OFFICIAL Kobe Bryant Thread

[FKAri]

keep it one thread

my opinion:

I'm not gonna hate on Kobe for tonight. It wasn't like early in the season where he was seemingly purposely taking bad shots. This game he has some bad shots but it seemed he was trying to get some momentum going. Russell defers so damn much to Kobe. I hate that.

Time to retire. Thanks for the amazing 20 years of entertainment, Kobe.

This is the only way Kobe knows how to play. Kobe's minutes should be limited. But Byron doesn't want to get yelled at.

This is it for kobe. He should just take role player minutes till he hangs them up.

I love how he`s blaming the team for his 1-14

Not even Bryant's methodical, prolonged warm-up could help the 37-year-old break out of a season-long slump.

"Man, it's cold in here," he said to no one in particular three hours before tipoff, making his way around the court and shooting from seemingly every angle.

He missed his first five shots in the game, including two air-balled three-point attempts at Oracle Arena. Cold, indeed.

Then he missed his next eight shots after making a three-pointer.

He did not play in the fourth quarter. The Lakers trailed by 34 after three.

Bryant said his off night had to do with the team's overall play — blown defensive coverages, unnamed players not running the offense, etc. Byron Scott gives an edge to his '80s Lakers over current Warriors Byron Scott gives an edge to his '80s Lakers over current Warriors

"I'm just kind of frustrated with what we were doing," Bryant said. "It bothered me so I got out of my Zen tonight."...

A couple of days before the game, Bryant left open the possibility of an upset against Golden State.

I'm not even kidding when I say that he probably went too hard in the warm up and was too tired for the game.

unnamed players not running the offense

Probably talking about Russell. He just seems to give Kobe the ball and move out of the way.
