Good game by the team. Emotional night as well seeing Kobe.
Our main weakness now is the bench, both sides of the floor. Coach has to try and create more chemistry between them. It needs an identity.
I'm worried about AD. Defensively he's great. I don't know, but he doesn't seem to impose himself a lot on offense recently. Is the shoulder really bothering him to the degree where he's afraid to shoot and take over on isolations? There is some 2013 flashbacks here...
We need to capitalize on the easy November schedule and get better offensively before playing the heavyweights later on.

Yeah... Kobe thick... I think it's time to stop thinking about a comeback now... Might as well be thinking about a Shaq comeback too.
Never have rice at Hanzo's house...

I just want to say: all 3 of ball, bi, hart out w injuries tn lol. Good freaking riddance. Always something w them.
Warspite:
Prince + filler for Kobe Bryant
To be honest the way Prince has played and with Kobes injury/age/mileage Im not sure I would do that deal either. Still Prince is more important and he wins the head to head battles with Kobe.

The wheels off the New Orleans might make the playoffs bandwagon came off before it even got out of the garage.

Davis is playing at a MVP level on the defensive end, but offensively he can be much better. 5/14 shooting stas are just bad. I know he is playing through injury, but I think he can be way more effective. Nice W, let's finish the homestand with another W vs the lowly Thunder.

I knew that about AD going into the season. Which is why he worked so well with cousins in NO. It was an inside/out 1-2 punch. The post game was cousins, AD dove to the basket or played perimeter mid range.
With cousins out, we dont have a true post game, except for Bron. And if Bron constantly heads to the post to bang, he wont make the 82 games. Just way too many strong guys in this league. AD is just gonna have to develop and force an interior game. He has to progress in all areas. Like that jump hook he likes, somethin. And well take off as a team. Less reliance on bron.

I read so many opinions about Kawhi's load management etc, but what happens if he miss 23 games and they fail to win the championship? Sorry I am digressing but I was a "victim" of Ball sitting out games too. I paid hard earned money to see him and he couldn't even play that freaking preseason game. Valid injuries or not, if he misses 30+ games again, why is he getting paid the full salary again?
