Because that's the average wins of the west 8 seed from the last 4 years that's why I believe that.I'll go with trends instead of listening to a laker fan who don't even reside in the same country as the team he dikkrides
No wonder you stans are nitpicking this frivolous revelation from lebron and wade it deflects from that 'lwo' debacle.Even if the lakers do make the playoffs they'll lose in the 1st round just like the last time kobes overrated one dimensional ass led the league in scoring![]()
Wade and Bron want to be efficient from the field and nikkas are mad. Maybe Kobe can learn from these dudes. When you take bad shots, you hurt your team. Wanting to shoot 50% or higher should be the goal of every NBA player.
Didn't Thursday's game between LA and MIA show this?![]()
Forget Kobe.
Durant shoots 50% from the field and he doesn't stat pad like Bron and Wade. Durant takes good looks whether he's hot or not. He throws up shots at the end of halves. He doesn't play the game to protect his fg% the way Bron/Wade do.
Respond to that. The issue here isn't about taking high percentage shots. The issue is the fact that Bron/Wade would rather not take a half court heave at the end of quarters because they want to shoot 50%, rather than possibly making that low percentage shot and getting their team 3 more points in the game.
That is the POINT. Stop this straw man argument. I think Kobe plays the wrong way alot of time as well when he takes contested shots when his teammates are open and he's cold. But its also bad when you pass up good looks in the flow of the game because you think the likelihood is high you'll miss the shot and you don't want to hurt your fg% at the end of the game.
That sort of mindset is EMBARRASSING. Period. Players shouldn't play the game with the box score in mind. Players should play the game with winning in mind. If throwing up a half court heave at the end of quarters helps your team win the game then you should do it. Even if that means you sacrifice your own personal stats.
When Lebron is playin 2k13 and the game is almost over and he misses a shot that lowers his fg% below 50:
1. Pause button
2. Scroll down to quit and hits X button
3. "YES IM SURE!!!"

I still can't believe how many people don't know what it means to "pad stats"
fg% isn't a stat now?
Sheeit. Its the biggest thing Kobe haters love to throw out. So now that bronz and wade say they protect theirs, its not padding?
FOH
