Still can't get over the ludicrous Kobe extension.

 

[Black Mamba]

Fucking hell, Sancha's team cannot get Embiid.

Lakers getting wiggins and Parker. Deal with it, bro.

Sucks not watching Kobe though.

@mchalmers15
It's not the size of the dog in the fight it's the size of the fight in the dog. Always remember that. Enjoy y'all Thursday

lol



shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit

 

[obijkenobi]

Who could have known that rushing back from a torn Achilles was a bad idea.

I worked out the day after a seizure. Kobe can duck it up after a torn Achilles

 

[MagicWithEarvin]

Kobe... noooooo

 

[slightconfuse]

Wow @ the Kobe news . He wast making Abigail difference on te team playing , should have rested more

Wonder if they reconsider trading gasol now

Lakers about to ge sorry for Jabari

 

[ItWasMeantToBe19]

Going by WS, Kobe is the worst starter in the NBA:

Anthony Bennett still has the crown for worst overall player though:

[friskykillface]

RIKobe

bummer to hear, maybe he came back too early



Mario Chalmers won't be invited to any future championship reunion parties lol

 

[DY_nasty]

Bennett is so trash lol

 

[KingGondo]

Almost $79 million over the next 3 years.

 

[ratcliffja]

per of 11.7, ortg of 85, his usual awful defense and he's turning it over on almost 30% of his posessions

sounds like the worst player in the league to me

Anthony Bennett and Austin Rivers are still in the league.

Edit: Beaten.

 

[LegendofJoe]

Bargnani.

lol

Next year man. Nikola Mirotic should be playing for the Bulls next season. Gonna be good(hopefully).

As much as Bulls fans talk about him he should be damn good, I hope he is.

 

[Matrix]

Konex... poor Konex.

 

[ph33nix]

Marc Stein ‏@ESPNSteinLine 18s
Spurs just announced Tim Duncan and Manu Ginobili are being rested tonight against Golden State ... with Tony Parker (shin) still out, too

yawn

 

[Branduil]

Any time you can extend a player for 48 million before he even plays a game after an Achilles tear you've gotta do it.

 

[Justagamer80]

Just heard about Kobe. He just needs to retire. I understand why the Lakers gave him the extension they did but ugh...

Any time you can extend a player for 48 million before he even plays a game after an Achilles tear you've gotta do it.

 

[Red Blaster]

Anthony Bennett and Austin Rivers are still in the league.

Edit: Beaten.

but those two barely play while kobe plays starters minutes and eats up a ton of possessions

 

[obijkenobi]

yawn

NBA setting themselves up for failure by thinking Pop is going to play the big 3 on the 4th road game in a row that happens to be on a b2b..

 

[Barack Lesnar]

My heart just fucking sank... that rush to your chest/upper torso area when you get scared. Thank god it's not season-ending.

Wiggins here we go!

#BasedMitch

lolololololol. wiggins here come for you bro!
kobe just gifted us the best gift of all. he truly is the GOAT of the lakers.

 

[Barack Lesnar]

Shut your dumb ass up

 

[Psychological Intellect]

Speaking of washed up players.....Manu might not be so washed up this year.

Not many (any?) better candidates for 6MOY at the quarter mark than ageless Manu.

I think the above pic is a bit incorrect, on 82games reggie jackson is +178 but Manu is +184 IIRC.

Manu is averaging 18-7-6 per 36 and has a 59%TS.

 

[Branduil]

Konex... poor Konex.

He posted this yesterday:

Looking at the West standings, Phoenix and maybe Denver are the only teams that might not make the playoffs. And even then Golden State and Minnesota are much better than the Lakers. I really don't see how LA makes the playoffs without roster improvemnt.

If Kobe gets this team in the WC playoffs coming off achilles surgery, he's the GOAT

 

[giri]

Marc Gasol

Marc, Dragic, Pekovic, Casspi, Deng, Rubio. Potentially Kanter.

There's quite a few really good international players.

 

[Justagamer80]

lolololololol. wiggins here come for you bro!
kobe just gifted us the best gift of all. he truly is the GOAT of the lakers.

Shut your dumb ass up

:O

Herpes, the Lakers aren't getting the top pick. I doubt they'll get a top 5 pick. Though we're screwed with an over the hill injury prone 35 year old whose going to hurt our payroll.

Pretty dumb comparison given the context.

 

[slightconfuse]

I forgot lakers sines Kobe to that ridiculous extension .

 

[Psychological Intellect]

Marc, Dragic, Pekovic, Casspi, Deng, Rubio. Potentially Kanter.

There's quite a few really good international players.

Valanciunas too if he gets consistent minutes and shots.

 

[Barack Lesnar]

:O

Herpes, the Lakers aren't getting the top pick. I doubt they'll get a top 5 pick.

That's what this clown doesn't understand, even though I've explained it several times.

But still turning over the ball a lot. He's healthy now, but who knows 5 months from now.

 

[Branduil]

Oh so now Mamba cares about putting stats in context.

 

[Black Mamba]

Oh so now Mamba cares about putting stats in context.

You still mad about the truth, eh?

 

[Cloudy]

Nooooooooooooiooooo

 

[ReturnOfTheRAT]

Shit, you hurt one side of your body and then the other side gets fucked up too. Just like Rose.

Edit:

Meeks can go back to playing like he isn't afraid now that Kobe's out.

 

[ratcliffja]

but those two barely play while kobe plays starters minutes and eats up a ton of possessions

Then he's the most detrimental player to his team, but that doesn't make him the worst player. If I joined the NBA and only ever played one minute, I'd still be the worst NBA player ever despite barely impacting the team.

 

[Branduil]

You still mad about the truth, eh?

No I'm just laughing at your intellectual dishonesty.

 

[Barack Lesnar]

Nash out 4 more weeks, so full strength by February. Kobe, Nash, Pau, finally on the court again. I still have faith in this team.

 

[Herpes Reasons]

That's what this clown doesn't understand, even though I've explained it several times.

you're calling me a clown?
the same dude that doesn't know how to open a car hood?
stern will gift us a top 5 pick, he owes us.
you just watch how crooked this league really is.

 

[thekad]

Kobe down? Looks like the tank is off. Too bad Blake got injured my fantasy team could use him.

Then he's the most detrimental player to his team, but that doesn't make him the worst player. If I joined the NBA and only ever played one minute, I'd still be the worst NBA player ever despite barely impacting the team.

Nah, limiting bad possessions is a talent. See: Tyson Chandler.

 

[Justagamer80]

Nash out 4 more weeks, so full strength by February. Kobe, Nash, Pau, finally on the court again. I still have faith in this team.

Now I'm even more depressed.

 

[Black Mamba]

No I'm just laughing at your intellectual dishonesty.

It's not. I put Ellis' stats into proper context after you tried to mislead and you didn't like it.

You're making bad excuses cuz you are in denial. I'll bring it back up at the end of the year.

 

[KingGondo]

I chuckled.

 

[Eleuin]

the Lakers are better without Kobe so how are they tanking

 

[LegendofJoe]

Marc, Dragic, Pekovic, Casspi, Deng, Rubio. Potentially Kanter.

There's quite a few really good international players.

Oh yeah there are a ton of really good international players in tbe league, none of them are clear up and coming perennial All-Stars though.

 

[Dominican Power]

Damn Kobe.

 

[ItWasMeantToBe19]

Monta's adjusted plus or minus is pretty good this year, but those optimization stats have always rated him higher than most stats (rating him as average most years).

 

[sf2fanatic]

Henry on contract year? He gonna get paid now for sure...

 

[Herpes Reasons]

Nash out 4 more weeks, so full strength by February. Kobe, Nash, Pau, finally on the court again. I still have faith in this team.

faith in what exactly?
a gained moral victory from an early playoff exit against one of the most deep draft in recent years?

ok bro, keep fucking that chicken.

 

[Emwitus]

Wtf

 

[LiveFromKyoto]

Kobe for Shumpert. Knicks Kobe was always going to happen, let's just get it out of the way now.
