    So Pau came from the Memphis Grizzlies to carry Kobe????? ROFLMAO! GTFOH with that garbage. Dude you’re embarrassing yourself.
    Nobody does anything alone bro. For some folks here that’s difficult concept to grasp. Pau was a key second star needed to get the job done but he didn’t carry Kobe.

    The questions about Mobley's passion for basketball were stupid AF.

    And that narrative was pushed hard by posters who were pro other players and for sure never watched him play a single game in their lives.

    Mobley may be on quiet side but he plays with fire, he is just a controlled cerebral player who makes everything seem easy.

    Watching for how a player rotates within the team defense isn’t really that hard if you know what you are looking for. It’s just kind of boring because you need to really just focus on the individual player and not the ball, or at least I do.

    I definitely don’t watch Jalen like this all the time or go back and break down tape or anything. But I do watch him like this for stretches here and there and he is not very good at team defense on the whole from what I have watched. I think coaching may be part of that though.

    7-8 games major minus when on the floor. 32 mpg and 2 rebounds and 2 assists….that’s awful. He is good at points and brings only all negatives after that. If you bring nothing else to the floor you’ve got to score more than 17 ppg to be a net positive for the team. He reminds me of a product made in China….

    Yeah, that's exactly what happened.

    When Kobe was the best player on the team they struggled to make the playoffs.

    If Pau doesn't go to LA, Kobe forces his way out to find someone to carry him.

    It cracks me up to see Green haters performing mental backflips.

    First, you’re like, “Green’s not good at anything!”

    Then, when he started scoring, you were, “He’s inconsistent!”

    Now that he’s getting more consistent offensively, you’re claiming, “He brings nothing else to the floor!”

    I look forward to seeing your future creative excuses to justify your past overreactions.

    God some of you ppl are so binary in you thinking. Firstly he has improved. It's plain as day you just don't want to see it and secondly most major improvements happen in the off season anyway. Did you just start watching nba basketball??

    Then let’s cut him Monday morning.

    ChillyPete has spoken.

    Glad that’s settled.

    All you passive aggressive green-haters need to collectively STFU with all your negative fn BULLSHIT.

    THAT + the unrelenting popup ads is turning CF into pure garbage.

    Everyone and their mom knew that JG was primarily a scorer coming into the draft. No they want to grade him off the point guard scale lmao Not to mention if you actually watch the games his pnr passing and decision making has actually been better than advertised. Sure he still has a ways to go but most of these blowhards on here pretend like none of that is the case

    What did Pau win before or after Kobe?

    What’s the equivalent of this straw man on the other side? Jalen will win multiple league MVPs as evidenced by the 20 points he dropped in the RS game. T for 3 has spoken. Glad that’s settled.

    Why would I want to leave rather than enjoying Jalen’s future HOF career on here as you are prognosticating? Looking forward to posting about his domination with you once it starts happening.
