..When betting on a team and then watching the game, which players really grind your gears for playing dumb or just plain playing horrible. I'll start with the game on right now.. the "Machine" Sasha Vujacic. First of all, he is nicknamed machine and is supposedly a awesome shooter.. guy never passes and just hoist up brick after brick after brick... plays bad defense, gets burned by every PG, and he commits the worst fouls. Sidenote you can't really complain about Kobe too much, but he does get on my nerves when he reverts to his old "do it all 1 on 5 by myself" You got a great supporting cast and you need to pass the ball around. I know I know he makes some crazy good shots and he's their best player and yes he has been a better team player this year, still sumtimes he tries to do to much by himself. Feed your big men more.
I'm talking about those 2 possessions of the end of the half where Kobe ran the ball up played 1on1 and took 2 really really BAD shots. Yes he is playing good team basketball as of late, but I still see him playing 1on1 sometimes. That's fine if you get a good shot off, but don't settle for a terrible shot when you have 15 seconds left on the clock. Pass the ball. Like I said you can't really complain about Kobe.. he's a superstar and he makes the team go.. but there is still room for improvement imo.
I just feel a lot of people think kobe is the old ball hog he used to be.yes he used to be one.just dont thnk he is now.always looking to hit gasol in the post especially when in the air and looks like hes gonna shoot,then pass.and when you need a game winner,is there anybody you want with the ball to win???
did you read my post, did you watch the last 2 minutes of the half? I hear what you're saying but anyone who thinks Kobe is the same guy he was 3 years ago doesn't watch basketball. I've watched alot of Laker games this year, probally missed less then 5. He passes alot now and gets everyone involved, but some possessions like the last 2 in the half is what I am talking about.
The reason is the Lakers were up 49-41, Kobe takes a shot falling over with 15 seconds left on clock, no passing, no movement... miss. Parker fast break two point 49-43. Next possession.. Kobe 1on1 shoots a well contested shot with 15 sec on clock still. What happens? Miss Parker another 2 pt layup. That was a huge swing.. could've easily been up 51-41 a 10 pt lead.. and really had the momentum going. Instead it's only a 6 pt game at half.
ill tell you who is keeping my gears turning and that is danny granger...granger has got to be the most underrated player in the league...the guy does everything and as a pacer fan i am gonna enjoy the years of watching him!!
as far as grinding though i would have to say jermaine oneal!! this guy thinks he is nba elite material and has never been anything close and i am so glad the pacers woke up and got rid of him!! his ego far outweighs his performances...and toronto is finding that out the hard way...thank you toronto for getting that loser out of indy!!!

Billy Paultz and then Swen Nater...
Swen was good at UCLA but a real stiff in the NBA.
Billy Paultz was a cross between a stoned Kevin Mchale and the 1970's Washington Redskins QB with the gut.
You're showing your age there.. :nohead: No idea who those guys are.
Another player to add to the list: Tracy Mcgrady. If he's even on the court.
