Rough night for Kobe

[JT123]

19 points on 35%, and then to add insult to injury gets PUNKED by Dwight! :facepalm
Are Kobe's best days truly behind him? Seeing Howard laugh in Kobe's grill as Kobe was trying to act tough was painful to watch.

[RRR3]

I give this thread 2 out of 5 stars.

[dubeta]

Nah this is actually an above average game for Kobe

You have to keep things in perspective, this isnt LeBron who gets criticized for getting 28 ppg on 60% in the Finals, its only Kobe

[Keno]

howard straight up elbowed him and he took it like a bitch lmao.

Very true my brother. I guess we all have to lower our standards when it comes to Kobe.

Charles and Shaq just called Kobe a bitch for what he did. :lol :lol

[oh the horror]

While Kobe won't ever be the same player you do have to realize there is a degree of rust involved. Two injuries and it's been awhile since he played. It'll take a bit. Although he has some work ahead of him.

You suckle on the nuts of a player who was one Ray Allen miss from being 1/5 in the finals. Aren't your standards already rock bottom?

[dubeta]

Remember 6/24 is the standard for Kobe


Since he shot better than that, he had an above average performance

you have to respect that :applause:

[Prometheus]

Dude, Kobe loves basketball. He loves to compete. He's the epitome of a hardwood warrior.

Before tonight, he had played in only six games over an eighteen month span.

If I were him right now, I wouldn't care much that we lost by double digits or that my numbers weren't great. I would just be grateful to be playing ball again.

[ImKobe]

the whole team shot 35%, no one else could buy a shot so they doubled Kobe, he scored 16 points in the first half on 46% shooting, he hurt his stats by shooting some long jumpers in garbage time

Remember this is a best case scenario cause it was on James Harden


What do you think the stats will be against much more competent defenders (the rest of the league)

Harden was on Wes Johnson you stupid fk, Ariza was the one defending Kobe

You know theyre both Jameer right? He lives on here 24 hours a day between his multiple accounts, its sad:oldlol:

Spends his whole day watching Lakers game and talking about Kobe and the Lakers who he supposedly hates... Strange individual.

[Graviton]

It's the same person, people just need to stop responding to his threads...

Embarrassing.

Quite.
:lol

Think about what you just said there. Kobe sprained his ankle on a Trevor Ariza jab step.

That's even worse.

[orange_chicken]

Dude can you stop with the Kobe trolling? ....it's not gonna change the fact that he raped that white girl relative of yours.

conspiracy theories are not needed when you and your alt are always in the same threads and one of you is agreeing with the other and reply usually comes within seconds... so ****ing transparent and now everyone's laughing at you

It's basketball, Kobe slipped on that play... Ariza had a great game and Kobe is just coming back from injury...don't expect him to look that great the first dozen of games or so, and Ariza's offense is better than people give him credit for.

[AirFederer]

FG% worse than I thought.

I predict 39%, not 35% :eek:

[ronnymac]

To be fair he was guarded by a lockdown defender like Trevor Ariza and he had no help. We could zero on him on defense because his atrocious
supporting cast.

[Mr Feeny]

FG% worse than I thought.

Yup. He looked rought tonight. 3 second half points. Blown out at home. Torched by Harden who and stuffed by Dwight.

Just awful.

[tomtucker]

Charles and Shaq just called Kobe a bitch for what he did. :lol :lol

so what should kobe have done ?

[R.I.P.]

If you adjust for the conference the Lakers are basically Philly from last year. They have like 4-5 legit NBA players. Then they have 2-3 borderliners and the rest should play in the D-League.

[Mr Feeny]

so what should kobe have done ?

Err.....stop retreating, hiding behind five guys, and THEN talking trash?:confusedshrug:

[ImKobe]

Yup. He looked rought tonight. 3 second half points. Blown out at home. Torched by Harden who and stuffed by Dwight.

Just awful.

He was 6-13 in the first half for 16 points and only played a total of 10 minutes in the 2nd half, where in the majority of the time he was used as a decoy, he was on the bench as the Rockets went on a huge run... Harden had only like two threes on him and got basically half of his points from the line... But that's called torching nowadays...Harden only defended him once in isolation in the 2nd half, where his fadeaway rimmed out. Ariza was the main defender on him in the 2nd half and Kobe faced double teams every time he got the ball in the post, except for a couple isolation plays and late-shotclock bail-out jumpers when the offense couldn't move the ball.

But I wouldn't expect a B-level troll to know anything about the game or actually watch games.

I guess I should be flattered by the high standards his haters hold him to at the age of 36, he should be dropping 30+ every game and on above 50% shooting.

Kobe's done, but he doesn't belong in the D-League.

[secund2nun]

Typical pathetic kobe. No big man to carry him now. Most overrated athlete of all time

In other words, he had 3 second half points:wtf:

a total of 19 points on customary sub 40% shooting and getting shots drilled in his face as his team gets massacred at home:applause:

[SexSymbol]

How did ISH's trolling level get so bad nowadays?
I mean it gets worse every hour basically, step up, it's just embarrasing.
We expect shitty trolling from dubeta and JT123, but all of you other guys at least try

They are so bad at it, too. Like, it's so obvious what they're trying to do and they get exposed at every thread, then the bitch nikkas use alts to agree with their shit takes. They have 0 ounce of basketball IQ and are fooling no one but themselves.

He was the only one that could score a basket in the first half and kept it close enough for them to make a run in the 2nd half. Then they use him as a decoy in the 3rd quarter because he's attracting double teams, Lin and Boozer get in a groove and we come within a few possessions. Kobe gets subbed out and all of a sudden it's a 20+ point deficit in the 4th quarter, he plays some minutes, takes a couple jumpers and misses them, gets subbed after the scuffle with Dwight.

That's what really happened you bitch ass nikka.

Oooh 6/17 + getting blown out by Howard and Co.
Stay salty nizca :roll:

Yeah but as the games go on he'll start to wear down at his age. The beginning of the year should be when he shines.

[HurricaneKid]

Why do people keep saying he was getting doubled? He wasn't getting doubled. The Rockets were perfectly content allowing him to shoot 22 foot fallaway Js. He probably only got ~4-5 good shots all night.

Most people consider me a Kobe hater. But I felt bad for him last night. He has no team around him. He has completely lost his physical edge. And he is simply not going to be able to handle the nightly beatings they are in for. Phil spoke YEARS ago about how hard it was going to be for Kobe when he got old. And we are seeing it now.

Right now the Lakers are comfortably the second worst team in the NBA and the only asset in the entire franchise broke his leg.

I hope it was just early season rust. Its no fun to root against cripples.

What the hell are you talking about? He got doubles constantly... Rockets defense was focused on shutting Kobe out in the 2nd half. He made some plays out of double teams (one notable being the cross-court pass to Ronnie Price for 3 through a double team), he hit a tough shot over a double team in the first half, when he drove to the rim, he had 2-3 guys on him ready to block his shot, he was effective in the first half in getting to the line twice, had one transition bucket off a drive that Howard goaltended.

Problem was that we had horrible spacing in that game. Paint was crowded and all the defense was giving us were shots from mid range. I hope Byron adapts and we start shooting more threes, because we're not getting good looks inside and we're not getting to the line nearly as much as we should, 3pt shot opens the floor up for us.

It's only one game, but throughout the pre-season I've noticed how allergic this team is to shooting 3s, which is not good at all in today's NBA.

Can't believe I'm saying this but I miss MDA. At least we had something going on offense, right now the team looks lost out there. And it doesn't help that we're playing in Phoenix, they practically play the same way and are deep in PGs, might be in for another long night defensively. Then Clippers come next, then Golden State. This team could be 0 - 4 to start the season, if they fail to adjust or if Kobe doesn't go off for 30+ every night.
