kobe comments on his game last night

[QUOTE=FourthTenor]Excuse excuse excuse. Three years and no "winning" (thought he was such a winner?) until Fisher, Ariza, Gasol show up and Bynum breaks out and theyve got the leagues best frontcourt. Then start winning playoffs while Kobe chucks, and u think its the actual chucking thats doing it.

A stan will be a stan.[/QUOTE]
Bynum had no role in their first two Finals runs. Fisher is the worst starting PG on a championship team in 20 years. Gasol averaged the same stats David West did when he played with CP3 in 2009 when LA won the chip.

:oldlol:

[QUOTE=RazorBaLade]dont all superstars teams win more games when they shoot any sizable amount less?[/QUOTE]

The other dude says espn claims it bout numerous players but ive only ever heard it mentioned bout kobe, dating back to those days with his lesser casts. If someone has stats for others id be curious to see but lets be honest, theyre prob nowhere near as dramatic as kobes. The dude is just trigger happy no matter what. Bad teammate excuse doesnt fly when hes proven hell do it with any teammates. Shaq or Bynum/Gasol. He throws away his teams chances many nights bc he wants all the shots and all the adoration.

So 3 straight knockouts then 3 straight finals with a new cast, but it wasnt the new cast that was the difference? It was.... Kobe?

[QUOTE=Optimus Prime]Kobe's attitude is just the attitude you want to see from THE MAN on your team. He's a competitor. He's also a jerk and extremely confident in himself. He has to be...it comes with the territory of being the alpha dog on a high profile team. Guess what...Jordan was the same way!

Unfortunately, Kobe seems like the last of a dying breed of NBA player who just wants to win every game he plays and destroy the competition. It'll be a sad day when Kobe Bryant retires from the NBA, because [B]we're gonna be left with nothing but a bunch of SuperFriends hugging it out[/B]. :([/QUOTE]

Good post. I think Derrick Rose has the same drive as Kobe.

[quote=Fourth Tenor]Lebron, Wade, Howard, CP3 have all led a team with insignificant supporting casts to at least one playoff victory by being great all aroun players.

Kobes ability to score taking lots of shots never did that. The three years he played without stacked teams resulted in first round punkings. Hes not a leader, not a team player, and wouldnt be a winner if he werent spoiled by such a great franchise.

All things equal i take bron, wade, howard, cp3 and obviously shaq and duncan ahead of kobe in their primes.[/quote]

It was the cast.. just like it was the cast for MJ when he got Pippen and Grant.. or when Lebron got Dwade and Bosh.. or when KG got Allen and Pierce.

When you go from playing with shit teammates to very good ones, your teams tend to do better. I really dont see your point. Who has won without good teammates besides maybe 2-3 guys in the history of the game? Is Pau Gasol better than Wade? Pippen? Pierce? Allen?

Kobe is done. He will make the first round of the playoffs, lose, then blame his team. At least he has more rings than Shaq and Duncan, the two best players since MJ/KAJ. Nobody cares if he won three as the sidekick. Nobody cares that he won one because of Pau. No biggy at all.

idk, itd make more sense to me that when a superstar takes 5+ shots less than his average the team more than likely wins because it would mean the bench played well, the superstar played less due to his teammates doing well and stuff like that. no matter who it is.

but maybe its most dramatic for kobe idk.

Notice how he has Chris Paul as his avatar, but mentions Paul LAST on his list, while mentioning Lebron....FIRST?:lol

The idiot is OBVIOUSLY a bandwagon Lebron fan who doesn't have the balls to admit it, hence the IRRATIONAL Kobe hate:facepalm

[QUOTE=BGriffin's Dad]agree with him about taking shots on good looks.

the thing is that not all of his shots yesterday were on good looks.[/QUOTE]

Most of them were good looks plus.. Fisher blamed L.A's stagnant offense at times and said "We put Kobe in bad situations today, a lot of times he had to shoot just to hit the rim". Ur hurtin ur team if ur passin up open shots. Definetely his fault they lost the game but he needs to take open shots.

I really wish this game would have been on tnt....

Kobe is balling like he's in the finals.:violin:

One of the worst games ive ever seen him play...

Not just the horrible chucking, but the stupid turnovers and not giving a shit attitude.... Lakers were in it untill he fu*ked up badly late in the 4th... If your shot is off, why lauch contested 3s???:facepalm

[QUOTE=therammingman]More

"We always start inside-out," Bryant said, when asked about Bynum and Pau Gasol's effectiveness on offense. "If you mean (to ask me) if I'm going to shoot less, the answer is no. It starts with me. I do what I do and we play off of that. That's not going to change."

Why not end the game inside-out when it's working for 3 quarters????[/QUOTE]
I feel bad for poor bynum

[QUOTE=therammingman]Quote: janis carr: Kobe said he has no plans to stop shooting. Will figure out how to play with his wrist instead.
