    For sure. I was thinking more specialist in that area. Kobe could do it all.

    He's a great shooter but seems a bit reluctant. Coaching staff should implore him to not pass up so many good looks.

    i think part of why his shooting % is up is that he's judicious. i agree that if he's open, he should fire away, but i also get that he's the kind of guy looking for the best shot moreso than the first decent shot.

    This dude's injury may have cost the Lakers as many games as AD's and Lebron's injuries
    Such a good player and he definitely adds to the point differential whenever he plays

    For us to be so good this guy doesn't start is pretty amazing. I would be happy with just more minutes. His play dictates 30 plus... He is a great guy off the bench and will willingly play any role given.

    I love watching this guy play. You know how people say: "play the right way"? Well, basically, this is it.

    He'd be right at home on any good Spurs team of the past... which is an indicator. He has some (a little) Manu in him somewhere there as well.

    Him and Vanderbilt certainly seem like two guys you can finish playoff games.
    Screwed by the refs on what I thought were two clear offensive fouls by Green and then AND1 for Luka, stood up for himself, and buried a huge 3

    Reminds me of Lamar vs KG.

    KG: "Why you slap my a-- yo?"
    Lamar: "I do whatever the f I wanna do".

    That's how you start winning games.
