2013 April NBA |OT| Pipe Dreams
- Thread starter reilo
- Start date
And keep in mind that there were only 40 seconds left and the Lakers were down. Those free throws ended up winning them the game.
If I was a Dubs fan I'd be pissed. Or a Jazz fan, too.
I hope Knicks-age handled this. I'd like the fun season to continue a little longer.

Hip hop threads in the OT are the same. I got myself banned in an OT Kanye thread
Haha. Come to think of it, I think Kanye mentions are the only time I see you start to get a little mad.
Lol, the guy made a thread about Kanye being a bad artist, and linked to a song called "Click". CLICK.
/donestanning
lol the second someone calls them out, "gosh, people can't take a joke!" "they take things too seriously!"
NHL-gaf should be ashamed of themselves
also, ninja dropping dat ether
You gonna be waiting 5-7 years because you guys are gonna rebuild after we are done with you in the playoffs.

Kobe plays 75 games a year on average for his career on like 35+MPG.
He can definitely be D-Wade levels of effectiveness if he can handle being second fiddle. Basically trade PPG for defense like Wade and play more off the ball. Something like 22 PPG, 3APG, 4 RPG, good efficiency and much more energy dedicated to locking down his man. Get more rest, play like 65 games a year.
But we'll see what happens. It's pretty much what He was supposed to do this year...

Sports and pretty much everything else.

I fear to go and read about Psy's new song in OT.
The thread will be so full of ignorance and hate.

I don't think 22 PPG with good efficiency and good defense has ever happened for 36 year old guards coming off Achilles injuries.

I honestly spent 20 seconds trying to figure out why I don't remember any Kanye song titled - "click." Wow.
lulz they kicked me out of the xbox 360 nhl gaf club because when lebron had cramps I made some comment in THIS thread that was like "those hockey players are bitches that tweeted about him, also that sport is irrelevant" even though I said I liked hockey
one of them was like "if you think it's so irrelevant WHY YU PLAYING"
a few got butthurt and wouldn't play with me again

Phil would of not of had Kobe playing 40+ minutes just to get swept by OKC or SA.
How many minutes did he play 2 years ago

Kobe has been capable of great D his whole career, it's a mental block, not physical.
I'm assuming he completely heals from this injury because--hey, it's Kobe with 2013 medical care.
lol no, he doeant have the energy to play defense and doesnt care to
Kobe plays defense when he wants to and has done that this season. Let's not take the "kobe lol no defense" thing over board here.

He doesn't have the energy because he saves it all for his offense. If he significantly cuts down his scoring/attacking then he'll have the energy he needs to play D.
Obviously this all depends on fucks being given.

looks like burke will officially declare tomorrow
Saddest thing I've read in days. My condolences.
playing defense in the final 3 minutes of the 4th quarter in 10 games this season being his defensive qualifications makes the lol no defense thing, legit.
That doesnt make someone a good defender. The whole point of team defense is excerting the energy for large periods of time

I'm doubtful of what level Kobe could play in 2014-2015 even without a serious injury. With a serious injury, at 36 years old? I think believing he'll be really ridiculous productive is a bit too far out there.
I'm sure its those 10 laker games you have watched this season.
People said that about him two years ago, he can easily turn himself into a fadeaway and pg type of player if his body forces him to.

An article about Kobe is linked on mlb.com. That's nice of them. Can't even get that other sports page to load.

Kobe's the man. Hopefully he comes back to win another championship before retirement
Well they're gonna damn make sure they got their money's worth with that gigantic TV contract. A sex tape with Konex is not out of the question.

If that was your sole criterion for watching games, then there is no way you would've watched a single Suns game over the past three seasons.

im positive kobe can fill a role on the Heat coming off the bench for Wade. I'm sure he can get 20+ points in garbage time.
Yes, criteria for non-fan teams and fan teams are exactly the same.
I'm not a laker fan, i couldn't care less about them, and now they're irrelevant there's not a whole lot of point in watching them play. Particularly with nash marginalised to spot up shooter.

Nope. Wade already fills the role of 20+ from garbage time.
he'll be a pretty good replacement for ray ray in 2015.
So funny coming from a phoenix fan. How does it feel knowing the greatest player that ever played for phoenix might retire a laker?

$104 million committed to Gay, Bargnani, Fields, and DeRozan after this year, holy shit.
How does it feel having a Celtic's jersey in the rafters?
Better than playing in a certain building with a retired bulls jersey.
I am no longer posting in this thread.
