what the fuck pao

lame ass flop

 

[Net_Wrecker]

exactly. luke walton doesn't have a jumper. its more like a hopscotch turnover.

:lol :lol

 

[KidA Seven]

God damn... Kobe used to have to play with Puke, Kwame, and Smush as starters. Oh yeah, and Brian Cook as the 6th man.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

Thank god the SUns have gone a little cold.

 

[Cloudy]

the offense fell apart when Kobe sat. They were feeding off his energy big time.

Phil loves to cool Kobe down

ps: Start Blake already!

 

[Omiee]

MAAMBA BACK IN T HE GAME.

 

[dream]

Why are Nash and Hill not in?

 

[Black Mamba]

Shannon out, Lakers score 5 in a row. coincidence!?!?!?

 

[LiveFromKyoto]

Suns have gone cold, might have used up all that mojo.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

Phil loves to cool Kobe down

ps: Start Blake already!

Because he hit a clutch 3? Yeah because Fisher can't do that. Blake let Brooks destroy him on offense he's not a better option.

 

[SamuraiX-]

Why are Nash and Hill not in?

Because Alvin gave way too much credit to the current lineup.

They lost their hot streak like 4 minutes ago.

 

[Black Mamba]

Phoenix plays again tomorrow, too. I'm sure that played into Nash staying on the bench.

 

[Cloudy]

Because he hit a clutch 3? Yeah because Fisher can't do that. Blake let Brooks destroy him on offense he's not a better option.

Blake can penetrate and he's a play-maker. Offense would flow better and we'd actually have a fastbreak game if he was playing with the starters

i think they lost their hot streak 4 years ago.

 

[Omiee]

freaking love kobe

 

[dream]

Well at least Vince is in!

FFS Steve, stop passing, your teammates are useless.

 

[Grimm Fandango]

Welp Phoenix looks done in.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

Blake can penetrate and he's a play-maker. Offense would flow better and we'd actually have a fastbreak game if he was playing with the starters

He didn't do any of that this game. If anything he looked lost on offense and didn't penetrate for shit.

 

[Omiee]

phoenix cant close this out, come on we should be able to close this out

 

[Black Mamba]

Blake can penetrate and he's a play-maker. Offense would flow better and we'd actually have a fastbreak game if he was playing with the starters

Yeah, but how much worse would the bench be with Fisher on that unit with Shannon?

I think Fish should start, but his minutes should be cut down and Blake should get more 1st unit run.

lolkobe. nice pass.

Someone teach Pau what a pick n roll is.

 

[TheGreatMightyPoo]

Kobe just passed gas.

Artest couldn't smell it.

 

[KidA Seven]

Blake > Fisher


Except in the playoffs.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

I think Kobe was trying to peg Ron in the head with that pass.

 

[Cloudy]

He didn't do any of that this game. If anything he looked lost on offense and didn't penetrate for shit.

He didn't get to play with Kobe too much. Freaking Smush looked good with Kobe and Steve is a legitimate NBA player. It's pretty clear to see that Blake is a better player and Phil is making a mistake under-utilizing him. Hopefully it doesn't cost us in the playoffs

 

[Omiee]

that commercial is so stupid right now when at&t owns tmobile

 

[LiveFromKyoto]

Kobe just passed gas.

Artest couldn't smell it.

This means something, but I'm not sure what.

 

[Darkman M]

Lamar is so worth the 10 mill per he's getting.

 

[Cloudy]

Yeah, but how much worse would the bench be with Fisher on that unit with Shannon?

I feel Fish would be better on the bench playing against weaker players

 

[Ninja Scooter]

He didn't get to play with Kobe too much. Freaking Smush looked good with Kobe and Steve is a legitimate NBA player

Meh. Show me something if you want to start. You can't just assume he'll play better. As it stands, he has his role, he's taken more minutes from Fish, got some late 4th quarter burn, but I don't see him as that much of an upgrade to shake up the starting lineup (and make the bench even worse by having Fish play with Shannon and Luke). He's not some stud young PG, he is what he is, a career back up.

 

[ReturnOfTheRAT]

Just go away Phoenix.

 

[Omiee]

i have a bad feeling about this

mamba closing that shit down, how many points he have on the quarter

 

[ReturnOfTheRAT]

Kobe won't be denied tonight.

Paul Gasol? It's 2011, jeez.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

Kobe's got this. He's on point like a mofo tonight.

 

[SamuraiX-]

I feel so sorry for Nash having to deal night after night with these incompetent teammates.

 

[brianjones]

ps: Start Blake already!

+1

 

[Black Mamba]

Holy fuck, Pau. Why won't you hedge hard on the Pick n Roll? Lamar just showed you want to do the next trip, so now you do that.

Pau either hedges too soft or sticks to Gortat like glue.

 

[FantasticMrFoxdie]

 

[dream]

It's his fault. Nothing good happens from passing to Channing Frye.

edit: fuck you, Frye.

 

[Omiee]

I feel so sorry for Nash having to deal night after night with these incompetent teammates.

believe me if i was that guy, i would take 1 dollar and just go play with any other team.

 

[K.Jack]

McHale is kicking it. I love this dude.

 

[Herpes Reasons]

believe me if i was that guy, i would take 1 dollar and just go play with any other team.

but would you take a pay cut to play with bosh?

 

[Cloudy]

He's not some stud young PG, he is what he is, a career back up.

Blake is the kind of guy who needs big minutes to show his stuff. 20 minutes a night (mostly with total scrubs) is just not enough as a pass-first PG IMO

 

[Omiee]

fish you fucking idiot, go fuck yourself

 

[brianjones]

oh come on

airballl???? fuck sakes wheres the closing fish of last game

 

[Omiee]

but would you take a pay cut to play with bosh?

i would pay miami to NOT play with that guy, but yeah like i said bad feeling about this.
close this shit out

 

[Herpes Reasons]

konex just precame with that fisher airball

 

[ReturnOfTheRAT]

McHale is kicking it. I love this dude.

Paul Gasol

 

[Black Mamba]

is there any doubt Phoenix will get a wide open 3. Only hope is that it's Vince who shoots it.

 

[Cloudy]

Unreal. Why is Fish in this game? Certainly not for defense! To take horrific one-handers in crunchtime?

 

[LiveFromKyoto]

Channing Frye is too hard for Fisher.
