    Yeah Korver was a non factor. As long as Wall is around he'll continue to get good looks.

    Great game so far in Chicago. Durant is looking unstoppable, D Rose has 23 with 3 min left to play.

    Big Mitch You never made me ran once

    Nov 5, 2015
    yeah i watched the game he played great down the stretch.

    still not ready to start calling him his vintage, MVP self tho. OKC's defense under Donovan has some major issues. all credit still to rose, but some of those attacks to the rim.... my f---ing grandma's nursing home could have played better defense lol.

    big win for da bulls tho. was a really fun game to watch.

    if you wanna talk VINTAGE. how bout my boy d-wade tonight!?!?!?! or this season?!?!?! haha jk, but his old man game is awesome. Kobe needs to take notes. Wade off to a great start and scoring over 20 a game, and doing it quietly each game too.

    Honestly I'm ok with that though. He's a different player now. When we get this type of production from him and Butler, it puts us in the championship conversation.

    He was great. That swipe and 60 ft shot was amazing. Be easy on the Mamba, he had a great old man game a few years ago. Hard to keep it up after 20 years in the league.

    still think you guys gotta put noah back in the starting lineup over mirotic. won't be able to outscore teams every night
    yeah ik it's hard for kobe to keep it up at age 110, but he's not full blown r-----ed/crazy lol. pass the d--- ball man. it's like he's out there 100% going for Kareem's record.

    on a side note about the lakeshow, i think scott is gone at the end of the season, possibly even before, and they bring in scott brooks.

    100% agree on Noah. Tbh Pau hasn't looked too great either. When Jo is in the game the energy is up and he never gets out worked on the glass. We'll see how it plays out over the next few weeks.

    It has to be tough for Kobe. To be the man for 15 years and all of the sudden your body can't do what your mind wants, gotta be a bitter pill to swallow. They do have a nice young team so hopefully he adjusts and goes out gracefully. Scott is one of the worst coaches in the league. It's been proven for like 800 games. I have no idea why coaches like that continue to get jobs.

    bill simmons wants noah to come to boston. said he wants em to give up tyler zeller and avery bradley for noah's expiring. if rose goes down, i think about pulling the trigger if i'm chicago.

    gotta be tough for scott to tell kobe to stop shooting so d--- much. i guess it's tough for anyone to tell him that, but scott played with him lol so it's gotta be quite awkward.

    Idk about that deal. I like Bradley but I'm not sure how he would fit. He's overqualified to come off the bench, and Jimmy is a bit undersized as a 3. That being said we need Noah come playoff time. He was hurt last year but when he's right he's huge for us.

    Scott's not saying anything to Kobe, Scott said 'Kobe's the last one I need to worry about' although that's far from the case tbh. But truth is Kobe played fine last game, still missed some shots he'd usually make but he played within the offense and didn't force things, that's what we need to see out of him right now.

    Also it sucks how Kobe's basically turned into an injury/old punch line nowadays, can't blame people for it but that's the way it is. Kobe in his 17th season was the best player ever in their 17th season, it's a shame what injuries did. Before the serious injuries started, he was still VERY close to his prime level of play for his career, people forget how amazing he still was at that point, he was putting up monster numbers right before he got hurt. He kept up his level of play and adjusted his game better than anyone else did to stay at an elite level and it's a d--- shame we'll never know just how that story would have finished had it not been for the injury that started his downfall.

    Nobody will ever have a 17th season like he did. I firmly believe the decision to get Dantoni instead of Phil was the begining of the end. Mike rode Kobe literally til the wheels came off, no way Phil lets him play almost 40 min a game like that.
