Playmaking is definitely his weakness but that can be covered up by just pairing him with a playmaking point guard. Kobe’s decision making wasn’t always the best either but agree with the rest of the post

Kobe’s decision making could be questionable but he was still a MUCH better playmaker than Kawhi. Kobe was capable of running and stabilizing the offense or getting players easy looks.

Kobe’s passing ability and vision were great, he just tended to bet on himself more than his teammates.

Kawhi, KD, and Giannis. :unimpressed:

You might put Bron over these players (I don’t put him over KD when healthy) but he’s definitely not head and shoulders better than them

Bron is noticeably better than Giannis to me. He’s on entirely different planet than all three of them as a playmaker and overall basketball IQ.

Healthy Durant is the only one I say is on the same tier as Bron in terms of overall impact due to being straight unguardable but I need to see more of his playmaking ability without the space of the Warriors.

He’s always seemed to struggle in the playoffs as a primary playmaker and would prone to goofy decisions. I think the Warriors using him as a bailout option and focus 99% on scoring was perfect for him because guys like Curry and Draymond handled running the offense and let Durant just focus on buckets.

Kobe and Bron separate themselves from Kawhi with their playmaking, passing, and decision making. Honestly, Kawhi ain’t even on Durant’s level as a playmaker.
there's some comparing apples to oranges here on multiple levels :francis:

Inaccurate. As much a I hate PG, he was a way better ISO player than Allen. Prime Ray Allen was weak defensively and could never be the 2nd best player on a championship team. Doubt they would make it past Denver with him instead.


So that Bucks team that made the ECF was he or Glenn Robinson their best player :jbhmm:

And while Ray Allen was never a pitbull of a defender he was never seen as a weak one, I highly doubt he was even a net negative

I read that comment and had the same gut reaction like "fukk is this nikka talmbout:dwillhuh:
"

Prime PG in terms of tools and skillset is THEE ideal prototypical wing, you couldn't create somebody with that type of handle, shooting, defense, and athleticism in a laboratory :wow:


I really thought he was gonna take that next step and be a top 5 player :mjcry:
PG clearly is not the same finisher he was after the injury and he really has no inbetween game

Not gon post stats or nuffin but for sure they back me on that, you def shoulda quoted me if u think otherwise doe

they werent losing games because of doc
they were up double digits in da last three games

its not doc's fault kawhi scored 2 points da entire second half of a game 7
easy cop out
He coached like shyt in games 5 & 6. He kept rollin' with Trez on Jokic all series long. Lou and Reggie Jackson on Murray. JaMychal Green was ballin' but Doc had him as well as Zu glued to the bench and played his guy Trez. Didn't give Pat Patterson nor Noah a look. No adjustments whatsoever. Yeah game 7 was a nightmare but games 5 & 6 was where the series was lost. This is his 2nd time blowing a 3-1 lead as coach of the team. Too much favoritism, nepotism, and playing "his guys" all the time. True PG needs to stfu and just play ball but please please don't excuse Doc in all this.


-on another topic.. Low key don't be surprise to see PG run point. I've been hearing that suggestion float around a lot lately

All the smoke needs stop inviting nikkas who gon embarrass em self

He didn’t shyt the bed in game 7 off catch and shoot treys solely, he tried creating for himself and he isn’t a great finisher and has no midrange game. Once his Trey wasn’t falling it was lights out.

he should take responsibility and just come back stronger all this rappin wack
Since when is this true?
