Why did LWO beg for an elite PG and then beg for Kobe to run the offense?

[Tony D'Amato]

Its funny how they sill bring up Stern and the CP3 trade. CP3 don't wanna be a 2 guard while Bean play out his Magic Johnson fantasies

 

[gho3st]

we are a better team when Kobe dominates the ball. He just has to be willing to make the pass more often than not. When he doesnt, shyt like last night will happen

 

[Street Knowledge]

not good considering he averaged 11 last year on a way below average suns team....6 is

He doesn't have the ball in his hands as much plus the Suns had no one the last few years. My point is its impossible for a "spot up shooter" to average 7 APG.

The Lakers have an elite offense this year(6th in PPG/8th in Ortg) and is actually much better this season compared to last. The offense is fine, they're below average defense is the problem

That's not even what annoys me about Kobe. He is just so bad defensively. He never ever guards his man. All this nikka does on D is chase the ball. Always gambling and coming up empty 99% of the time. The sad thing is Nash gives a lot more effort on D than Kobe does. He just sucks at it. He is too small, non-athletic and too slow to guard anyone effectively, but at least the effort is there. Kobe gives ZERO EFFORT to guard his man. Its the most frustrating part of his game now.

Reporting for redundancy. Thread was made a few days ago

dwight averaging 16 this year...did you all forgot how he averaged 23 TWO years ago, he's another bum

again bruh, the problem is not kobe dominating the ball. THe problem is kobe dominating the ball and not passing.

Thats been the problem for years

again...whose fault is that?

what i said and what you said are essentially the same....Nash doesn't have the ball in his hands enough to be a true PG, because Kobe doesn't want anyone to have the ball except for him

 

[AVXL]

Lakers fans will never acknowledge that the snitch is the biggest reason they're an 8 seed and will NEVER win another title with him on the Lakers

Pringles & never had a chance with The Black Psychopath on the squad

 

[Street Knowledge]

whose fault is that?

You expected him to have the ball in hands playing with Kobe as much as he did playing with bumbs in Pheonix?

But that's beside the point. The Lakers offense is elite and much better then it was last season,Nash helped in that regard.

They're not losing because of Nash and Kobe not coexisting on offense.

 

[Lefty Gunz]

i've never seen a fanbase go so far out of their way to downplay and minimize HOF players in order to big up an aging washed up chucker...what the fukk do yall even have Steve Nash for at this point?

Disgusting isn't it, Kobe stans shyt on and downplay everybody just so they can big up Kobe. From Lebron, Dwade, Mike, KD, Pau Gasol and Shaq (of all people)

 

[gho3st]

again...whose fault is that?

what i said and what you said are essentially the same....Nash doesn't have the ball in his hands enough to be a true PG, because Kobe doesn't want anyone to have the ball except for him

no what you said and what i said are two different things


your point is for kobe to give up ball handling duties altogether and play off ball. My point is to let kobe dominate the ball(to control the tempo) and be a more willing passer to the open(or cutting) man.
