I don't like how Prince and Allen had little playing time.

LA's pipe is a pringles can.
Unless you're Rubio in Minnesota and you get fouled by... oh.

Didn't you heard? You're getting Dwight next season.
Oh stop. Kobe got fouled on that Atlanta late game jumper where he twisted his ankle and the NBA admitted to it. I know you have "I hate LA" and "conspiracy theory" glasses on, but bad calls go both ways. You should work for fox news with that kind of fact collecting acumen.
Kobe in Atlanta. I can come up with a counter point to every LARefs point you make. Except that one Sacramento game way back when, that's pretty insane.

Few players whine to the refs like Kobe does all game

Lionel Hollins won't be giving pondexter 20 min in the playoffs, right? That seems dumb.
Earl Clark the X factor again. That block he made was so good. Too bad Meeks fucked up the momentum of it.

Keep moving goal posts. First it's "lol Kobe always gets that call" and then I show he doesn't "but he whines doe"

Autocorrect lol.
Pau looks better. Finally in some kind of basketball shape. Clips game is another huge one.
Allen isn't all that bad on offense. He usually abuses weaker teams in the paint regularly. Zbo actually shot 7 for 17. After the way the starters played the beginning of the 3rd quarter, seeing more of that group in the 4th would have been nice. I guess my biggest negative point about the Grizzlies offense tonight is Pondexter missing all those open shots.

Wade is worse.

The Laker teams of the last two years are actually the least foul prone teams post-merger.
Then again, that could be more about laziness and defensive scheme than preferential treatment.

Maybe you should drop that bass from your tone son because I never said he always gets the calls... but for a fade-away jump shooter his fts numbers are insane
Naw Wade throws tantrums but Kobe is always next to a ref when ball is dead

Again the players had low foul rates on other teams too.
Lakers have been a mostly low foul rate team in the past because they've forced lots of jumpers due to their bigs. This year it's not true but teams have scored easily in the paint on them which indicates less challenges.

Kobe just a fade away shooter? He's like 5th in the league in shots at the rim among wing players and around there in overall paint shots among wings. Come on blackace.
Dude gets to the rim or in the paint 10-15 times a game. Either passes it out, or shoots. And he gets fouled on most his fadeaway jumpers too.

I didn't say they were weak. I simply said whoever comes out this year will be the weakest out west since.
Stay salty though.

He takes 5 shots at the rim per game.. Ty Lawson takes 5.1 per game..
Really overall the Lakers are 15th in the League at shots at the rim..
This year he has been far more aggressive, for the last 2 years he shot about 3.5 times near the rim..
Haven't you heard? The Lakers are already in the playoffs. It's all fixed.

just found out that coach nick had a separate channel dedicated to(trolling) heat games lmao
Not true 50% of basketball enthusiasts west of the Mississippi are Laker fans. It's shameful.
both are really dumb statements.
Harden seems to have something on nba refs and laland is conspiracy land. We got all them calls.

Because Howard is hacked a ton so it doesn't count as a shot and Pau was hurt so much (hence lower at rim shots).
Comparing to Ty Lawson is bad. I said he's 5th among wings. The only SGs ahead of him are Harden and Wade. Harden is at 5.8, not much higher, and he has TWICE the FT to FGA rate. Durant is at 4.4 and also almost twice.
http://www.hoopdata.com/scoringstats.aspx?team=%&type=pg&posi=S&yr=2013&gp=0&mins=30
He also played a lot less minutes 2 years ago, though he's definitely been a bit more aggressive compared to last year because the team has sucked. At Sloan they showed data that superstar players attack more when the games are closer or losing (Lebron, Wade, Kobe, Durant, WB, Parker, etc) and shoot jumpers more when ahead comfortably. Makes sense Kobe has to attack more this year since the Lakers don't have a big differential.
Kobe's FTA/FGA rate has barely changed each of the last 3 years. .34, .35, and .37. It's nothing new. Calling Kobe just a fadeaway shooter is silly. He gets to the rim more than almost every other wing player in the NBA except for his superstar peers (Lebron, wade, Melo, harden).
edit: I guess he's 7th, they list Ellis and Evans as a PG and not a wings. There's only 3 PGs ahead of Kobe, too (YNB,Parker, Lawson). So Kobe is 10th among non-bigs.
