***Kobe "The Fraud" Bryant appreciation

Hustle-man "the fraud" thread    


Go Lakers!!!

How about his boy Tmac, who he said was also better than Kobe?  How about his 0-7 and 1 pt in the 4th qtr, in both games?!?!?  I bet he'd be here talking smack if that was Kobe.

 

LOL - And it's the thread's favorite whipping boy, westcoasttrojan.  And not at a moment too soon.

That's funny you say I make outlandish predictions when all of my basketball related predictions come true.  Have you not paid attention, clown?

2006 - Me in April - "The Miami Heat are a LOCK to win the NBA title and any other future bet is a waste of money" -  What happened?

2007 - Phil Jackson stated that the team would start going to Bryant earlier in games.  Me - The Fakers will go on a guaranteed losing streak ats for the rest of the season.  What happened? 4-15 ATS to close out the season.

2007 - The Bulls are not a championship team and will regress.  What happened?  Didnt even make the playoffs

2008 - Started the FADE train once again towards the end of the year.  What happens?  It hits 60%.

Westcoasttrojan (like most Kobe fans) are idiots and have short term memory lapses.

The funny thing about Kobe fans like WCT (not true LAKERS' fans such as myself) is that they really think Bryant can win a title without Shaq... LOL  He doesnt have enough talent or leadership to do it.

And for the last time, the FADE train has nothing to do with the point spread.  It has everything to do with Bryant's lack of talent and his knack for hijacking the team's offense, which causes for other teams to keep games close.  Case in point... GAME 1 vs. Denver.

If Phil didnt bench Bryant (like he should have for the rest of the game in qt 3) then the Fakers would have won by 25.  Bryant's poor play single handidly kept Denver in the game.

As far as Gasol... LOL @ that.  Once he plays against a team with a true low post scorer, he'll get dominated.  And you'll see why they miss KB, who not only took up space in the middle, but absorbed penetration from the perimeter when Bryant's man consistently beats him off the dribble.

And now he's trying to take shots at a real talented, team player like Tracy McGrady?  He's a player that really has little help and has to do it all, unlike Bryant who just didnt have enough talent to carry a team and bitched about it.

westcoastTrojan

wow, where do I start. Lets start with Gasol. What was their record with him this year, 21-5? You think they go 21-5 with Kwame?  LOL. So now its "wait till he plays a team with a true low post scorer?"  You clown. Way to try to get yourself out of that one. Nothing better than reading your quote of "and you'll see why they miss KB, who not only took up space in the middle, but absorbed penetration from the perimeter when Bryant's man consistently beats him off the dribble."  The Lakers are going to miss KB?  Wow!

And great, you were right in some areas. We don't expect you to wrong in every statement you make. We think you're an idiot, but come on, we'll give you a little more credit than that. The whole point is you like to make outlandish remarks to get a rise out of people. Remarks like Odom is better than Kobe, Vick will win before Peyton, and Gasol on the Lakers will have no more of an effect than Kwame, thats what you're known for. Stupid ass shit.

And its interesting how you like to say how much talent Kobe has to play with and Tmac doesn't. Lets see, the team Tmac is playing with is very similar to what Kobe had the previous couple of years. Thats why Kobe struggled and had to take a ton of shots. But no, no benefit was given to Kobe when he was looking bad because of the lack of talent he had last year, right? Nope, of course not, it comes back to your blatant hate for this guy. It has nothing to do with his talent, you just don't like him, and it shows. He can win the championship this year, and you'll say it was because of Ronny Turiaf. He can do no right in your eyes. And make up your mind, are you admiting how much better Gasol is than kwame? You're saying the Lakers have a better team than Houston, yet, Kwame is as good as Gasol. So what makes the Lakers such a better team? The addition of Fisher? Could it be that Kobe doesn't have to do as much because others are stepping up, which is all he's asked for the past few years? Hmmm......

You can keep laughing, the only one thats laughing is us at you. We're not laughing with you kid.

And to get things straight, for the 10th time, I'm not even a Lakers fan, so I have no biased opinions here. I actually use to hate the Lakers, but I see a great team in the Lakers. Once you start talking about Odom being better than Kobe, thats when I gave my opinions, but you take it as if I'm a Laker fan. You know there are actually people who are not Lakers fans, who actually think Kobe is a great player, don't you?  Whats going to happen when Kobe wins the MVP this year? Was it because of his team? Or are you going to say the MVP is a ridiculous award, because that seemed to be your argument in the past (Why hasn't Kobe won a MVP if he's so great?). 

Face it kid, your past rants are starting to come back to haunt you. Your AAU days are over, and it doesn't give you an edge over anyone else.  

Simply looking for clarification because I don't want you coming here later and saying "the Fade Train rolls on...another win for the Fade Train" if you're not even posting it as a play.

Are the Enver (No D) Thuggets +8 a "Fade Train" play or not?

Man this page is nut. It need a part 2,3,4 and so on.

MVP is regular season, not playoffs.

He said the 3 funniest thing in just 1 paragraph. That's not easy to do. A stand up comedian.

This should be archived so that generation after generation can come and view this comedic piece of garbage.

Can you imagine how Hustleman would react if Kobe scored 4 points and picked up his 5th foul at the beginning of the 4th, in a tight game?

 

Western Conference Quarterfinals Game 3

LA Fakers @ Denver Nuggets

After watching Games 1 and 2, it was apparent to me that George Karl has the right game plan to win a game against the Fakers and that was to allow for Bryant to chuck FGA from the perimeter while collapsing the D on the rest of the team, notably the Fakers' best players - Gasol and Odom - but the Nuggets D couldn't get enough stops in the 4th quarter for the W.

The reason the Fakers have won both games are due to their ability to play TEAM basketball, which is the reason they won Game 1 and in the 2nd qt surge that put them ahead in Game 2, which was lead by their "weak" bench.

The combination of Karl finding out the right defensive scheme + Bryant having his one time a month high percentage shooting game + the Nuggets having the home crowd have made for the FADE train to make it's 2008 NBA Playoffs debut.

I don't like Karl moving Linas Kleiza into the starting lineup but he's traditionally had high scoring games against the Fakers, including a career high 41 points this season, because of the fact he's been guarded by weak on ball defenders like Bryant and Vujacic.

Time to start up the engine for this one as it should be another up and down, fast paced game but if the Nuggets follow the game plan they've had the 1st two games, while not letting up once the Fakers "weak" bench comes in, they should have no problem getting the W this afternoon.

Let's watch to see if they can execute for 48 minutes.

Western Conference Quarterfinals Game 3 Recap

The game is in the books and like in 2006-2007 when the FADE train was founded, it starts with a L.

Got to give the Fakers credit in this one... They actually played TEAM basketball for the majority of the game, which is the only thing that can derail the FADE train.

Credit goes to Luke Walton for his all around play and Derek Fisher for making big shots to key a 3rd quarter breakaway run.

Was the FADE train for 1 game only?  Of course not.  We know how undisciplined certain players for the Fakers are and it won't go away, not in these playoffs.

Sadly, the Denver Nuggets are about to be finished off.  And so is George Karl.

On a game related note, is anyone NOT surprised that the Fakers won by their largest margin with Bryant taking his LEAST amount of shots in this game?  LOL - Although I'm disappointed the FADE train was not successful today, it always feels good to be proven right over and over again, as in knowing that the Fakers are only successful when they play TEAM basketball.  Too bad Bryant isn't smart enough to play it consistent enough for the Fakers to be championship contenders, which is why the team won't win a title until he is traded for smarter talent.

On to Game 4!

Hey Hustle, I backed the Lakers in games 1,2 & 3 and guess what I am sitting on 3-0 ATS baby Poor Vegas have no fucking idea in setting lines with this Lakers team against the shitty Nuggets.

So I say fuck the fade train son and hop on the bandwagon, there is plenty of room for you champ. Repeat after me...money, money, money, money!!!!!

Maybe against the Jazz in Salt Lake City I will look to fade them but otherwise I love money too much to be fading them against weaker opposition ...much weaker

My mistake.   4 game sweep!!!

 

The Jazz are going to be REAL tough. I can't wait for that series.
