What would have Kobe's FG% in playoffs been...

[LEFT4DEAD]

if he played on the tough East throughout his career.
Year after year after year its more and more obvious where real D is played. Lets say that instead of Suns, Hornets, Jazz' weak ass D he had to go through Bulls, Pistons who humiliated him in 2004, Hawks, Celtics, Pacers and so on.
You can say whatever you want. You can say how is it tough to get a playoff spot on the West and stuff like that, but its very clear to me that the only place where D is being played is the East.
So my guess is no more than 38%FG.

Wouldn't of matter. If anything his percentage would have went up. East teams are weak and it would have benefit Kobe playing in the East because of the less travel.

And thats why whenever he played against East teams in the finals his FG% was no higher than 40% or smt like that? Hmmmm, 'k.

Wouldn't have**.
I know it is hard to understand for a kobe-stan but good D means lower FG% and low scoring.
East teams are bad because of lack of offense like chicago and sometimes pacers. 7 out of top 10 defensive teams are from east.

Those East teams he played against were regarded as one of the greatest defensive teams in history. Those east Finals team are not an indicator of the conference. The bottom half were quite garbage.

This is not a hate thread. Its a simple question.

No.

Kobe has been shatting on East coast teams for years.

17 years....that's a big sample size.

Must be hard for you to do everyday tasks like counting.

He is not saying whether kobe would win or not, he is simply stating that his fg% and scoring will be lower which seems like a good assumption.

[AintNoSunshine]

35ish? He'll still keep chucking that's for sure

So you are questioning Kobe's FG% based on this year's playoff teams from the East? When the man has shatted on a lot of teams from the east through his 17 year career.

Heck, Kobe didn't even play in the playoffs this year because of the tendon. Who knows...he always owned the Spurs. Could have shot 47% and this thread never exists.

Assumption?

He didn't even play in the playoffs this year. What are you comparing his percentages to?

I'm going to assume he does very well if he played in the east.

Bottom half were always garbage because of lack of offense on those teams. Lets take last three seasons as an example.

2010/11 - 11 out of the top 16 teams that allowed the least points to opponents are from east.

2011/12 - 10 of top 13 teams in allowed points to opponents are from east.

2012/2013 - 9 of top 14 from the east.

talking of "who knows?", who knows how many rings Lebron would have won if he played for lakers from day 1. May be 6 already with a great front office. See, i can do the "who knows" thing too.
I gave you facts and records for the season and you start with "who knows".
