Metta is on fire!

 

[Black Adam]

have you noticed the defensive effort has imporved with MWP in there...?

 

[Retroram52]

Great rebound by Bass and Clarkson goes the other way.

Yep. I mentioned that in one of my posts. They are playing way better D tonight. Maybe Metta is a better mentor than Kobe. Oops, did I say that?

 

[Retroram52]

Bad pass by Russell.

 

[Retroram52]

A three by Fornier and the Magic up by that amount at the half. Well, 2:00 am comes early. I am out.

 

[True Lakers Fan]

I have to ask if any one besides me believes that Kobe may have given up and is riding only

As with about 90% of the things you believe, it's just you TLF.

It should, that's his gig.

 

[OutlawImmortal]

It should, that's his gig.

I think the highest amount of points allowed since Metta started playing is 101 last night.

Got here late but Nance is looking good, can't say he doesn't have the athleticism to play in NBA.

Yeah, I agree about Nance. I agree with @wildturkey that they could have gotten him in the 2nd round, but at least he's starting to make it look like it wasn't such a bad pick after all.

 

[trojanfan12]

3:14 left, 2 point game and Russell is still in.

Byron must read the Hoop.

 

[OutlawImmortal]

That spin move from Randal was smooth, imagine what he'll be capable of when he develops a mid-range game.

I agree. I still can't get over how quick he is too.

 

[OutlawImmortal]

Nice shot by Vucevik, all you can really say. Lou Williams missing the rim ended up being costly.

Yep. Hibbert had him defended as well as can be. Dude just hit a great shot.

 

[Black Adam]

so...

anyone else think Kobe might just about be done...?

 

[Retroram52]

I think Kobe is going to get frustrated always being hurt and eventually get the message that his body cannot deliver on what his mind is wanting and asking. Father time always wins and Kobe, as stubborn as he is, will have to eventually concede for him.

We are also getting closer to playing competitive basketball with just about anybody. The dude just hit a great shot to win last night's contest. We shall see how things go on Friday against Dallas.

 

[OutlawImmortal]

I'll wait before I say Kobe is done, they may have to consider resting him on back to backs and give him days off. He needs his lift back, without that his shot is flat and his ability to attack the rim is hampered.

You can go ahead and say it. Kobe was officially done last year. Everyone knows it but him. He has no lift or lateral quickness because his body is shot. That ain't coming back.
