And Lakers bench could have made shots and won the game. Too bad it didn't happen.

Big difference.

He's unlucky he started cold. He could have easily been 17/29. Those are the types of shots Kobe takes.

It's whatever; he dropped 34 on 28 FGA. That's a good ratio.

Kobe fans clearly don't understand what 'getting teammates involved' means.

Kobe does pass the ball, but it's after he's ran their offense to the floor. I can guarantee that if somebody like Lin joins the Lakers their offense becomes better instantly.

Kobe's insistence on taking every shot and challenging double and triple teams, freezes out the other players and takes away any possible rhythm. So even if they get wide open shots, they come out of the game's flow.

The thing is, when Kobe 'wants' to be a playmaker he's brilliant at it!

The offensive flow is moving because everybody is not just getting touches, but the 'right' kind of touches in the 'right' time and 'right' place. But even during these games, those are just 'moments' for Kobe as he seems to get away from team ball and back to KoME ball. At times it works, at times it doesn't, but why escape it when it's working?

Even tho Kobe was hitting some nice shots in the 2nd half, it was a horrible game to watch, and a horrible selfish exhibition by Kobe.

Thus the Kobe paradox.....

People look too much into FG attempts sometimes. When he was 1/11 a lot of those shots were ones that he can usually knock down in his sleep.

Then he went 10/18 for the rest of the game. Hell, he was taking most of his crazy "Kobe shots" during that stretch

Kobe and Lin share the same birthday, just Lin was born 10 years later

After this game? Dont know about that.

It might have dropped to 44%. Big whoop.

44% is low for even Kobe standards. All those minutes Brown was playing him seems to be taking its toll and as a result, he's been struggling down the stretch of these games.

I'm sure you Kobe fans are already aware of this.

youre a moron. I guarantee you dont say ****ing shit to credit kobe when bynum doesnt miss layups and instead of 1-8 is 7-8, and instead of fisher being 0-1903902184 or whatever he was he makes shots and artest makes his shots... I bet kobe gets no credit. What if everyone made shots when kobe passed to them and he had 12 assists tonight? Still bad facilitator? You're being an idiot. By this measure I can go and say every time lebron has 10 assists and loses he didn't make the "RIGHT" passes. INfuriating.

Look at this garbage, instead of something tangible and measurable you have created the word "right" in quotations. Give up.

Blaming Kobe on a game like THIS is idiotic. The team wasn't performing. Bynum was getting shutdown and everyone else couldn't make a shot to save their lives. This thread is a joke.
