these basically are post season games for the lakers

:bowdown:

[K]

Against the Hornets. It shouldn't have been close to begin with. Every now and then Kobe gets hot. Most of the time though Kobe just hurts his team with his shooting parties in 4th quarters. I don't get why Americans glorify such non team play. It's not good in the long run.

[Legends66NBA7]

This is simply not true, as most all-time greats get judged by both regular season and playoffs, including Bryant.

I didnt see the game, who did they play? Thunder? Heat? Spurs?

For it to be signature doesn't it have to be more than every now and then against fodder teams in the regular season?

[WayOfWade]

Huge win, especially considering the Jazz blew it tonight. Lakers are in the Driver's seat again.

[nathanjizzle]

It is funny that kobe's statline for tonight is literally an average game from lbj.

lbj never scored 24 points in the 4th quarter the last 2 seasons. deal wit it.

[The Real JW]

24 in one quarter? how many shots?

[DonDadda59]

Is it just my imagination or does this happen every time the Lakers struggle mightily against the terrible Pelicans? :oldlol:

It's like Deja Vu.

[KembaWalker]

It is funny that kobe's statline for tonight is literally an average game from lbj.

:no: LeBron isn't that clutch

[K]

lbj never scored 24 points in the 4th quarter the last 2 seasons. deal wit it.

He gets it done before more often. And if he doesn't he's more of a team player in the 4th quarter which gives his teams higher chances of success rather than just him putting up shots. It's not a good strategy for teams in the long run. It makes for highlights but it's not good.

[tazb]

Carried by Gasol (not the first time:lol) throughout the whole game and he played hero-ball in the fourth when he didn't have to, but of course, he has to.

LeBron doesn't have his best games of his career in the regular season. LeBron's 45 point game @ Boston last year >>> Kobe's playoff career.

24 in one quarter? how many shots?

IIRC, 7-11.

[All Net]

One of your few threads that deserve to stay...

[miller-time]

It'd be better if he played consistently throughout the whole game rather than having a lopsided performance. Relying on a 4th quarter dominance to bail out a team from losing a game against one of the worst teams in the league is not something to be excited about. Come playoff time this kind of performance won't cut it.

[The-Legend-24]

[WayOfWade]

Luckily for the team it worked this time. And Pau Gasol deserves a lot more credit for the championship runs.

I swear, the same exact thing happened last 2 times the Lakers played the Pelicans- they struggled early (getting blown out by 20+ last time) then the Pelicans, being the bottom feeding scrubs they are inevitably blew the lead and the stans went crazy praising Bean and declaring the Lakers real season was beginning... then the Lakers got c*ck-slapped by real teams.

And wouldn't you know it... look who's next for LA. Should be a fun end to the season :cheers:

I don't think people are mad at Kobe. They are mad at his fans for acting like this is somehow performance for the ages. As if putting in a dominant performance during the last minutes of a game against the second worst team in the conference is somehow an achievement.

[Lebron Flocka J]

Good job kobe.

This thread is just sad. Why even evoke Lebron's name at this point? The gap between Bean and Bron right now is Grand Canyon wide. One is working on a historically great season and a 4th MVP while the other is getting praised by his stans for doing what Carmelo did in much more impressive fashion just a few hrs earlier... against the Pelicans... in a desperate attempt to get the 8th seed for a team that was a preseason favorite to win it all.

Stop embarrassing yourselves. Especially since dumb threads like this and the stans gloating will just add more fuel to the crow feast in about a week when they're bumped :oldlol:

[6 for 24]

Friends of ISH:

Now, how do you say it, "that is what I am talking about!"

I was very lucky to have the opportunity to watch this contest between the two best teams in the National Basketball League. As expected, it was very competitive. Yet when the final period came, I had no fear. For I knew that my team (which is the Los Angeles Lakers) were led by the greatest player in the association, and that he would never let us observers down.

My mate, Tafari, was not so confident. Said he, "We need to get the ball to the tall oak Pau Gasol. The wasps have no answer for him."

I raised my hand in a threatening gesture and replied, harshly, "Have you not heard of the Black Mamba?" (I knew he had, for they are actually quite a common nuisance in our village, but that is a story for another day). "He shall come through for us".

And indeed, Kobe "the Black Mamba" Bryant, did just that. Shot after shot in this, the most important game of the season against arguably the best team in the league (which was on a winning streak themselves). Surely, Pau Gasol did not touch the ball and I was fine with that.. I did not walk fourteen miles to the only television in the town to watch Pau Gasol.

Championship #6 is coming for #24 and there's nothing any of you haters can do about it. That is right, I said it.

[Indian guy]

I was impressed. He had played like absolute ass prior to the 4th qtr, which was inexcusable in itself against the league's 3rd worst defense, but it takes quite a bit of courage and mental toughness to completely turn that around in the 4th qtr, all in your most important game of the season and in a close contest to boot. He came out gunning right off the bat in the 4th. That's fearlessness. You can only imagine the sh!t he would've been receiving had he been cold in the 4th and LA lost....which would've put them well on pace for the most humiliating season in American sport history. From a legit contender to not even making the playoffs in a league where 16 teams make it? That's unfreakingprecedented. Kobe's short-term legacy(at least among harcore basketball fans on the net) would've been a joke. It still could be, but at least they are the 8th seed for now with 3 out of their next 4 @ home.

So there was a lot on the line Kobe for in that 4th qtr. Give credit.

It's amazing what Kobe does to you people :lol:

Anyway - despite it not being a great game, I think today is an exemplar of what Kobe and most Laker fans hoped the season would be. The Bigs dominating like they should early on and Kobe bringing it home.

When you think about how easy it can and should be for this team it's frustrating watching them simply not execute...or worse yet...not want to execute. Kobe had to almost completely take himself out of the game for the bigs to develop an offensive rhythm and that isn't healthy. That should come naturally.

They need to get rid of Dantoni before he wears Kobe into the ground like he did amare. The dude cares nothing for players health just saving his own ass.
