Kobe does not do crap like that to draw fouls. Even when he does his pumpfakes, he is actually trying to score not jump into guys or swing through their arms. It's chickenshit basketball and any true fan should be able to see that even if you like Durant's game otherwise (which I do for the most part)

Do you not remember the days when Kobe was flailing elbows after shooting

Dirty ass refs wanted to call a block. OKC has really denied the driving lanes so far

 

[rando14]

FUCKING FINALLY conley

 

[numble]

Do you not remember the days when Kobe was flailing elbows after shooting

He wasn't flailing elbows, he was slapping people.

 

[zychi]

Is there a way to watch this game legally online? It boggles my mind that the OTA channels arent free online yet.

 

[ph33nix]

I'm pretty sure it was shooting and then swinging his elbows but you could be right

Yeah he does that when he gets hit and he also yells. But he does not constantly dive into guys, pumpfake and then jump into guys or swing his arm under guys to get fts.

Even when he does any of those things, he is clearly trying to score the ball not just get cheap fouls! Melo is another guy who doesn't traffic in bullshit fts for the most parts. They actually respect the game...

 

[Derwind]

WTF was that?

 

[Goreomedy]

Great D

 

[jjasper]

Austin Daye!

And Reggie Jackson score by driving.

grizz has trash anemic offense,how the hell did they beat the clips.

Dude Kobe used to do the swing through as well.

46 at the half on 44% isn't trash anemic, their smalls are just playing like shit

Our defense actually matches up well with them.

Hanchecking fixes this.

KD is just abusing the mediocre defense to his advantage.

Kobe is what I call a "dipper," take a shot, and dip his body into the defender, Melo, LBJ, Wade, KD sometimes, are all pros at it.

Bullshit. I've seen it happen when guys are playing him too tight from 3 but he is actually going up for the shot not the crap KD does...

 

[Black Mamba]

Memphis got a bit away from the defense I think would win the series. Focused too much on Durant and allowed the other guys to get comfortably and get good looks.


I think Memphis needs to make Durant go 1 on 5 instead like they sort of did in the 1st. Take out the role players.

I hope we never see Daye again in this series. The fact that we are only down one with him playing significant minutes is amazing.

 

[Psychological Intellect]

Bullshit. I've seen it happen when guys are playing him too tight from 3 but he is actually going up for the shot not the crap KD does...

lol

 

[fertygo]

KD used swingthrough when guys hipchecking him, they keep doing that to him and allowed to make thing fair, I don't mind him doing few cheap trick because that.

I'm not sure you can play Durant 1 on 1 this series. Memphis needs to play a zone cos they are allowing way too many drives

An easy way to see I'm correct is to youtube Kobe swing through and Durant swing through.

Any videos you find of Kobe will show him taking a credible shot in spite of the contact. He does not use it to draw cheap fts

 

[jjasper]

Second half need to adjust and have Allen on Martin and prince/Pondexter on KD and let them play man don't double. And dear lord no more Austin Daye and play Ed Davis some instead of only going to Arthur.

 

[mhi]

Where is this award announcement ?

I wanna know COY and EOY.

 

[rando14]

nice move from conley, hopefully he can heat up

Keep feeding Perk

The Black Mamba has spoken. Now STFU and watch the game.

What exactly is a credible shot?

They're all going for and 1s...

 

[Bubble Metropolis]

I love Marc Gasol.

 

[KingGondo]

Get Tayshaun off KD

And put who on him? Daye?

 

[Derwind]

Gasol giving Perks some pointers on how to shoot

 

[numble]

Maybe this Gasol guy should touch the ball more than once every 4 possessions.

 

[rando14]

these fucking refs are you serious

 

[jjasper]

Are you serious?

 

[Cloudy]

And put who on him? Daye?

Allen. Better footspeed

 

[numble]

Gasol the thug smacked someone with his jaw.

you have intent of going for the shot and intent of drawing the foul.
you have the two mixed up

Grizz starting much more aggressive at off&def.

Where's that GIF where Woodson yells at Novak? When he says "I'm so tried of you".

I like how 5 out of the 8 players in that big commercial are out already.
