    Kobe was a great defender. But wasn't a lockdown defender.

    Do you consider first team all defense lock down defenders

    I considered players like Rodman, Pippen, and Leonard lockdown defender

    LBJ got mutiple first team all defense but he don't lockdown the opposing every game.

    sad!!

    And it was quiet in this ? smh

    You must be blind then

    It wasn't the same as when y'all go in on Russ when you miss 25 shots you have to do other things to help your team win ? just shrugged this off as a bad shooting night

    word

    lets just pretend durant got no criticism and those hundred posts of durant being soft and not as good as "alpha russ" arent there.

    U know the difference tho. Durant gets passes while Russ gets criticized every time they lose. Let Russ shoot 7 for 32 all the NBA shows will say he shoots too much. They will not criticize Durant the same

    look at how often russ shoots them out of games or turns over the ball to oblivion compared to durant. it aint durant getting a pass as much as it is him not doin that ? as much as russ wild ass. how do yall possibly not see this?!

    I must of missed Russ great game tonight ?

    Meanwhile Dallas PGs got busy tonight while Russ was stealing rebounds from his bigs

    Russ got a pass tonight cause KD played awful, why y'all want the spotlight on him

    You can literally point to 5 big ? ups Russ make night after night...be cool...KD was awful, Russ wasn't good

    I feel you but if a ? plays 20 years and 9 times makes first team all defense he at some point was a lock down defender IMO

    Russ helps the team so much. He puts pressure on the bigs that gets Ibaka open shots.

    He plays hard defense and attacks the board. He never sulks.

    KD needs to do all the time and not just sometimes. He needs to attack the rim instead of jumpshots. He should be in the high post more often.

    He's a good defender. He's not CP3 but he's also not Curry

    Nah

    That's one of their issues, they don't involve Serge enough...nobody, but who's the PG

    Don't get Roberson engaged enough so they end up playing 4 on 5

    Don't ? feed Kanter when they struggling or the game slow down...but again who's job is that

    lol I could go on...For every 3 good plays he make, he ? up...that's why KD would be better with a CP3, he know how to control the pace

    Donovan need to stop staggering Russ and KD minutes the way he is too, it's predictable ...let the other ? play and use Ibaka while they both sit...the bench was playing much better before he started doing that ?

    We all know Bruce Bowen and Shane Battier should of gotten every one of them first team votes. That was straight politics.

    Houston will trade Harden someday soon. It's a wrap for Howard's game all together!!! No passion or fight in his game anymore. Bickerstaff will not return also.

    Kobe was a great, but overrated defender. He gambled a lot on defense. Sometimes it paid off, sometimes it didnt.

    I beg to differ Kobe always took the challenge on opposing guard during his #8 years. Plus he would put number on the board.
