Not playing to expectations is far different than sucking and being the reason you lost playoff matchups

I’m saying he was objectively the reason you lost games. Flat out. That’s it. That’s what I’m saying. I’m not talking about his perception. Or his expectations. Or how his name isn’t Kobe.

If he played to his expectations and he was seen as a solid player but not great then I don't think he is the reason we lost, nor do I think Bullock shooting like 43% was a reason he stinks either

I am not saying AI didn’t play to his expectations???????
Then why is he the reason we lost? He can't be seen as a decent player but be such a bad negative he's the actual reason we lost games without not living up to expectations

he did play to MY expectations

MY expectations were dogshit

AI played like dogshit

your expectations or perception or whatever the heck you are trying to say have no bearing as to why or how he was losing you playoff games

He just was
objectively

i don’t think you are even reading my posts
You brought up bullock playing toe to toe for him and I noted his %. If you know what you are getting with a player I don’t see how that’s why you lost. I never expected him to dominate it was supposed to be Kobe.

Magic in 05 when we lost also had baron shooting under 44% like bullock who was mentioned already. I am reading and responding to what you are saying you just aren’t acknowledging the point of my response.

Ai of course had issues and I think it was nets was his worst vs Harris but I never expected him to just dominate. He played his role pretty well, Kobe overall has been the bigger disappointment is my point. Plenty of examples of him going cold in those close series

my rebounding was bad because pollard and martin were my bigs... Obviously AI wasn't productive in rebounding which hurt but having better bigs would have solved it too that was just the tough part
