The Official 2013-14 Around The NBA Thread......

There's the kobe chuck we're use to.

 

*Waits for the Kobe game winner that was supposed to happen tonight*

 

LA's bench is so much better than their starting unit.

Their bench scored 71.

Starters scored 23.

They're like the anti-Blazers.

 

Bryant: 2/9 FG, 8 rebounds, 8 turnovers.

They say: "Something to build on"

Fuckin' A.

 

It's only a matter of time before Mr. Mamba puts up 55/20/20 on 90% shooting.

 

That'll be his end-of-season totals, except for the shooting %. Move the decimal over two places.

 

We should just trade our bench for theirs. Then they can have wiggins! Lol

 

I love these guys on NBA TV talking about Faker fans believing Kobe would be super human when he came back. They've been force feeding the return of Kobe for months, and even canceled the Pacer Blazer game to show Kobe's 81 point game from 2006. Now they are making excuses for Kobe and blaming Faker fans that they have been shoveling this Kobe shit down everyone’s throats. Priceless.

 

I like Nick Young. Not sure about Xavier Henry, but Meeks is solid. I probably would swap benches

 

It would be a no brainer. I would just trade Meeks and young for Mo, Wright and Leonard.

 

I thought this would happen with the Lakers. They were playing well because they had decent chemistry.
Their starters are unathletic. Their best scorers are bench players in Henry, Young and Meeks. What happens when Nash and Farmar come back.....D'Antoni has his work cut out for him trying to mesh this all together. But they do have offensive fire power. But horrible D.

 

Young is kind of a chucker, but dude is extremely difficult to guard. They have too many wings.

Would you do a trade for Blake/Young?

 

I don't think they'd give up Meeks, but I'm wondering if they would do Blake/Young. I think Blakey would be a nice backup point guard. I've always thought he'd be a nice backup. He can shoot, he can pass, he plays hard.

 

I'd take Young, for sure.

 

They have too many wings with Meeks, Young, and Henry. There's no way they can find enough minutes to make them all happy.

 

Seems like they run lineups with four of them on the court at once like the Nellie Warriors of a few years ago. It actually works.

 

Did the Lakers bring Kobe back to tank? They were winning half their games without him. Now after they lose a few games he'll start shooting 25 shots, kill their ball movement, and get them back in the race for Wiggins.

 

You guys haven't even mentioned their wing Wesley Johnson.

Kings continue to make poor decisions
