JR isn't remotely close to Javale's stupidity. And if you Google Javale McGee animal dumb, you'll see it's been said tons of times.
or you can visit this thread.
Tyson does have a running hook, one back-to-the-basket move and a short jumper. He doesn't do any of them because to him it's not the highest percentage shot and he knows his game is dunking and defense (a.k.a Chandler Theory). Once in awhile if he has a massive mismatch he'll post up just to keep the opposing team from ignoring him.
I like how Dwight's mental approach to the game is a huge issue for you yet everybody on the Lakers except for Nash and a few scrubs has been all about bitching for playing time and where they fit in the offense
Dwight isn't guilt-free but the way you are scapegoating him is beautiful. let me put it this way. when the Heat got together it was a cultural thing and a thing from the stars, "Our offense will figure itself out, but our defense has to be at a championship level for us to win". same thing with Boston too when they got together
The moment Dwight got there, we had power trips within the organization and a bunch of players talking a ton about touches. It's been a giant ass dysfunction from day one. I guess we're going to forget that it took half a season for Kobe to realize "oh maybe I should pass more" (Which didn't last long) or "hmm maybe I shouldn't just let my guy blow by me and rely on who's behind me"
He rarely let Shaq cost us games though. You just can't give away games to avoid hurt feelings.

And that is D12's fault? PJ subbed Shaq in and out late in 4th quarters, SVG made it work as well. But Mike D can't and you say D12 is at fault? Ok...
Except that if you bench a guy just because you think he'll miss tons of FT, then in a crucial game if he happens to get fouled and has to hit one, I'm sure the thought of "hmm my coach benched me all year cause I can't hit these" is going to be really helpful
I said MDA is partly to blame but he's a new coach and Dwight is a FA, I can't blame him that much. Dwight has to make it easier on him especially when he is single-handedly losing us games at the end

Kobe wouldn't sit with his hand was about to fall off..
And it is 100% the coaches fault. If they were winning games no one on the team would really complain since they are losing everyone starts complaining
I don't care. Take the sure win and worry about the hypothetical future later. We are gonna miss the playoffs by less than 7 games and it's going to hurt lol
Ps: on my phone. Sorry for all the separate posts lol
Wow
You are just amazing
Are we just going to pretend that Kobe has kept quiet too? He doesn't need to bitch about PT or touches because he pretty much runs the team, so he bitches about everything else. And look what it's done for you guys. Yet it's everyone else's fault!
Being Ron Artest is a little different. He isn't the guy you brought over as your franchise guy, the future of the team, etc. He is on a mid level and he knows he is a role player
Nash doesn't complain because it's Kobe who always asks for the ball. And the point guard is just trying to make others happy.
Except that your pathetic ass superteam shouldn't ever have been in this position, and going to the playoffs means you get your shit pushed in by OKC or San Antonio in round 1 anyways

If you would've told me like 5 years ago that the Clippers would be a more ideal organization to play at than the Lakers I would've laughed at you until you killed yourself

LeBron's already better than Kobe has ever been
His multiple championships have sure proved that right, oh wait he just has one.
hey stop stalking and start following :/

LeBron wasted the first 8 years of his career playing with broken Big-Z, Wally Scissorbiak, and Mo Williams as his best teammates
Kobe played with a Top 5 center of all-time
Man, people have short memories
So? Kobe wasted fucking prime with kwame brown, luke walton, and smush parker. That is wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy worst than anything lebron had to deal with.

some tough times kobe went through while having the most dominant player of all time.

LeBron's posted a PER of 30 four times now and values things like defense and efficiency which is why he was able to bring trash to 66 wins
Kobe is a dumb chucker who's had the luckiest career in NBA history and is going to miss the playoffs with Dwight Howard, Steve Nash and Pau Gasol as his teammates

He had prime Shaq and prime Gasol. Lebron had prime Mo and prime Zydrunas. I think it evens itself out
Without Kobe Shaq won't even have the chance to fling his elbow against trash of the East in the finals.
This has gone over a million times, LBJ is more talented no doubt and Kobe will retired as 3rd best SG of all time.

lol comparing Dwight to Gordon. Even in down, injury riddled year Dwight is averaging 17/12 and playing nearly every night. Gordon's worn a suit more than an nba uniform the last few years. I'd have apprehensions about giving Dwight the max, but giving Gordon a max extension was just plain stupid.
so who cares that they have all been injured

ah bummer. the miami game should be fun to hear though.
magic says chris paul vs raymond felton is the most important match up to look forward to. if the last game is any indication, cp3 is going to have a field day with raymond struggling to even keep up with him. but i also dont know how healthy he is
cee lo green is really annoying to look at
