w/r/t Kobe's shot selection.

Most of the stuff inside the arc, I was generally okay with. It’s stuff he hits and we want him to take. He missed a crapton of midrange shots that he’s hit in bunches since forever. The eight threes were just inexcusable though, especially since nearly all of them led to easy buckets in transition for Denver.

yes, those 8 3s were killer

the other shots, his close range stuff, just wasn’t bouncing in. He was missing some lift from his legs

by bluexfalcon on Jan 1, 2012 7:55 PM PST up reply actions  

I agree

Taking too many threes was the problem. If he misses the shots he normally takes and makes, I can live with it. Sometimes guys just have a bad night.

It wasn't the first time he's taken ridiculous treys.

I didn’t think his shot selection was bad. His wrist was an obvious factor in many of them.

My bigger problem was him playing outside the offense so much

when Drew was clearly having his way when he got the ball. I’m okay with some Kobe-iso’s, but especially on an off night, he needs to recognize when to work within the offense. The play where Gasol dished to him inside was because he was willing to give it up and work the offense. Need more of that stuff.

by Aethereal on Jan 1, 2012 8:01 PM PST up reply actions  

Yeah

It was not so much the types of shots he took as much as the fact that he took that many shots in the 4th quarter. Throw it into the post to Pau or Bynum and let them do their thing. Bynum kept getting good positions in the post – he just needed the ball. If it’s late in the shot clock and there were no good looks, I don’t mind Kobe then taking those shots.

We’ve all seen this problem before with Kobe, but I thought Kobe’s display of boneheaded selfishness tonight was pretty unprecedented.

some take homes

1. bynum (or howard) is fast becoming and actually should be our first option. everytime he had the ball, good things were soon to follow. his impact on D was seen through and through. we got ourselves a rim protector. now for him to stay healthy and aggressive.

2. pau had a quiet 20 points. the quiet part has me worried. man, he better post up harrington the next time around. dare i say this? i think the scola-martin-pg trade prior to this season could have been a win-win for us. have you seen the latest stats by those guys? and i’d take love over gasol (over this love has no post game blah blah)

3. kobe looked flat, played flat and looked gassed out. guy regressed and transitioned to a slump. he had open bricks. we can forgive the guy except for his hero balling.

4. mwp and blake, nice, nice play.

5. i like our team’s grit. too bad jmac was in foul trouble.

6. we better win in houston.

only upside of that is Lopez will be back this season. if orlando took this deal it would be from a rebuilding persepective because more than likely they would get a potential lottery pick out of the deal if they wait until february to make the deal

by then the nets are in the tank and 2.5 months with williams and howard together isn’t going to improve the record that much to make the draft pick horrible. so i still think that deal can happen

if they do make it they are a first round ass whupping waiting to happen as currently constructed.

point is they aren’t going to trade and sign themsleves into a contender, that ship sailed about 3 years ago. They are going to have to rebuild themselves through draft picks and youth until they can get good enough again to attract some superstars. so taking the nets deal isn’t a terrible option come february if the nets are like a 10 win team by then. they aren’t a win now team anymore basically whether they realize it or not.

Theres no reason for kobe to put up 28 shots

Especially when u have 2 big men playing pretty well. Idk what he has against passing into the post but they need to get that squared away asap. Its our strength and we should go to it until they stop it. Not contested 3’s early in the shot clock. He could easily avg 7-8 dimes a game which would make the team better as a whole.

It makes perfect sense basketball wise

Whats the one thing everybody harps on when talking about the Lakers? Our size. Why not get the most out of It on offense too? Defenses start doubling Drew then Kobe becomes even more effective off the ball.

stats were decieving

watched most of the game, he was really weak in the post and kept dragging out to the free throw line for long 2’s (kinda reminds you of someone huh?), anyhow, his final numbers were more of the easy dunks of an assist or occasion putback. – maybe he decided to give kobe some company tonight with his shooting…major derp!!

I guess he didn’t want to deal with the “Kobe, do you think you could have uh not taken 28 shots?” Reporters somehow end up phrasing those in much more benign ways.

The team was just gassed from so many games in a short time. Since no one really demanded the ball, maybe Kobe figured he had to play hero. OTOH, maybe he was playing against himself in Fantasy BB and was losing in the FG %. :)

Other thing that perplexes me (as it did E-ROC, lol), was the lack of P&R.

Since it was such a big emphasis in other games, even last yesterday, when we had some interesting formations like Bynum setting the pick, sucking the defense in, and Pau filling the space in the high post or at the elbow for an open jumper. It’s supposed to be a big part of the offense and we just didn’t run a whole lot of it today. Even things like the cross screens to help guys post up weren’t there a lot either, and the ball and man movement were so stilted. For all his faults today, Kobe had some nifty passes to guys on cuts and similar, and you wish we put him in position to do similar stuff like via the P&R.
