Dude is playing out of his mind right now averaging 26.5, 8 and 5 and Pacers are 10-2 over the last 12 only losing to Chicago and Cleveland by an average of two points.

They have been really *bleep* good and what's more a lot of people thought they wouldn't make the playoffs or barely make it, they had 38 wins without him last year and somehow people forgot how good he was pre injury. Like he didn't take Lebron in his prime to 7 games

He's playing great, shooting the hell out of the ball

The Eastern Conference has actually been slightly better top to bottom than the West so far. 10th best team in the East would be tied for 8th in the West. If the Wizards win tonight, there's 11 teams .500 or better.

edit: lmao jinxed them. Beaten at the buzzer.

The Wizards just aren't a very good team right now. Their frontcourt is below average, their bench is meh. Pierce ain't there to bail them out in the clutch anymore either. GM has got to be thinking about firing Wittman.

really? The ref in the back had a perfect view Laughing

Yeah, offense is definitely our biggest problem. Even though defense is shit aswell. We average like 1 pass in half court "sets" and that's a dribble hand-off or something. Awful to watch.

Byron on Lillard, McCollum v. Clarkson, Russell: “You look at our 2 young guards, their 2 young guards. We got outscored by 20-plus points."

Byron Molenation

Our guards went 14-27 scoring 35 points rofl

He's saying that like it's bad. If you add Randle's shooting it was basically the same.

53 points on 39 shots for our 3 players

57 points on 39 shots for theirs.

No way Byron would think that maybe our shots aren't being distributed to the wrong players.

by McAgger Sun Nov 29, 2015 7:55 am

That's okay Kobe had 21 points on 20 shots :bow:

Site seems to be dealing with heavy traffic, but from the title i knew it was going to be Kobe related.

Sad way to go out, but most people who are not Lebron dickriders know how great he was and absolute legend.

I'll miss him Molenation

Dear Basketball,

From the moment
I started rolling my dad’s tube socks
And shooting imaginary
Game-winning shots
In the Great Western Forum
I knew one thing was real:

I fell in love with you.

A love so deep I gave you my all —
From my mind & body
To my spirit & soul.

As a six-year-old boy
Deeply in love with you
I never saw the end of the tunnel.
I only saw myself
Running out of one.

And so I ran.
I ran up and down every court
After every loose ball for you.
You asked for my hustle
I gave you my heart
Because it came with so much more.

I played through the sweat and hurt
Not because challenge called me
But because YOU called me.
I did everything for YOU
Because that’s what you do
When someone makes you feel as
Alive as you’ve made me feel.

You gave a six-year-old boy his Laker dream
And I’ll always love you for it.
But I can’t love you obsessively for much longer.
This season is all I have left to give.
My heart can take the pounding
My mind can handle the grind
But my body knows it’s time to say goodbye.

And that’s OK.
I’m ready to let you go.
I want you to know now
So we both can savor every moment we have left together.
The good and the bad.
We have given each other
All that we have.

And we both know, no matter what I do next
I’ll always be that kid
With the rolled up socks
Garbage can in the corner
:05 seconds on the clock
Ball in my hands.
5 … 4 … 3 … 2 … 1

Love you always,
Kobe

Kobe is an absolute legend. One of the GOATs. Can't imagine basketball without him. But it was definitely time.

by izzy Mon Nov 30, 2015 1:08 am

One of the best to ever do it.

His career will be bloviated by his Stans.
His negatives will be highlighted by his Haters.

I'll miss him. At least he got the surpassing MJ in points he badly wanted. He worked hard for that. Maybe his most proud achievement.

by Freeza Mon Nov 30, 2015 1:11 am

The achievment he's most proud of is his win against Boston in the finals irrc, that's what I think he said.

Can't imagine basketball without Kobe. Been following him since prime Kobe in 06 when Danish TV started showing it. Was an absolute beast in those years and the best scorer I've ever seen.

So sad I'll never watch him play in person Sad

That's the thing, it's just sad that the Lakers had nothing around him post achilles and obviously he was never the same player since then. It's just sad how it ended really, wins his 5th in 2010 and since then he hasn't come close.

by izzy Mon Nov 30, 2015 1:19 am

Hopefully people give him his own legacy and not this "be like Mike" crap that is associated with him. It's insulting to him and what he's achieved.

Well we were somewhat favourites in 2011. Then Dallas happened to go on a one the greatest underdog runs in playoff history.

He was great in the achilles season. I just think he could've escaped injuries if we got CP3 and he didn't have to play PG and guard PGs

Drummond's shoulder hair...

Someone shave that shit

by Great Leader Sprucenuce Mon Nov 30, 2015 1:22 am

True about 2011 Freeza, but still it's been 4 years. Even ignoring that, it's still sad how it's ended.

He told LMA he could be his Pau Gasol.................... you gotta give a little.

LMA ain't gonna bring you a Chip with just himself, but come on.

Great player, top 15 all-time at least, the game will miss him.

by izzy Mon Nov 30, 2015 1:30 am

And as we speak...... the transition from Kobe....... to James Harden. :facepalm:

This guy is awful to watch and he doesn't even has the consistent substance to at least make up for it.

OK, I'll bite. Who do you have above?

I have him pretty high, I'm just saying he should be on everyone's top 15.

I have never made a list but he would be somewhere in my top 7 probably, maybe top 5 tbh.. I don't rate big men so he would be up there

by McAgger Mon Nov 30, 2015 1:38 am

Kobe is definitely in top 10. Im not even a big fan but I can admit that much.

by McAgger Mon Nov 30, 2015 1:41 am

In no particular order my top 10 atm is MJ, Magic, Bird, Wilt, Kareem, Shaq, Duncan, Bill Russell, Kobe, Hakeem.

That's pretty much how it should be.

I wasn't arguing your statement, I just wanted to know who you had above. Laughing

How can you not rate big men? They are the most dominant players in the game. What is wrong with you?

I can't rate players that dominate the game within a 10 foot radius over players who play the whole court..

The perimeter players I would definitively place above Kobe are MJ, Magic and LeBron.. Maybe Bird too
