Did you read the point I was responding to? He was talking about the time zone. I said time zone has nothing to do with it. And then you said you "realize time zone has little to do with getting little national attention." I'm confused what you're trying to say. You started off disputing my post, but ended reaffirming it?
Geezus!!! It was ME who said the time zone argument was invalid. It was named as a reason in the linked article and I said I didn't understand that argument since the Lakers are in the same time zone. Then I was asked if I kidding which makes no sense. What I said was RIGHT and mook backed me up. It's a stupid argument.
You were like, "Doesn't it seem weird?" and we were all like, "No shit, sherlock!" and now you're like, "But I totally knew it the whole time!" and now I'm like, "Then why didn't you say so the first time instead of acting ironic because sometimes you really do say stupid shit without irony and it's tough figuring out irony from truthful insanity with you!"
I didn't say "doesn't it seem weird?" I was expressing my frustration with people who use that excuse.
And the question remains "why do they say that?" I remember them saying it was a travesty that Portland and Seattle got the top two picks in 2007. Everyone said no one would be able to watch the games. No one would've said that if the Lakers for the Clippers got those. It makes no sense.
All of those players in that grouping are fantastic, generational talents. There's just one way to really separate them. The ring is the thing.
Not only does he have 14 assists now, but he's also only taken 10 shots in the game, and the Lakers are about to close out a blowout win over a team with a much better record.
16 years or so in.... Not sure Kobe's gonna figure that lesson out. You can't teach THAT old dog new tricks. At least the non-stripper/hooker kind.
Was saying it without saying it... figured the "analysts" will be breaking down this game all weekend ad nauseam from that perspective. I don't think it's that simple though.
The last 17 years, the Lakers have always played well when Kobe shares the ball. When he goes for 30+ every night, they've been no better than average, sometimes God awful. He shares the ball tonight and it's their best win of the season.
