Why is kobe having to bail the lakers out so much this year. with the addition of artest they became more physical and i think more dynamic but it seems like Kobe has been shooting the ball more than last year. i personally like the fact that the lakers have sat Kobe. 1 he gets to rest and heal...2 it gives the bench and some key players involved and might help them find some stability in their play. i think Kobe is clutch but he shouldn't have to hit a game winner every night and it seems like that is happening a lot this year. yes i was in a fantasy league with John C and he is a jerk. anyway…… Why is kobe having to bail the lakers out so much this year. with the addition of artest they became more physical and i think more dynamic but it seems like Kobe has been shooting the ball more than last year. i personally like the fact that the lakers have sat Kobe. 1 he gets to rest and heal…2 it gives the bench and some key players involved and might help them find some stability in their play. i think Kobe is clutch but he shouldn’t have to hit a game winner every night and it seems like that is happening a lot this year.

I am a grad student myself... and I think we have the same eye for the game. I think single plays can be used as anecdotes to make larger points. check me out if you get a chance. http://twitter.com/IrredeemablyNBA great stuff man.

Even more effective than the position analysis is the visual evidence. Others might write about it, but the visualization employed on this blog really makes it easy to recognize in other situations. There's a big difference between explaining what just happened and educating your readers to notice when it happens in other situations. The visual guides here really make that happen. Keep it up. Quite frankly, even one a day is a precious gift. I second John C. Even more effective than the position analysis is the visual evidence.

I wish I could post more too but with running NetsAreScorching and grad school, I am basically limited to 1 post a day. I try to do more when I can (yesterday I got 2 up). Thanks again for the kind words though. Thanks for the kind words John, it means a lot.

Your analysis is always in depth and truly mind-boggling. Even with this article about giving the ball to Pau Gasol (I think 90% of NBA fans will recognize the mismatch), your subtle analysis of Pau's position before and after his post-work is something I would generally take for granted. Keep up the AMAZING work. The only complaint I have is that there's not enough updates to feed my appetite. But then again, if you were constantly analyzing you'd probably become hired as a scout!
