To be clear, Stuckey is having his worst game of the year offensively, but without him Kobe has 40 by now and we're down by 30, so its a moot point.

He was 1/7 with 2 turnovers when stuckey left the game. If you didnt notice him that, you're either blind or just stupid. Probably the latter.Quote:

ever the optimist.... we will make a run.
Nice 3 Jonas. Try shooting another one if theyre going to ignore you like that.
If we can force LA to play honest defense, we can make a run.
well, now the referees are abusing us, too...
yikes
Hope we can come back and only lose by 11 or so.
something needs to be done to help the guards out. This is absurd.
Will Bynum should not be facing four defenders every time he touches the ball.
If we cant make a trade, then just switch up the rotation. Go smaller off the bench with Max at center and Summers at PF if you have to.
Get someone in the frontcourt that can fucking score besides V. Unless you want this team to be mentally drained by january, change SOMETHING to take the triple-teams off of the guards.
Well, the 25 point lead has been chopped to 15 in only 4 minutes...
Trying to claw their way back. I love it.
Get that shit outta here, Sparty!!!
I hope one of them takes a swing at Maxiell. I really do.
Fuck Kobe for being so good.
And is Maxiell showing some 'tude? I like it.
That's pretty Bad Boy.
At what point do we stop treating it like garbage time? we're only down 12.
Wow, dude.
With 2 FTs here, it becomes a 2 possession game.
ok, this is amusing as fuck.
we're actually back in this game, for a moment.
That's lame. Right call, though.
brutal fuckup by Summers. That should end it.
Liked that we actually got some contributions from some frontcourt guys in the 4th.
It wouldnt kill them to try summers in the rotation next game.
Another game where we fought till the bitter end. That kind of determination makes it continually hard to be too bummed out about these losses. But sooner or later we gotta start winning some of these 'never say die' games.
You could only be pissed if you thought we had a chance.
Bynum + Kobe = greater than anything we have.
And trust Glenn to blame it all on Stuckey. Transparent motherfucker.
Oh, and Bynum got huge (dare I say starter's) minutes. He might have played well, but he plays well off the bench too.
I could only make it for the first half, but most of it was frustrating to watch, but the effort was there so u'm good with that. Can't get too upset when you have the effort and you just lose to a clearly better team. And no, it was not "all Stuckey's fault", nice try, though. My gripe with him was that he wasn't even looking at his teammates. He was playing 1 on 5 out there. The movement was completely stopping when he touched the ball. He was taking horrible jumpers and most of them were way off the mark. I don't know if that was all influenced by his injury or nerves or what, but it sucked. Definitely not all his fault we lost, though.
Good to see Bynum did well, again.
It's nice having 3 guards that on any given night can score 20.
But we need Rip - he's the consistent one.
With Gordon on the floor with him we'll have more options. I'm guessing we're gonna see a lot of Wallace, Nova, Rip, Gordon, Stuckey/Bynum when Rip does come back - we really need his offense.
And who woulda thought we'd be needing more offense after the off-season we just had?
I wouldn't be surprised if we start seeing a small lineup with Bynum -Gordon- Stuckey. I know that it has been discussed, but it may be necessary to get more scoring punch. Of course, that puts even more burden on Ben/Kwame on the boards, so that could be a problem, too.
The player and ball movement really needs to improve, too. 7 assists from our starters last night, and 3 of them came from Big Ben. Of course, it's exacerbated because our bigs can't score, which again drives home the point about the mistake Joe made not moving Tay and/or Rip this summer for a legit big. And you can save the "yeah, but what bigs were available?" shit, I ain't in the mood for it again.
Dude, during the off-season I was begging for trades
BEFORE we spent all our money.
Once we signed Gordon and Nova we were basically done.
Joe went the way he went.
Am I supposed to bitch about it endlessly?
This is what we've got and I'm not content. That's why I've posted Kwame trades. They might not get done but at least I have hope.
Fuck this.

Although Bryant is carrying a heavy scoring load for the Lakers early in the season, the former MVP was revitalized by his first extended time off in several years following Los Angeles' title. He also worked on his low-post game during his summer off, and the results have been obvious in the season's opening weeks.
Bryant frequently took Ben Gordon and other Detroit defenders into the low post, where he either used the moves he learned from Hakeem Olajuwon this summer, or adroitly passed out of double teams to set up open jumpers. Bryant also played with a noticeable edge, jawing with several Pistons before and after scoring on them.
-30, fwiwQuote:

When he was out of the game we were up 7. Kobe was 1/7 and Stuckey has ripped the ball from him twice. Because of the lack of offense, stuckey couldnt match up with him again because Kuester had to go small.
Oh, and you're a moron.
Kobe running his mouth to other players? Guess he's not the guy I thought he was!!
I'm talking about the writer. I can hardly read the thing through the cum stains.
A moron that's not "on your level", let's not forget that.Quote:

I never said stuckey had a great offensive game. I was pointing out the obvious that everybody with two eyes saw, that Stuckey played very good D on Kobe.
Now go bother someone else with your negative bullshit.
I know exactly what you said. I'm exaggerating on your point that we "had" to switch Stuckey off Kobe because we needed more offense. If Stuckey was indeed stopping Kobe, we wouldn't have needed more offense.
Forget it, the moment is gone.
Oh. Clean off your monitor, then.Quote:
