will pressure the D by attacking the rim (with poor shot attempts), or bring in jameer nelson who can get his teammates involved but can't keep the D honest because he's not an individual threat?

edit: also had to add that orlando's passing out to the perimeter needs to be more precise. the set up passes need to go to the shooting hands. WTF were courtney lee and rafer alston doing putting up cross-body jump shots? poor mechanics.

 

[Better]

While it's better to be up 1-0, than down 0-1, I still don't like that victory last night.

To me, blow-outs forces team to play more efficiently, and with more intensity, and it's not always possible to match that intensity.

You beat them by 5, and they may not feel AS motivated to come out and redeem themselves, and the coaching staff doesn't lose nearly as much sleep trying to come up with adjustment's.

 

[LordSinister]

Last night Kobe shot too much. period. Now if he's on fire, and the team gets behind him like they did, fuckit I don't care. But normally this type of shit puts the ice on LO. To Lamars credit,he stayed aggressive the whole game.

I think overall, Drew played Howard pretty good. It's obvious he's favoring that leg, cause he doesn't have his usual lift, but he was pretty solid to me.

The guy who played the best was bitch ass Luke. he came in, ran the offense and took advantage of his size in the post. Luke has no athletic ability, or skill, but he understands the game.

Good for him.

The magic looked shitty. Skip to the Jew needs to never shoot again unless it's a layup.

Lewis is gay

Turkey Lube needs to get some heart too.

I normally don't like Kobe going 5-1, but some chump ass teams get demoralized when he goes full "Darth" Kobe on them. It's usually Dallas, but i guess you can ad the Tragic to this list as well.

 

[Chitownheadbusa]

Last night Kobe shot too much. period.

yep.....thats one of the big reason they won.
well that and some of the Magic players playing like shit.

the real question is has he lost confidence in his team because of what happened last year and what happened in the series before this one? Usually when he start to ball hogg that means he doesnt trust his teammates. The reason i know this is because he's did it during most of his career....mainly during his earlier years in the NBA when he was going through his "i wanna be like Mike" phase.

what happened? Did he see what happened to Lebron and just say fuck it?
Bottom line is if he continues to ball hogg, as much as i hate to type this, he will end up winning another ring. Orlando better make a game plan ASAP.

 

[Better]

I've read a few articles, and what I'm gathering is, Kobe wants this ring more than people realize.

He can say what he wants, but I think that dude would sell his soul to the Devil to prove he can win a ring without Shaq.
