Time for KoMe to put on his big girl pants.

 

[Dominican Power]

I'm pretty sure consensus this year is "why didn't I draft Side Show Bob". I had him last year too

I could of drafted his ass too. Good lord.

 

[Psychological Intellect]

The Grizzlies are a scary team.

 

[Puddles]

Everyone who has ever taken any part in hacking, whether as a player, as part of a coaching staff, or a league official who let it happen, is an absolute disgrace to humanity and should be shipped off to a warzone somewhere. Siberian fucking labor camps out of Dostoevsky would be too good for those fucks. I don't think I have ever read a story of human suffering that would be as much as these guys deserve for their actions.

It's on Stern, IMO.

He's had years to change the rules to prevent hacking, and he's been content with the status quo.

lol

 

[giri]

Lakers to face fine after failing at basketball. For making everyone watch Dwight shoot FT's.

.

 

[linsivvi]

This shit is too good, I want HackaDwight every night.

Actually this will force him to take his free throw shooting seriously so I'm all for this.

 

[Emwitus]

Worthy on point about kobe. Seriously. Someone's gotta reel him in. And as he get's older it's getting all the more frustrating.

 

[Matrix]

D'Antoni is a damn fool. What good was Dwight doing in the game down the stretch? Man, we keep giving away games...

He blocked a shot out of bounce! it's the little things.

 

[Doomsayer]

Meh, was a good game until the hacking started.

Legit win Houston, congrats.

 

[Cipherr]

My directv went out in the rain, what happened to the Lakers/Rockets game?

The Rockets literally surfed Hack-a-Dwight to victory.

 

[sf2fanatic]

Worthy on point about kobe. Seriously. Someone's gotta reign him in!

two best players tonight for the lakers were in the studio. I thought Jamison played well and Hill got screwed by the refs

 

[Cloudy]

...

Seriously? Lakers fans had to have been prepared for this fact when they were stroking it to the Dwight trade, right? You had to know he can't shoot FTs for shit, right? The rules aren't going to change to help the Lakers out. Dwight needs to stop dickriding Shaq and learn how to shoot FTs already. PEACE.

I don't blame Dwight. He is what he is. Last 2 losses are on the coach. You have to take the guy out WTF

 

[Puddles]

Legit? This was the equivalent of someone winning a Halo tournament by fucking with the router.

Legit involves playing actual basketball.

Rockets should be ashamed for using the rules of the game to win.

 

[Hi i'm Caleb]

Are you sure? He's only had 9 years...

Is there a rule against subbing?

 

[Emwitus]

Mike D saying we're a team when asked about kobe too. Call the guy out! Dang it.

Dwight.. could, you know, hit his free throws? Or not be in the game?

 

[Nori Chan]

Time for you to woman up and put that pony on son

 

[Branduil]

Who the heck is Greg Smith and how did he destroy the Fakers?

 

[Ninja Scooter]

You can't change the rules to prevent hacking. There is nothing you can do. Dwight needs to hit his damn free throws. They are called FREE throws for a reason.

 

[Colonel Nasty]

He shouldn't have to make his FREE throws the league rules should be changed instead. LOLZ

 

[jobber]

The Grizzlies are a scary team.

if you don't play defense

 

[Puddles]

Rockets should be ashamed for using the rules of the game to win.

Sometimes rules reward uncompetitive tactics and should be changed.

You know that no professional sport still exists with its original rulebook, right?

 

[pilonv1]

Lakers have given up 40 and 34 in their last two 4th quarters.

woah dantoni really does look like the pringles guy.

it's uncanny, woah.

 

[Trey]

I'm not in here much, but is this dude serious?

 

[linsivvi]

Are you sure? He's only had 9 years...

Eh yes? He used to shoot close to or above 60% until the last season. He gets back to even 55% and the opposing teams can't play the numbers game any more.

It's just simple math.

First 7 seasons: 67%, 60%, 59%, 59%, 59%, 59%, 60%

 

[Pkaz01]

I blame this loss on Gasol!! we need to trade him already he is so soft he can't even play.. it wouldn't matter if dwight made his free throws if gasol was actually playing. Fuck is mitch waiting for?

 

[Jeff-DSA]

Flopping is far worse than hacking. Hacking is cheesy but legit, flopping is cheating.

Yeah, Philly fans.

Totally

if you don't play defense

 

[Emwitus]

And that's why we need gasol again. We got killed on the offensive glass today.

Legit? This was the equivalent of someone winning a Halo tournament by fucking with the router.

It's taking advantage of one of the Laker's weaknesses. How is that not legit? If they didn't want Hack-a-Dwight, they could have benched him for the last minutes of the game.

 

[Fox318]

Flopping is far worse than hacking. Hacking is cheesy but legit, flopping is cheating.

Just make your shots.

 

[MidnightCowboy]

This Puddles meltdown is hilarious. He has to be the only human alive not blaming Dwight.

 

[GaimeGuy]

Lakers are the #12 seed

 

[Branduil]

We threw away 2 games because our coach refuses to bench a guy who can't make fts for a few minutes

He benches Dwight and then Dwight leaves next year.

 

[Jake Tower]

Sometimes rules reward uncompetitive tactics and should be changed.

You know that no professional sport still exists with its original rulebook, right?

So you admit your Halo analogy is fucking absurd?

Dude, put your big boy pants on. Star big men should either be able to shoot free throws or expect to be subbed out in these situations.

Ever hear of hack Hakeem? No? There's a reason for that.

Ever hear of hack Yao? No? There's a reason for that.

Shit. Ever hear of hack Kareem? You know the answer.

Fouling a poor free throw shooter is a legit strategy and should not be changed via fiat.

Lol! What? Thats like saying "Hey don't play defense on our SG because he's not a great shooter. Okay?"

You serious man? Are you one of those people that get mad when shooters use the backboard too? That is some kinda crazy talk right there Puddles.

 

[Red Blaster]

Considering Dwight doesn't seem interested in playing good defense anymore there's really no reason for him to be on the floor in the closing minutes
