Not looking good for Kobe or his fans: beat GSW without Kobe

[Human Error]

Hey Kobe fans now what are your excuses? This is your chance to tell me how it was just a fluke meanigless regular season game or how Kobe actually helped the team win with his intangibles!

Too bad we lost, but I'm relishing how badly Kobe got exposed. Utter trash this season.

It's time for Kobe to be benched.

-21 point difference when Kobe not playing.


-12 when he's on the floor. +9 when he's on the bench.

What else is there to type?

Sounds like the Lakers players are turning against Kobe.

And they only beat us by 10 points


Confirmed Warriors win if Kobe played

[6 for 24]

There are a lot of "Kobe haters" in here. Let's try to be objective and look at this mathematically, to remove the bias.

Everyone on the Lakers played well tonight relative to their typical game. For example, if we look at the +/- results of the starters compared to their norms, we have:

Price: -2.3 to +11 = +13.3 NET
Johnson: -7.0 to +14 = +21.0 NET
Hill: -7.9 to to -1.0 = +6.9 NET
Davis: -2.4 to to +3.0 = +5.4 NET
Bryant: -9.4 to 0.0 = +9.4 NET

So while Price and Johnson had spectacular games, we can see that Kobe had the next best game after that. I consider this a "win" as a Kobe stan, and I'm sure you criticizers will too once you look at the math instead of relying on your blind hatred.
