you're a hater and know nothing. they didnt front that much. OKC did a damn good of clogging the paint becuz Mike Brown had Pau playing at the top of the key or in the corner near the 3 point line.

i cant count how many times Pau would get the ball near the damn perimeter taking those 20 ft jumpers and shyt.

:laugh:

Where did I say that they fronted a lot? Seriously where is that in my post? I just re-read it and I dont' even see the word "front" in it. WTF is going on on here with nikkas seeing shyt in my posts that isn't there?

There is a lot of blame to go around. The Lakers did not do a very good job exploiting their advantage. It's like a team with two good backs and an old great qb and no recievers dropping back to pass 45 times a game. They didn't play to their strength and no amount of rings on Kobe's fingers can make that sensible.

:childplease:

you responded to someone talking about fronting the post player. i said you were wrong and you're a hater. Thunders did a damn good job of clogging the paint becuz of where Pau was playing. Ibaka was playing so far off of Pau.

That's what happens to talented big men. Why do you think OKC payed so much attention to him? Because they knew that interior scoring would hurt them the most. He's the first guy to get doubled? More of an effort should have been made to get the ball inside to both Bynum and Gasol. There is really no way around that.

My nikka, COME OFF YOUR AGENDA! Either you didn't watch the series or you weren't paying attention. Whenever Sessions tried to enter the ball, his man would sag into the post and basically sit in Drew's lap and dare him to shoot the jumper. Sessions couldn't hit a jumper, that's why Bynum couldn't get consistent touches. This didn't have nothing to do with Kobe!

And Gasol was playing at the high post most of the time or shooting 3's, so what the fukk are you talking about there?

I hate when ya'll rewrite history to suit your purposes. The fact of the matter is, Bean played the hardest out of anybody on that team. In game 5 he LITERALLY kept them in the game up until he had to sit to start the 4th. That's when Bynum and Pau were out there and shyt got outta hand REAL FAST!

:huh: I'm confused. Why didn't you respond to the person who said the shyt then? :what: How you gonna respond to a person who responded to something like they said the shyt themselves?

I didn't say it was all Kobe's fault. I clearly said there was plenty of blame to go around, coaches included obviously. That doesn't change the fact that Kobe shooting 26 times per game and only hitting 40% isn't winning basketball.

Where did I rewrite history? All I said was that the Lakers advantage was inside and they should have done more to try to exploit that. Pau playing the high post and Kobe gunning and Bynum being mercurial doesn't really help that cause. I acknowledged Kobe's part because that was the basis of the thread but I never said it was all on him. There is no denying that Kobe shooting that much and that inefficiently isn't the way to go if you are trying to win.

my respect for Pau and Bynum was thrown in the bushes when them nikkas was on the bench laughing and shyt when we was getting smacked up in Game 6 against the Nuggets. so save that "Kobe is the problem" shyt for the birds. nikka out there about to shyt on his self and still playing his heart out.

This should be the first and last time that clown rudolphs name graces this forum.

Hes a clown who i dont know how hes in the basketball media world. He says the dumbest shyt.

To all my real mutherf*ckaz, let 'em know, this be the realest sh*t I ever quote :pacspit: at the red-nosed reindeer writer. We finna have a repeat of Kobe passing it and not doing anything to show y'all how garbage these players are again. You got big men shooting 25% and this dumbazz writer is saying to pass it more :snoop:

I kind of wish, if no moves are made, Kobe comes out and shoots between 10-15 times every single game so that when it's revealed that Pau isn't capable of carrying an offense, and Bynum is showing up to games deciding he doesn't want to play hard because he forgot to take his medication and Brown yelled at him, these fakkits will find something else to complain about.

They'll call him :flabbynsick: and say he "quit on the team" when he only shoots 10 shots tryin to let his big men shine.

People just gotta realize that there is no happy medium when it comes to reporters talking about Kobe. And he'll always be to blame no matter what goes on if the Lakers fail to win the whole thing. That's why I don't even care to acknowledge comments like dude made.

Anyone who watches Laker games consistently and not just the ones on ABC/ESPN/TNT can see that Pau isn't able to carry an offense day-to-day, and Andrew is too immature to be inspired to do it.

You can tell Kobe is the type of player where he feels if he has to hand the reigns to you then you arent the player that can carry the team. If Bynum or Gasol were ready to lead that team to a championship they would have asserted themselves and shown Kobe that its their time. Kobe isnt gonna defer to anyone who isnt as dedicated to winning as him.
