Could someone play defense on beasely

why would anyone need to?

 

[Khalifa Jayy]

Kobe is so methodical and surgical right now. I fell in love all over again. Where was this years ago though? Better late than never I guess!

Jamison!

 

[Emwitus]

why would anyone need to?

His the only guy on the suns scoring?

 

[Vic]

Kobe not looking to shoot as his first option changed the whole dynamic of the team. To think he could have always played like that...

 

[Black Mamba]

Lakers 8/15 fts. Dwight has only shot 2. Wtf. This should be 13 at least.

 

[linsivvi]

Kobe stole Nash's assist ability and Pau stole Dwight's FT ability.

 

[Nori Chan]

Kobe stole Nash's assist ability and Pau stole Dwight's FT ability.

worth it

 

[Emwitus]

Wow this commercial is now eerily relevant LOL

Look man, the man won 5 chips doing what he does, obviously with this current team he needs to adjust and has done so.

 

[Emwitus]

Such shitty defense.

 

[thekad]

Outrebounding the Suns by 10. 51% shooting to the Suns 41% shooting. Suns only 2 made threes.

If the Lakers lose, I can only assume the basketball gods just hate them.

 

[Jack Remington]

I honestly am impressed that Kobe is still embracing the point guard. I did not think he would be able to keep himself from attempting to go off.
Ah shite I jinxed that ish

Kobe is probably going to finish with 10+ assists for the fourth straight game. Has he ever done that before?

 

[Emwitus]

Gaddang antwan!

 

[Vahagn]

Do you know what a probability is?

Sure.

But, you're using it as an excuse. Oh the prediction I made was wrong? Don't blame it on methodology, but on probability.


I'm not saying Hollinger is crazy for calling the Lakers champions in 2008 (which he did before the finals) because they made the finals. That's a close mistake.


When you claim the Jazz are contenders in a season that they get swept in the first round...you were way off. When you make mistake after mistake after mistake on it, then your methodology is off.


Remember, before last season, 90% of NBA people without any methodology picked Heat/Thunder finals. In the NBA you don't need methodology to pick likely champions most of the time. Best of 7 format almost guarantees that the best team wins.


But Hollinger makes crazy predictions, backs it up with his methodology, and then wants his claims forgiven.

Remember "Nuggets will have the second seed in the West" prediction at the beginning of last season? They finished 7th. That's not probability, that's being stupid. And his reason for that idea was "they had one of the best point differentials after the Melo trade last year"

 

[Black Mamba]

Jamison hitting these threes makes mda's decision to go with Nash and Blake to end the 2nd quarter all the dumber.

 

[ryutaro's mama]

Kobe stole Nash's assist ability and Pau stole Dwight's FT ability.

It's like that gift exchange you play at Christmas time when people steal your gift and shit.

Mamba, you change your mind and start believing the hype?

I'm still riding with the "we ain't making the playoffs" train.

 

[GremlinFool]

Sure.

They finished sixth, Broseph.

No.

Nope as far as contender goes. They may make the playoffs. Their schedule is easy now so if it happens it happens the next 28 games.

I'll remain skeptical because of who's coaching the team.

 

[ItWasMeantToBe19]

...Hollinger also predicted the Heat beating the Thunder in the Finals before the season, Vag. I'm not sure what you're even arguing.

And the other two points you argued included teams that were destroyed by injuries.

 

[Jack Remington]

Jamison is looking great tonight.

 

[thekad]

"Sure, I know what probability is, but look at these two times one guy got a prediction wrong."

smh

 

[Black Mamba]

So many missed open looks.

 

[Dominican Power]

MWP shoots too much.

 

[Emwitus]

WTF!

Shannon brown grinning in the background........

Season over.

 

[Dominican Power]

SEASON OVER!!!

 

[Shadow780]

OH FUCK FUCK FUCK

 

[Black Mamba]

Of course...

And fucking pau passes to Ron when he himself has an open look and lane.

 

[Herpes Reasons]

dwight down.

season over.

trade pau.

 

[WonkyPanda]

oh no....

 

[dafinezt]

Is Howard made of glass?

 

[Nori Chan]

I have never seen somebody as stupid as MWP on offense lately.

 

[linsivvi]

I blame Shannon Brown.

 

[shwimpy]

Is Howard made of glass?

He's playing with a torn labrum dummy.

 

[ryutaro's mama]

SEASON OVER!!!

Because it's hilarious to make fun of players getting hurt.

:|

 

[Emwitus]

I have never seen somebody as stupid as MWP on offense lately.

.

Now i know why phil would publicly scold him for his shots.

 

[AcridMeat]

Is Howard made of glass?

It really doesn't make sense to me why that would hurt his shoulder. His wrist is the thing that snapped back, taking the force of that.

Oh a torn Labrum. I see.

 

[Flash]

MWP with 16 FGAs


.......

 

[WonkyPanda]

He's playing with a torn labrum dummy.

It was never officially torn. However, looks like we might be in that territory again.

 

[Darkman M]

I have never seen somebody as stupid as MWP on offense lately.

Mettas shitty shot, Dwight's injury just now is all on Pau.

 

[Jack Remington]

This shoulder seems like it's going to be a serious issue going forward.

 

[Dominican Power]

Because it's hilarious to make fun of players getting hurt.

:|

Who's making fun of players getting hurt?

 

[ratcliffja]

Poor Howard is taking a beating this year.

 

[EvilMario]

So, is Kobe a top 5 point guard now?

 

[Net_Wrecker]

This shoulder seems like it's going to be a serious issue going forward.

I think that was more his wrist. Maybe? No?

EDIT: Nope, shoulder. Huh.

 

[Black Mamba]

Take Ron out

 

[MorisUkunRasik]

Because it's hilarious to make fun of players getting hurt.

:|

Yea, I was gonna say something cause that comment reads as joyous...but I'll give him the benefit of the doubt til he clarifies.

 

[Nori Chan]

I have never seen somebody as stupid as MWP on offense lately.

yup

 

[brianjones]

fucking make a shot metta wtf
