i can't see the game, is it cringe-worthy bad? or are the raps still in it

 

Kobe has been a great passer and fining easy shots for the Lakers. JV has been pretty awful on defense and Raps are missing a ton of shots on offence. That said they are still easily in the game and good chance they can come back. Lakers defence is awful Raps just need to execute.

58-49 at half for the lakers.

 

So far it's cringeworthy bad IMO

Lakers are also shooting long jumpshots at an unsustainable pace. Raps are missing 3s at an unsustainable pace as well.

The raptors are the anti-spurs... ISO every play.

[burlingtonbandit]

See.. Raps defence wasn't much different from the first half but Lakers missed 4 jumpshots.

[burlingtonbandit]

Uh oh. Please don't be hurt JV and Amir.

[burlingtonbandit]

JV and Ross looked so bad in the last 3 min..Jesus

 

There is making mistakes because of youth and then there is being stupid.

[dineke]

Lol embarrassing. This team ain't winning a series against the Bulls or Cavs in the playoffs.

wat. Playoffs aren't in Dec dude..

[burlingtonbandit]

Lol Lakers have had like 4 shots tonight where they've had their foot on the 3 point line and only gotten 2 point buckets.

[dineke]

wat. Playoffs aren't in Dec dude..

 

When are they? January?

[burlingtonbandit]

When are they? January?

 

5 months from now.. No one is going to remember this game even a month from now.

[burlingtonbandit]

Phantom call on Kobe there...No one even touched him.

[Orgfiller]

Lou Williams is insane.

[burlingtonbandit]

I still don't they're helping so much on Kobe. Let him shoot 2s all day I don't want an open 3 by swaggy P or Lin.

[burlingtonbandit]

Anyone else feel like Kobe is the Derek Jeter of basketball? Won multiple championships in a big market and are overrated by many.

He's exactly that.

[burlingtonbandit]

Lou is so damn crafty.

[dineke]

Kobe might be overrated, but he's not near the level of overrated-ness as Jeter.

[John_Havok]

I wish someone would slap that smirk off Nick Young's face.

I dunno Id say hes the most overrated of all time. Advances stats aren't a fan of Kobe's entire career.

Which advanced stats?

[John_Havok]

Kobe isnt overrated. He's just cocky, arrogant and one of the NBA players of all time.

He's a poor man's Michael Jordan, the fact that some put him above MJ is an insult. He's also been carried to most of his championships by bigs. Not sure if I'd say most overrated, he is after all an excellent player.

[burlingtonbandit]

Handsborough should not be taking jumpshots.

[burlingtonbandit]

How the f*** was that a foul on Ross?

He is overrated. I would take Dirk or Duncan's career over his easily... but he was still the 2nd best player and but up some dominant performances in the playoffs on those championship teams.

 

Overrated... but not on Jeter's level.

[burlingtonbandit]

As we are talking about Kobe being overrated he has his best game of the season.. Lol of course.

[Orgfiller]

The f***ing ball won't go in, wtf?
