I swear to god these reactionary threads are terrible... I'll prove why too



So Kobe shot 3/10 and had 11 points (4/4 from the line) with 2 turnovers (played 20 minutes)

Melo shot 1/6 and had 5 points (2/2 from the line) with 2 turnovers (played 12 minutes)

both had 1 assist & 2 personal fouls

yet Kobe was "sabotaging" them? But people here talkin bout how Melo does everything so much better?



=Reactionary thread.

stats don't always tell the whole story. did you watch the game?

melo was working hard, posting up, trying to get high percentage shots. he also hustled, grabbing his own misses underneath the basket and made the extra pass to open teammates.

kobe was just trying to ISO all game waiving players off and failed badly. he had a very selfish, inefficient game

After every bad Kobe game this is expected. Then after a good one a thread is made to state otherwise.

Arguing over Team USA games though... sheesh. Not even medal games. I can't even waste my time defending him, I'll save that for the regular season.
