Don't worry, Kobe has only scored 22 points, so unless he scores 8 more points, the Lakers should win.

 

[Blackace]

Bad players can have good games.

Rivers is going be aiight

 

[Vahagn]

Rivers is going be aiight

Going to develop into a legitimate scoring punch off the bench in a few years. Not Terry or Manu level, but mid-tier Jamal Crawford time.


He may even become a starter somewhere since the list of good SG's has no depth in the NBA

 

[Psychological Intellect]

why do i want to see the lakers fail so bad?

 

[DY_nasty]

Rivers is going be aiight

Maybe in 3 years he'll be a role player

Maybe

 

[Cloudy]

lol Lakers-Age getting hype over Meeks' one good game of the month.

they gon learn

Actually he's been really good since Brown got fired and he got into the rotation

 

[Piecake]

Because they always get the best players and are always talked about on ESPN. Also, their fans are smelly

Jamal is a better shooter than Manu

But his game would be closest to JET of those 3

Meeks is garbage...

He will get hot occasionally and then have like 20 straight games of nothing.

Swell guy tho

 

[Emwitus]

Dammit Ebanks. Utter trash.

Warriors losing to a team that refuses to tank. DAT KARMA

 

[Cloudy]

If Wiz do hack a Dwight, they'll win this game

Yeah, his had multiple good games since mike left. Had a career high 3 points made this month too. But i get your point.

 

[Blackace]

Maybe

I don't know

I seem him catching stride later this year and improving from there

If Monty can make him give 3 fucks per game (FPG)

 

[exarkun]

Patrick Patterson is allowing the Celtics back into this game.

Smith off the bench as a center is doooope.

 

[Blackace]

lol

Manu is a better smarter player but Mal is great shooter

 

[Conflict NZ]

Kobe: 26 FGA
Dwight: 6 FGA

Seems right.

 

[reilo]

Manu is a better smarter player but Mal is great shooter

Manu's worst shooting year in the league is a good year for Crawful.

 

[pilonv1]

They lost to them last week too. Knew this was coming

 

[Psychological Intellect]

man the wiz suck, they should play the heat every night.

 

[Knux-Future]

I'm just sayin...don't believe in Meeks...

He will only let you down.

But at least yall aren't starting him and shit...

 

[Emwitus]

Thank you stern :'(

 

[Nelo Ice]

So not watching game but Lakers are barely up and Kobe to play another 40+ in a b2b? Sigh...

 

[Conflict NZ]

So has Dwight made a jumpshot in a Lakers uniform?

 

[Blackace]

Manu's worst shooting year in the league is a good year for Crawful.

Being smart and playing good basketball is what Manu does, but Mal has a better jumper

I'd argue that knowing when to take a shot is part of being a good jumpshooter, too. Just cause you can make a shot with a stupid degree of difficulty 15% of the time, doesn't mean you should settle for it. Jamal does that far too often.

 

[ViewtifulJC]

WELCOME BACK

LAKERS

 

[Conflict NZ]

WELCOME BACK

LAKERS

Pistons syndrome. Look ok against the worst team in the league in one game, back to harsh reality the next.

 

[Emwitus]

So has Dwight made a jumpshot in a Lakers uniform?

Against the knicks yes. And dwight has been passing out of the post alot tonight...it's not like he isn't getting touches. That's why it's wrong to just look at the stats and not watch the game.

I wouldn't disagree that Manu is a way better basketball player.. But Mal is a shooter plain and simple. In his prime he would drop double nickels and made Wade turn to steroids.. Drop get me wrong Manu is an awesome player.. But just as a shooter Mal has a better jumper that's all I was saying.

 

[Emwitus]

And kobe getting a warning for flopping after this game.

 

[SoulPlaya]

I understand your point, but he needs to take the lead, and just be aggressive.

 

[Emwitus]

LOL mamba. Spit in teh face.

 

[Shadow780]

Kobe beannnnnnnn.

 

[Vahagn]

Kobe: 26 FGA
Dwight: 6 FGA

Seems right.

They actually fed Dwight in the post all game. He keeps getting swarmed and passes it out. Dwight got lots of touches today

 

[Cloudy]

LMAO Kobe had no trust in Dwight's fts on that tip

 

[jobber]

G. Hill is 1 rebound away from a triple double


shoulda traded parker

 

[Psychological Intellect]

You'd never know lakers age was so big while watching the knicks game last night.

 

[Bam Bam Baklava]

Kobe with the Jordan-esque putback.

OMG WE GOT A WIN

fuck all you people. Morison where you at. We got a win against the wizards. Look how happy we are ;_;

 

[Mothman91]

man the wiz suck, they should play the heat every night.

And beat your ass every night?

 

[Conflict NZ]

Wiz really don't give a shit. Down by 6, 10 seconds to go, dwight has the ball, don't even bother fouling.

 

[Vahagn]

This Meeks Interview. Oh my goodness. I feel like the worst team in the conference.



"We desperately needed a win"

"Maybe this game turns the tide"

"It was ugly but we got the win"


Against the Wizards


Jesus.

If I was a GM and had the choice between picking Manu or Crawford based on jumpshooting ability alone, I pick Manu simply because I would value Manu's ability to take the smarter jumper that increases the likely hood of him making that shot over Crawford's "all about that life" jumpshot where he throws it up because he doesn't know any better.

In that regard, Manu's jumpshot is more valuable (because he's more likely to make the basket...) and he's a better jumpshooter overall.

But he was shooting poorly before, too.

 

[Emwitus]

He made free throws. Dude, did you even watch the game?

 

[pilonv1]

I know it's just amusing watching people jump off his bandwagon

I would take Manu over Mal anyday of the week to be on my team, but Mal has a better jumper. I can't explain it any better than that. Manu is a better player and does almost everything better than Mal but without a doubt Mal has a better jumper..
