The Official NBA Week 10 Thread

Kobe is a freak. Wish he played for my team.

If his foot wasnt on the sideline, I'll be ****ed

Did you expect anything else from the games greatest finisher. Feel sorry for the Kings, you can't shoot that well and the opposition play that bad for a half and still lose can you?

 

[Hodges]

Yeah I cant believe they actually called it good, it looked like his foot was clearly on the line. Home town call I guess...

I'd be the greatest finisher if I could push off the defender (to the ground, FFS) then take a shot with half my foot on the sideline.

It looked distinctly like a travel also on the hop, but lets face it, does anyone know what the NBA travel rules are anymore?

The NBA just gets harder and harder to follow when there are clearly 2 sets of rules for certain teams and players

Looked out on the TV but on the replay it was right in front of the Kings bench and you could see several of the coaching staff looking at kobes feet and none of them seemed to protest. Oh well CLUTCH!!!

Whats that now 3 buzzer-beaters to win already? ****in hell

Anyone else on the Omri Casspi bandwagon? Sure, he may never be a superstar, but will be a very handy player for many years

Well you won't be ****ed because it was definitely on the line but of course nobody should be surprised by the non-call.

 

[DeadlyAkkuret]

How good was Kobe when the game was slipping away from LA? It's almost expected now, he almost always makes those huge shots.

**** yeah!

Edit: Someone got a side view of the shot? On the two replays I saw it looked in.

absolutely. really love this kid. so much versatility for his size, has shooting range, and a real competitive streak. such a promising future for the Kings. kinda wish they were my team.

felt gutted for them when they lost. but kobe is kobe.

and watch the replay closely, Kobe doesn't push the defender off. it's not even his defender. Kobe sets a pick for Vujacic's defender who pretty much runs straight into him (and then milks it for all its worth). You just can't blow the whistle on that. As for foot on the line, as someone else said, Coach Westphal had his eyes locked on Kobe's feet and didn't protest one bit.

Aldridge has done his ankle and Blake hospitalised with pnemonia.

Is someone taking the piss?

This is their current line.

PG:
SG: Brandon Roy
SF:
PF:
C: Profit

 

[Hodges]

Sounds about right. Karma for Pritchard trying to bully other GM's into not picking up Darius Miles.

But seriously, its the craziest thing. Golden State were in a similar position at the start of the season, but none of their injuries were long term like the Blazers. Patty Mills should get the call up, they can run a 4 guard lineup.

The reason he ran straight into him was that Kobe set a blatant moving screen. But yeah, you can't reasonably expect the Kings to get that call against the Lakers late in the game, and given the Kings' defensive set on the last possession, they deserves to lose.

I still can't believe more teams don't at least try to play box-and-one or similar on last possessions against teams like the Lakers. You really need a guy watching Farmar on the weak side on the final possession? Really?

Boston's starting five looks mega funny.

 

[Borgsta]

anyone got a watchable stream for Magic game?

That's a ridiculous lineup. Surely they can start something better than that

 

[WALL-e]

Can't find any, Freedocast is ugly atm.

 

[Darealrath]

Woah, Pacers winning a game.

No surprises no Murphy or Ford. The two players who when they are off the court, we do better.

 

[X_box_X]

Would Aaron Brooks be right up there in the "Most Improved Player" award for this season?

Yeah, but look at your opponents......
