The tanking is fine but you're also burning up what remains of Kobe's career by playing so many minutes. Scott needs to stop pandering to Kobe and restrict him to something remotely reasonable for his age and recent injury history. It just doesn't make sense from any perspective beyond Kobe's ego. | ||

This "forming a plan" ESPN headline i posted earlier fits right into this hilarious theory zev318 posted. forming a plan? WTF. lol. sit him down. a plan? who is the coach here? After, 16 meetings , a talk with the board of directors, and then a discussion with david stern and magic johnson a consensus will be formed around April that they should lower Kobe's minutes. and it'll grab 10 more ESPN headlines throughout the 2nd half of the season. | ||

I'm sorry. Edit: Also, no one can talk shit about the Hawks now that they've beaten Chicago, Cleveland, Houston, and Dallas in a row. ESPN hyperbolic machine is going to call them the best team in the league once they beat the Clippers tomorrow night. | ||

Yeah, the one I saw used 2006 as a turning point for when he turned into a minus defender. That sounds about right. | ||

It's crazy how much better west teams are getting, Rondo to Dallas, Brewer to Houston, and possibly Smith as well. cray cray | ||
