I said "i wanna post more but my job distracts me"....That means i wanna post more during the day lil man.

Its a good thing you're a deadbeat dad. The limited contact you have might with your kids might be their saving grace.

Popping? :mjlol: you have nothing going for you little man. Youre broke, angry, and stupid.

Y'all keep talking about HELP.

When the original quote was that Draymond could guard Kareem.
Because there will be situations where Kareem is on a spot on the floor which is in proximity to another defender to provide help - yet Draymond will still be the main one guarding him. Same applies to just about every other great scorer that's ever stepped on the court; typically the main defender receives help from his teammates. Like it was mentioned above, are you of the opinion that Rodman could guard Shaq, after all he received a ton of help when guarding him?
Also the warriors deadliest line up is when they go small with Draymobd at center.

Cap is KILLING that line up.
With Draymond frontin him/pushing him out of post position and the Warriors having a # of active bodies to force him into a tough shot or passing it back out, they'd make him work for his points. I don't think you realize how well Draymond uses wingspan to contest shots either at the rim or out on the perimeter against players who're longer than he is. And the Warriors would happily stay small if Kareem was on the floor, as it would mean they could trade 2s with 3s with the Lakers using Kareem as the main offensive option. I mean if you think he's going to kill that small ball lineup on offense, what about the other end? He ain't chasing around Draymond out on the perimeter and forcing him off the 3-pt line when Draymond drives it to the rim and hits an uncontested layup or passes it out for an open 3-pt shooter when help rotates over.

:heh: at your life goal being "I want to post more during the day" when you already average damn near 20 posts a day. This sad confession just brings me back to those other questions. When are you going to get a life outside the coli? A woman? A family? How long are you just going to be an Internet trolling Kobe Bryant cocksucker? You're not even going to have Kobe's nuts to latch on to after this year.

Hahahaha are nikkas really arguing that Draymond Green could guard Kareem?

REALLY???

:heh:
Why couldn't arguably the best post defender in the league today, guard Lew? Nobody's talking about shutting him down, just containing him, limiting him from going off and holding his own.

If i was you I wouldn't be on the coli at all. You should be focused on getting your money up so you can provide for your family. You got time to be on the internet arguing about d*ck sizes of your favorite players, but you dont have time for your kids. You left your kids for becky :scust:

Bruh Aldridge looked terrible against everyone just not the warriors in the beginning of the season.

As far Cap being contained against Bogut and D Green, how many points is contained? You think they can hold him to 20 a gm? 25 a gm?


Oh he'll still get his points especially if the Lakers are committed to force feeding him the ball. By saying that they can guard Cap it means they'll do all they and a great team defense can to stop him by trying to create turnovers, making simple entry passes as difficult as possible, trying to force the ball out of his hands by swarming and not ceeding post position. Doesn't mean they'll shut him down I mean he's one of the GOAT's for a reason, but that also doesn't mean it'll be easy for him. They would make him work and earn his baskets. Thats why my point about this discussion has never been just about them guarding Kareem. Its that they won't get dominated to some insane degree (people suggesting 40 & 50 ppg in the original thread) and can expose him on the other end of the floor too if going small. Like if the Warriors catching him in a P&R between Green/Curry is insanely advantageous for their offense.

Just some quick points. Kareem really didn't dribble to get into position because he could use the hook up to 18 ft out. He would often times catch the ball and go straight up with the hook. He could do the hook from either side of the court and would turn away from the double ala Hakeem and throw the hook.

Fronting him was also difficult because he was 7-2 and had long arms.

As far as what Rodman did to Shaq realize that bulls team carried 4 centers just to battle Shaq and Ewing. The bulls would normally throw 3 centers at Shaq and after they got I to foul trouble (or to close out the game) Rodman was moved to center.

Shaq still avg 27 a game against the bulls in that ECFs and that was ypung Shaq who didn't have the the go to fade away push shot or the up and under moves and who wasn't as big and strong as he was in LA (Shaq also wasn't the passer he would be in LA and Miami).

Maybe Kareem didn't need to always dribble to find post position but he did do so. Few examples where just about all his post up scores involve a dribble if not multiple




A big man of his caliber (meaning he'll be doubled constantly, unlike LMA last night who saw a lot of 1on1) that puts the ball on the floor like that against this Warriors defense is liable to get ripped or forced to swing the ball to the perimeter.


Fronting Kareem is just a means to make the entry pass much more difficult than it would be otherwise. It would definitely be hard to stop him from still getting the ball, but it also wouldn't always be successful as deflections can occur whether by Green or the player doing jumping jacks in front of the passer trying to prevent them from making the pass over the top. Just about doing whatever you can to make the Lakers objective on offense as hard as possible.

Rodman definitely can't contain or shutdown Shaq and that video implying such is wrong, just used it to show how team principles + a stout yet undersized post defender can defend against a dominant center. Shaq back then, while young, is as good as Kareem for much of his Laker years and certainly better towards the mid 80's LA runs where his production began to tail off.

And a lot of this also depends on what version of Kareem we're getting here. If its the showtime Lakers at the point of their greatest success ('87 w/ 65 wins, their best offensive season) which is what a lot of people in this thread http://www.thecoli.com/threads/magic-said-his-lakers-would-blow-out-the-current-warriors.400282/ were referencing, then he wasn't nearly the force that he was in the earlier LA years or with the Bucks.
