I also just thought Nash-Kobe were a terrible combo. It just looked awkward and inefficient, and they had to choose before the possession who would run the offense. I guess it’s still sort of early, but that is an experiment I’d abort, and just use Nash only when Kobe is off the court… he doesn’t have it in him to just be a spot-up shooter. Kobe wants to create his own shot, he’s not gonna run around and hope a PG gets him the ball in a good shooting area.

I agree about the awkwardness.

Also, Nash doesn’t even seem like Nash with that haircut.

and man, the you’ve gotta suck to get blasted by the Pelicans.

i keep this, jmac

hey karma, where have you been?

Just busier with my work schedule.

I still lurk on the site from time to time but its more difficult to comment. However, I am excited at the fact that we are exceeding our cap of 17 comments on Ballin today.

wade was playing like a young man yesterday

more active but still whining?

They called two iffy travels on Kobe and a three second call,

That’s true, there was a clear make-up call about 30 seconds afterwards. They missed Dirk getting hit though and T’d him up right after for pointing it out. Indefensible.

Kobe was great in the 4th. For a while, James and Carter matched him shot for shot though, and then the refs just gave the game to L.A. with two terrible techs and an imaginary foul. Would have liked to see Kobe win it on his own.

They called two iffy travels on Kobe and a three second call, followed by a completely bogus moving pick on Dwight all in the span of 3 minutes. Officials were horrible

and the other time faked him out of his shoes and nailed an open jumper. Game.

The sequence of events was already in motion… without those three calls earlier, they have a margin for error there. But yeah, I saw Kobe eyeing up Carter and just thought ‘uh oh’ and he didn’t disappoint.

I think the Lakers were a bunch of whiny bitches for their comments on a hypothetical… it’s not like the whole world hasn’t asked if they should amnesty Kobe. He costs twice as much (after taxes) as LeBron… But I did enjoy seeing him go into killer mode, and thought it was a solid tweet.

After the Rudy Gay trade, I noted how the schedule eased up.

Oh, yeah. One more thing. The Grizz have 11 home games/16 road games the rest of the season. NBA on the road ain’t that easy.

Also, the Mavs lost because with about a minute or two left in the guy, they decided to let VINCE CARTER single cover Kobe. Kobe jab stepped and scored on him one time, and the other time faked him out of his shoes and nailed an open jumper. Game.

Well, now they’ve won seven in a row. They probably don’t win this if Joe Johnson plays.

Maybe. Howeva, if Robin Lopez had been more productive last night, they win anyway.

Nevertheless, a win’s a win. Memphis has Dallas at home on Wed, then they head to South Beach to play the LeBrons Friday night.

My Grizz aren’t pretty, but not that long ago they were 22-60. “What do you want from live”?

I’m certain 74% of you will enjoy that 5-minute reel of Kobe from the game.

CJ Miles outscored the entire heat team to close out the 3rd. Cavs shoudla won.
