Right but what I’m saying is AD was at his best when he was at the 5 especially during the playoffs when they won the championship. Ur right Luka a willing passer that’s why he needs an AD power forward type that can do what he did w Bron in 2020 winning a ring
@LePhillyJames23 But there’s no PF like that available that the Lakers can actually get and that’s the issue. Luka could average 10-11 assists if he could but he’s a willing passer.
I hope Cavs fans know that winning “analytically” doesn’t actually matter.
I wouldn’t say blowing a 29 point lead the first game is “outplaying” someone….😭
The Sixers are a better team than the Cavs and this isn’t a debate. They also are gonna add a back up center soon too.
@auravxo I’m not worried at all. Bad shooting night from Bron & Joel missing shots they normally make in their sleep. I expect them to bounce back tomorrow and beat Chicago again
Right but AD was at his best when he was at the 5. Harden and Luka need those AD type of bigs in order for their ball dominant selves to thrive. Bron plays way different than Harden & Luka, he’s more of a pass first guy. That’s why him and AD worked so well together
Yea that’s what I’m saying before Kobe had Gasol he wasn’t doing anything. It was just a one man show w him putting up big numbers on high usage. Those numbers on high usage don’t win rings. That’s why you need an AD type of big in order for this to work
@LePhillyJames23 If we’re being real, if we’re talking about pre Gasol, they weren’t winning anything. That team was trash around Kobe in 05-07. Im sure if you asked him back then if they can realistically win, the answer is no.
And so am I. When you dominate the ball and have a very high usage rate, it doesn’t win championships. Kobe had experience trying that shit it didn’t work
I stg they wanna hate on the Sixers everytime they lose. They was dissing the 2020 Lakers the same way as this year’s Sixers team. It’ll be worth it in the end when the Larry O’Brien is coming to Philly
Just a night where sixers didnt have it and the issues they have had on offense these past 9 games was in full effect. Only game 10 got plenty of ball left to play and am confident they'll be just fine.
But that style of play doesn’t work tho. Kobe knows just like me that Luka & Harden’s style of play doesn’t win championships. Listen to Kobe below on why Luka & Harden’s style of play doesn’t win rings
It’s not. We said the same thing about Harden in his prime and where did that get him? No rings. Luka is following the James Harden path right now and we know how the story ends w heliocentric players dominating the ball
@HoodiiBron It’s 100% sustainable especially in this day & age of the NBA. It would be harder when Jordan in 87/88 was averaging 38 a game when it was more physical. Plus Luka is in the best shape since his 2nd year in the league.
And the shooting numbers will improve as the season goes on. There’s no way they’ll continue to be this bad over the course of the season. Also expect the offense overall to improve as well
Prime Harden went 7 in a row averaging 37 December 22-January 5
Luka is in his prime Harden Rockets bag. We know that style of play doesn’t win championships. It’s fun in the regular season tho
