Bynum sucks without Kobe right?

[chazzy]

Please don't try and use defense. Kobe has been a non factor for years. Years.

Kobe definitely picks up his defense in the playoffs though. He was playing great help defense on Dwight in the finals, good overall help D in the Boston finals, switching over to Westbrook in the OKC series sealed the series etc.

Kobe averaged 3X more SPG. 2X more BPG than a 7 footer

ROFL...

ouch

That was 2010...not 2009. You really don't even know that?

speaking of his 2010 playoff run

Last 3 Rounds in '10 Playoffs, after getting knee drained
31.2 PPG
6.7 RPG
5.9 APG
.471 FG%

A stretch of 30+ points in 10/11 games

Defending his title

And the exact same could be said about Dirk last year. He was huge against Aldridge in round 1. We had no answer for him. Chandler was getting his ass handed to him.

Gasol couldn't do anything on him.

Dirk made his proper rotations and really stepped it up on defense last year in the playoffs. Especially late in games. When Dirk was on the floor in crunch time last year....the Mavs had a defensive rating of 69.57....amazing.

lol at this cop-out though. Who said we were just talking about 09? You said Kobe hasn't been a good defender for years, and I simply corrected you.

He hasn't. A few games here and there is nothing.

I could say the exact same thing for Dirk last year. I guess you forgot what Dirk did to Aldrige that was so key in the first series. When our "defensive stopper" was getting absolutely raped.

Did you forget that?

[DMAVS41]

Oh...and another thing. In 09...the Lakers as a team shot 55% efg% in the clutch while Kobe shot 44%. So in reality the rest of the Lakers outside of Kobe shot somewhere around 60% efg%. A huge drop off.

Dirk, of course shot higher than his team. Just another illustration of the huge gap in clutch play.

Ouch....

Chucking doesn't help the Lakers. Give the ball to Bynum you greedy mofo. Trade Kobe for somebody decent. Like...Derek Fisher.
