Ramon's been here for like 5 games dude...We've lost 3 of those games. In one, Kobe took 15 shots and made half. In another he played horribly in the fourth and Bynum got ejected and against Utah...as you said...he took a lot of makeable shots...only 20 which is his career average...and just had A HORRIBLE GAME.


Kobe's having more horrible shooting games than before...so is everyone on this team except Bynum. That's not a coincidence. We're also scoring more than earlier in the year when Kobe was more efficient and defending less as a team.

I'm not justifying Kobe's misses. I'm pointing out EVERYONE ELSE'S misses, our horrible defense...and our increaesd point production compared to earlier in the year. You're focused on Kobe's individual stats with no actual attention to the team.


The team defense has gotten worse from earlier in the year
The team offense has gotten better from earlier in the year
Everyone's offense has struggled all year except Bynums compared to previous years


I don't see how "Kobe's shooting worse FG% and taking more shots" is deciding lots of games when the above 3 things are happening...just not consistent. It's ugly to watch...I agree...but again dude...MIKE BROWN OFFENSE

But everyone is shooting better now. Kobe is down to 40% for the month or so. Pau is shooting his best, Barnes his best, Ramon is shooting well.

Kobe is shooting a lot while others are shooting better. Kobe is the reason the offense hasn't completely exploded since Ramon came over.


edit: for the record, Langers > Phillipes. But I like both.

2-4 weeks. No Lin for possibly the next 2 games, time for SHUMPS DA GOD, NOVAKAINE, and JORTS to do work.

 

[DY_nasty]

Lets talk about confidence.

hmm

smh

 

[Syphon Filter]

Knicks time!

Look at all these Doyers rats jumping back on the ship after McCourt leaves. Some fanbase they have.

I thought they were all in prison.

Better to jump back than flop back.

lol

 

[Mxrz]

Grr. Always late for 7pm games. Magic better not disappoint. No Lin? Aww. Wanted to see if Jameer could go off on him.

JVG all night? Oh boy.

 

[The Frankman]

Surprised Knicks are playing small, Chandler is basically going to be 1-on-1 on Dwight.

LOL JRich.

Who else are they gonna plug in at the PF position? Fields is 6'8

 

[Truphenom]

Lol I love the many ways Fields has learned to turn the ball over.

 

[The Frankman]

Who else are they gonna plug in at the PF position? Fields is 6'8

a) Harrellson. When healthy he can hit the outside 3, is a good rebounder, and a solid defender.
b) Fields WISHES he was 6'8.

 

[weekend_warrior]

Mike Woodson's head is shiny!

 

[Mothman91]

Lol @ Wood.

 

[Mxrz]

I'm terrified of all these long passes the Magic are making.

 

[The Frankman]

So Carmelo is the only star on the Knicks lineup? Time for him to get star calls again!

Are you slow? WE DON'T HAVE THAT MUCH DEPTH!!!! Amare and Jeffries are both out.

 

[Mothman91]

Melo being aggressive. That's a good sign.

 

[DY_nasty]

I've never seen a player improve their footwork so much in one season.

Biyombo is not from this planet.

 

[victreeb3l]

who are the announcers tonight? i dont recognize the voices

fake edit: oops i was watching ESPN haha

 

[The Frankman]

Are you slow? WE DON'T HAVE THAT MUCH DEPTH!!!! Amare and Jeffries are both out.

The question was, who else can play PF. I answered it. That lineup is better and reduces pressure on Carmelo. Nuff said.

Also, it's not like after Dwight Orlando has so many bigs to pound the Knicks with. LOL BIB BABY.

 

[Mxrz]

Oh geez. Just knock Melo down on a couple of fouls. He'll revert soon enough.

 

[victreeb3l]

no lin tonight?

 

[Dominican Power]

It was a fucking rhetorical question.

 

[Mothman91]

Commentators...did they die??

 

[rage1973]

Biyombo is not from this planet.

Imagine the combination of Biyombo & unibrow on the defensive end.

 

[The Frankman]

It was a fucking rhetorical question.

Was your insult rhetorical too?

Time for a lethal injection of Novakaine.

 

[AlphaSnake]

Howard had the WORST ball carry I've ever seen. I can't believe no one called that.

 

[Mxrz]

I really like when other teams chuck 3s.

 

[victreeb3l]

NOVAAAKKKK

man even though nelson is 6ft, he looks tiny as fuck down there lol

 

[Sanjuro]

I'm positive this guy is going to have Dikembe aging genes in him.

 

[Syphon Filter]

Novakhiin

 

[Judderman]

Novahkiin!

 

[The Frankman]

Mike Bibby. East Coast Fisher. Owns ALL your clankage.


NOVAKAINE!

 

[hobz360]

NOVAK!!

 

[Mothman91]

Novakhiin.

Dat range.

 

[victreeb3l]

damn, left that dude wide open

he had like 5 seconds to wind up that triple ugh

 

[The Frankman]

damn, left that dude wide open

Bibby's fault for selling out on the steal, Shump had to guard Nelson, and no one could rotate to that side.

In other words, FUCK EAST COAST FISHER.

 

[AlphaSnake]

NOVAAAKKKK

man even though nelson is 6ft, he looks tiny as fuck down there lol

I bumped into him in downtown Orlando. He's not 6 feet. He was a little bit shorter than me, and I'm 6'0-6'1

Edit: WTF AT THIS WOODSON commercial!? Hahaha

 

[The Frankman]

Chris Duhon vs. Mike Bibby - Worst PGs ever on the court at the same time.

 

[Mxrz]

Every road game I enjoy listening to whatever announcers add their two cents to the whole Dwight trade thing. That shit never gets old. No.

Yeah, Jameer is small. Buff though.

 

[DY_nasty]

Imagine the combination of Biyombo & unibrow on the defensive end.

It would be cray

But its weird - After this tournament... I'd be okay with Sully if we don't land the #1 overall pick. Can't teach ass.

 

[AlphaSnake]

JR is naaaaaaaaaaaasssssty

 

[victreeb3l]

off topic, but yogurt and special k cereal make a great snack together :O

Bibby's fault for selling out on the steal, Shump had to guard Nelson, and no one could rotate to that side.

i hope woodsons faith in bibby has him play somewhat well. like awaken some kind of inner fire, considering hell be playing lots of minu--

OH SHIT nice feed to smith!

 

[Mxrz]

Oh god, this lineup again. Knicks by 50.

 

[hobz360]

JR's been making those tough shots recently!

 

[h3ro]

lol big baby

Oh no, we lit the cigar already :/

Woodson needs to stop playing Bibby. Like completely.

 

[h3ro]

NOVAKHIIIN

 

[victreeb3l]
