Los Angeles Clippers vs Kobe, game thread [ESPN]

[Bilz]

you're joking right?

 

[andre patton]

Lakers always get up for us no matter the roster.. plus we have no SF(literally) and no bench outside of Hawes and Crawford

CDR is straight ass cheeks. our bench is considerably worse. tribe called bench days are definitely over.

Kobe for MVP

but Kobe is washed up they said. no one recovers from torn achilles and performs well. they said.

THIS GAME LIT AF


LIN GOING OFF

KOBE GOING OFF

BG GETTING BUCKETS



THE YELLOW AND BLACK MAMBA REALLY OUT HERE

they called me stupid. But I believed.

I been tryna tell nikkas the Lakers ain't nearly as bad as the whole world is so desperate to convince everyone of, they actually decent but these clowns like Barkley's hatin ass and the arrogant condescendin fags on ESPN are gettin all giddy goin out of their way to overhype the Lakers problems as if they the worst team in history claimin they'd get blown out by college teams and all that nonsense.

lin going to the right is a top 10 player

Lin soaking up b-ball IQ from Kobe like a sponge

This game needs to stay in Lin's mind

If he can do this against the best PG in the league there's no reason he can't every night

I knew Lin was the perfect guy to complement Kobe's game right now by goin Linsanity aggressively attackin the basket gettin lay-ups, penetratin and kickin it out to a teammate like Kobe in position to knock down a spot up shot, bein the primary ballhandler runnin the point and settin guys up, basically everythin Kobe used to do on a night to night basis but can't do for 82 games anymore without bein burnt out come playoff time and possibly gettin too spent doin it even for a week straight or in back to back games. Lin's young energetic and has the athletic ability necessary to play like Kobe used to play every game and now he's got Kobe the master himself to show him how to play like that consistently in a controlled way without makin turnovers, coachin him up on bein more efficient when he does it, and teachin him how to pick and choose the right moments to go from a traditional Rondo type PG to an attack mode Rose type PG. At this point Kobe's game is more postin up, spot up jumpers, shootin off the dribble, catch and shoot, one on one on the perimeter doin footwork beatin his man off the dribble to get free, and occasionally drivin to the basket, wit Lin attackin the rim he gon draw attention away from Kobe who can get open looks on his spot up jumpers and catch and shoot plays allowin Kobe to score easier so he doesn't have to exert so much energy.

Our offense is being made harder than it needs to be.
They have Chris Paul guarding Kobe Bryant.
Post him up. They're doubling.
When the double comes, move the rock to the open man.
shyt is elementary but we're out here running the clock down and taking 30 foot bail out 3's.

we can build on this right?

If they continue to play like this, they'll get some wins.

The Lakers actually have a bunch of good solid players on their team from role players wit a good handle on the basic fundamentals like Henry, dudes that can come off the bench and provide a spark on offense like Price scorin points by attackin the basket and Davis playin strong defense reboundin makin hustle plays and gettin cleanup points in the paint, cats like Ellington and Wesley Johnson wit great ball movement who showed tonight they capable of runnin the floor spreadin it around and knockin down open shots, Boozer playin more like his Utah days reboundin defendin/blockin shots runnin the break passin to the open man knockin down jumpers and postin up like a real Power Forward, on top of that we got Swaggy P comin back soon whose another offensive weapon that can attack the basket and shoot long range shots, and most importantly we got a young athletic top 5 talent in what was one of the deepest drafts in history to be under Kobe's wing and learn from him as well as legendary Laker big men like Kareem gettin experts from both sides of his Point Forward style of play or hopefully pointers from the OG himself Magic and by all accounts he has star written all over him once he matures and gets used to playin in this league.

Add in Kobe and Lin who form our big 3 wit Boozer and we got a great foundation that when runnin on all cylinders can rival the core players from alot of these other teams, ironically this team wit this roster and those 3 guys in particular would be perfect to run the Triangle wit especially now that Lin is point instead of Nash who's a more traditional PG his style is best when the ball is in his hands at all times so his game would get slowed down by the triangle (real talk his old ass was slowin the entire team down which is why him bein out for the season is addition by subtraction). There's obviously gonna be some growin pains for these guys to get used to playin together and its gonna take some time before they start to gel, and even tho it might take even longer before our homegrown next Laker great gets healthy and becomes a potential superstar they still low key have everythin a team needs to be a problem in the playoffs make some noise and possibly win a championship.

Refs won this one for the Clippers.

Fixed just like the first game of the season where the bytchass refs was makin bullshyt calls all game it was the most one sided officiatin I ever seen in my life b, Lakers couldn't get in any rhythm cause everytime down the floor there'd be some trumped up ticky tack foul. And the rare times the Lakers began to string some points together the whistles would start goin ham, but errbody ignored it cause they were runnin wit the theme of the Lakers bein trash so they ain't give a fukk that nikkas was gettin robbed out there since it didn't fit they narrative.
