how many PPG for Kobe this year with Gasol gone?

[dubeta]

Kobe is a 25 ppg scorer at 45%, that is kobe at his best

as the points go up, the fg% goes down and vice versa

So if he averages 30 he would shoot 35% and if he averages 17 he could shoot 50%

[Jameerthefear]

17/4/3 on 41%

[KingPush]

17/4/3 on 41%

this. Nick Young has a better season than him tbh

lol kobe takes tough shots whether he takes 20 shots or 30 shots.

his looks wont change. in reality the more he shoots the more rhythm he will have cause hes a streak shooter when hes hot

so i say he hovers around 44-45% no matter what he decides

its not like his 27ppg a year ago before the achilles injury was off good looks or easy opportunities... hes a natural playstation scorer

his pump fakes and footwork never fail him when hes healthy

[Nash]

39 points on 21%

bout 350

Gonna be interesting with Kobe and Nick Young on the court. Double Shaqtin' A Fool moments opportunities from 1 game? Maybe I'll watch a lakers game here and there.

Also: Probably 25 PPG on 36 percent shooting.

So he will be the same at the age of 36 after 2 years of age and 2 huge injuries?

Any kobe stan expecting more than 18-19 points on 40% shooting is going to be severely let down

[zoom17]

when are the lakers getting a coach though?

[ArbitraryWater]

this... but he could average 35ppg if he wanted

On what percentage?

Ironically for now, Kobe and Lebron have switch situations.

Kobe was the one on a team filled with skilled players surrounding him he could feed off of. While I don't buy into Lebron had NO help period, he had a lot of good roleplayers but no one he could feed off of in Cleveland.

Fast forward and Lebron has a really great team surrounding him in Cleveland while Kobe has nothing more than good roleplayers. The difference and the problem is that Kobe is inching closer towards retirement. Kobe is Kobe and he's going to try to do EVERYTHING for this team without a lot of help. Virtually, we're potentially going to get 2006 Kobe attempting to be that guy in 2014.

Kobe is 20ppg in his sleep.

22 6 5 on 47%

[longtime lurker]

I Kobe plays 35 minutes a game they'll be holding him a funeral by allstar break.

[Calabis]

35?

38?

assuming he plays 35 minutes+

35?



38?



Kobe playing 35 min plus a night???

He'll either start the season like shit and everyone will bump this thread. Then he'll improve and finish on ~25PPG @ 44%. Griff will then bump at the end saying "I told you so, don't doubt GAWDbe etc" and everyone else says "whatever, no playoffs"

Or, he'll start the season well, Griff will bump the thread saying the above. He'll then have a slump and finish on ~20PPG on 40%. Everyone will bump saying "I told you so, he's done etc" and Griff will have a meltdown.

And Griff, you can't be serious saying Kobe can average 35 now. He's only averaged 30 or above 3 times in his career, and he last did that about 8 years ago. He'll be lucky to be in the top 10 scorers, even with the Lakers festering in irrelevancy.
