We were out of it before he even got in. Couldn't stop a damn thing, because our best defender sits all 4th quarter.
But he certainly did not help.
(Sparknotes at the end)
It was 93-90, nick young shot goes in and out, gets takin out for kb. 101-90 after 4 possessions of kobe ball.
We have a better TEAM than last year that can actually win Games and you are definitely right with Hibbert playing in the 4th(that pick and roll dunk with PlumLee could have been altered with Hibbert Length.. maybe )
We have a coach who has been blessed with game changing point guards and they ran the show and win games. He is actually terrible.
Russell is gaining confidence and showing up more which is a positive thought from the last couple games. He will be a solid 15 and 7 every night by the final third of the season.
Julius is getting big minutes and is one of the players that show heart.
The opening sequence where kb shot 7 of the first 9 shots was frustrating and his teammates don't want to move without the ball or waste energy cuz he's gonna shoot everytime.
I'm home for the holidays so I am watching more with twc and it's frustrating to watch a team that has the tools to pull out wins but the coach sets them up for failure and a guy who thinks his sliders for 2k are at 100 and just shooting 10 more 3s and not getting his teammates involved.
Angry rant, tldr.
Everyone has said what I said in the thread , cosigning with everyone. Able to catch games at home more. Kobe shoots too many shots and 3s. Byron sucks. Dlo and Julius developing.
