Can everyone agree Harden is better than Westbrook, or is that still a debate?

where 0 basketball iq player plays basketball and making money...

Have can you have 0 IQ when he's a top 5 defender in the league

His defense is so overrated. Everything of him is so overrated.

Definitely not Kobe's fault. He's played great this year. I do think he's a garbage leader but the struggles have more to do with coaching and the supporting cast. Outside of their top 5 players, they have zero players who should be in an NBA rotation.

kobe took some terrible shots, but then again no gasol or dwight.
still think nash needs to run things more instead of passing it to kobe at 23 feet half the time.
the bench needs to have more confidence, but no one is giving them any confidence. there are capable players and shooters there.

i think this all came when nash had to go stretch. when he had to go it was in the middle of a cold streak, then came the big run that ended the game. if you're kobe why pass it to clark, sacre, duhon, or meeks?

How does Sacsanity start if Kobe won't pass to him?

parsons was sick for the past 2 days...didnt know that

[markjay]

Garbage? Were you saying that before the season started? And do you know how hard it is to miss the postseason in the NBA? If he misses the postseason with that type of cast, it will be a big black mark in his career, period.

He's talking about the team now without Dwight Pau and Hill is basically Nash and Kobe plus a bunch of D-leaguers

If you add up all the injuries, it adds up to one Hall-of-Famer missing the entire season(so far), but he still got two more. He should still be able to overcome it, unless he's not really that good.

Pau has played more like a D-leaguer than a hall-of-famer. Is that Kobe's fault?

Dwight has been recovering from a back injury and thus hasn't played like a hall-of-famer. Is that Kobe's fault??

[ReleaseTwill]

Never seen this before..

Then maybe you should have declined those guys instead of trading for them? Sorry, but no takebacks. If you're going to blame others for losing, then maybe Kobe should give back those rings when he teamed up with Shaq, or Pau, Odom and Bynum, because all he did was gang up on less talented teams.

If Kobe doesn't make the postseason, it will be the biggest choke of all time really.

No question.

[CPThree]

Definitely not Kobe's fault. He's played great this year.

...if you only value offense and ignore half the game.

[jjscap]

what is going on with the suns....are they really that bad.

May easily be the worst team in the WC.. Their future is really dark. No talent, no pick, nothing.

Well, if the Lakers continue losing then they'll take take a pick
