Whatever you do....do not blame KD's struggles on Scott Brooks. It isnt brooks shooting those horrible shots. This is a make or miss league and KD (thanks in large part to TA) is missing a lot of shots. He's also taking a lot of bad shots and TA has forced him into getting the ball out of scoring positions on the floor.

More importantly, Tony has completely taken KD's spirit. He's defeated and despite his offensive woes, his spirit and confidence being taken away is the biggest issue with KD this postseason. That's why he's standing in the corner and differing to Reggie and Russell. His spirit is gone and that has nothing to do with Russell or Scott Brooks.

All you Laker fans that got Kobe in your mouths, what percentage did Kobe shoot that finals when Tony was on him. Hint, He shot 41 for the series and it was much lower when Tony was guarding him.

Calm down, Nicolas. No one is taking anything away from Tony.

Sorry, I get riled when the Kobe task squad comes in forgetting what really took place

What really took place was him winning Finals MVP, and hoisting the Larry O Brien.

I think that's why you're riled.

who cares about the regular season, act like a ***** in the playoffs and you will get sent home. 

great scorers deal with tough defense every year b

You can't facilitate without the ball in your hands. Great scorers have the ball in their hands

35% Usage, the ball is in his hands plenty.
Granted Westbrook is at 39, and then 44 in the 4th quarters which is by far a record.

That's somewhat what the article nobody is reading because they're focusing on the headline is about.
There was a play where KD had the whole side iso'd and post position on Mike Miller, Russ came down and came to his side, he just stood straight up and literally waived it off. The Reggie iso play out a timeout, he was in the corner with his hands on his knees bent over. The first play of OT he actually got easily passed TA losing him on that Perk screen, then still looked over his shoulder and hesitated, TA stole it, sulked down the court and Miller hit that 3.

He is broken.

That's why he out there shortarming FTs. And writing pep talks to himself on his shoes.

But if and when he plays well tonight, Tramel will take all the credit for his headline having inspired him in some type of way.

Don't worry tricky. One day you might see your team in the finals.

One day...

What percentage did Kobe shoot that finals when Tony was on him? Hint, He shot 41% for the series and it was much lower when Tony was guarding him.

I see you Kobe admirers can read, can you answer questions though? CP? L2B? Mamba MVP?

 

[friscostylez]

He did a very good job on Wade, LeBron, Kobe in 2010 during the Celtics run to the Finals.

nah bro, Wade and Lebron still went OFF on the Celtics and TA. He did give Kobe some fits, though.

What does that have to do with Tony Allen clamping Kobe. Kobe has 5 rings too. For the record, I like Kobe, I just can't stand his task force. No offense.

You need glasses bro? I replied to that already.

They defended Kobe well. Kobe didn't shoot as well as he usually does in that series. AGAIN, THEY DEFENDED KOBE WELL... NO EXCUSES. We lost the series.

Big whoop.

Now you want to answer my question?
Who won the next 2 championships after? Who lifted up the next two finals MVP trophies?

Oh, but...me asking that would be "Laker fan living in the past" right?

Can't bring up the good. Let's point out the bad, that's not bringing up the past.

You're mad for no reason. Relax.

Allen played 14 minutes a night in the Finals, 103 minutes in 7 games.

Kobe played 288 minutes, 41 per night.


Kobe shot 43% for the series, before the game 7 6 for 24, in which Allen played 5 minutes.


So again, you hyped about Tony averaging 14 minutes in a series in which his team lost, and he played 5 minutes in the most important game of the season, so....congrats, I guess?

 

[rck3sactown]

I hope CP tag teams the topic with you

 

[imlive365]

Three game 6s tonight fam

Should be a fun night.

What does that have to do with Tony Allen? Yes, LA hoisted, Kobe lifted. Y'all were giggling at the thought of Tony shutting down Kobe, when that's what really happened...

 

[MVP]

I see you Kobe admirers can read, can you answer questions though? CP? L2B? Mamba MVP?

Looks like he shot 39% against Tony. Not some crazy deviation from his series percentage?I'm total...

 

[licensed to ball]

Is this dude serious? We get it... TONY ALLEN IS A GREAT DEFENDER. What else do you want people to say?

Damn bro, all those stats yet you can't answer this one question. What percentage did Kobe shoot when Tony Allen was guarding him?

 

[CHAOSE57]

Tony Allen the gawd

 

[licensed to ball]

Talk about task force.

Never seen someone so persistent on proving something so minuscule.

#TonyAllenTaskForce

 

[senorroboto2k5]

People were giggling more at TA giving Kobe work in '08 (when he played 18 minutes) and TA locking up Kobe in Game 7 (when he played 5 minutes). Not the idea that TA defended him well

Everyone's giving TA credit, you're just making up a Kobe task force to get mad at

 

[nelson999]

Damn bro, all those stats yet you can't answer this one question. What percentage did Kobe shoot when Tony Allen was guarding him?

Who the **** cares?

And this is coming from someone that hates Kobe and the Lakers

 

[sea manup]

kobe never had problems with actually getting the basketball

when has KD ever yelled at anyone to give him the ball?

hes like the abused girlfriend that always complains about not getting any respect but wont speak up for herself

 

[tricky nicky]

I'm arguing with 4 Laker fans. Nvm, y'all win, I shouldnt have brought up Kobe when it's KD that he's been clamping up... My fault
