Kobe went off tonight

[Caleb Cattivera]

62 points 8 boards 3 steals

wow.

[itsjdiggity]

i looked at the box score and yelled out a loud holler

[somethingyellow]

you know who else did....the phoenix suns over the sonics hahaha for itsjdiggity
fuck though, most impressive only 31 shots taken and 22-25 from the line

[itsjdiggity]

he's laughin, he's having a good time, laugh it up, hahaha

it's funny how no one else is in double figures

[Broken Parachute]

I thought I read those numbers wrong.

[somethingyellow]

ive never seen a team score so many points 112, and only have 1 player in double digits

[weezer182]

very impressive

[itsjdiggity]

he had no assists either

[weezer182]

dallas better be ashamed of themselves. how do you let one guy go for that many points when you are one of the best teams in the league?

[bigmike]

62 points 8 boards 3 steals

wow.

And no hope of playing in the postseason.

Good for him.

[Caleb Cattivera]

the lakers have been a totally different team this month. they're 9-3 in decemember and have been playing good basketball. kobe was just feelin it tonight i guess. kobe's been a little bit wiser with his shot selection as of late...last month he took more than 25 shots in 12 out of 13 games...where as this month he's only done it 4 out of 13. the lakers are finally coming around...they still have alot to do before they become a contender, mainly get rid of kwame brown...and get a legitimate pf...but i think the lakers will be in the playoffs this year.

[bigmike]

lighten up, it's not like they let Kwame go for 62. Kobe's no chump.

[itsjdiggity]

they should call it "The Darrell Armstrong Curse"

[Caleb Cattivera]

And no hope of playing in the postseason.

Good for him.

ahh but your wrong.

as of now they're a seventh seed. they've beat the mavericks twice this month...and are playing impressive basketball...remember who's coaching them. he wont settle for just medicore...and the lakers have been a great team in the month of december.

[itsjdiggity]

still can't believe they gave up shaq for basically lamar odom, kwame brown, and laron profit (george lynch)

[bigmike]

talk to me at the end of the season.

i still don't think there's enough inside game, or other players on that team to get them to the postseason. I mean, i know they've got that killer inside tandem of Bynum and Kwame and all, but I don't see it happening.

Maybe Kobe can will them into the 7th or 8th seed, but i'm skeptical. In all seriousness, are Mihm or Bryan Cook good enough big men to get them enough inside game to help Kobe out?

[itsjdiggity]

Bynum, Kwame, Mihm, and Cook are most intimidating frontline of all time.

[weezer182]

lighten up, it's not like they let Kwame go for 62. Kobe's no chump.thats the problem did you see the box score? no one scored in double figures other then him. why wouldnt you let someone else on that team other then kobe beat you. i didnt see the game but everytime he touched the ball he should of been double teamed.

[Caleb Cattivera]

the lakers will make a move by febuary and bring someone in.

mike you cant ignore how well they've played in december...phil's got this team in check, and your blind if you dont see that.

[itsjdiggity]

who was guarding him?

they should've put marquis daniels on him...that ***** looks scary as all hell

[Caleb Cattivera]

the funny thing about all of this...he didnt even play in the fourth quarter. 15 in the first, 17 in the second, and a franchise record of 30 in the third. avery johnson said before the game he'd give everyone a try at guarding kobe...everyone failed.

[itsjdiggity]

Dallas will call the Pacers tonight

[weezer182]

[still_life]

That was a terrific performance.

Making the playoffs in the NBA doesn't look too hard, they'll be there.

[bigmike]

mike you cant ignore how well they've played in december...phil's got this team in check, and your blind if you dont see that.

I never said they weren't having a good december.
Fuck, the Hawks, by all Atlanta Hawk standards are having a good december.

I just like to hate on the lakers. And I'm glad to make fun of them instead of having them shoved down my throat as "the best fucking team ever" when they were in their run of titles with phil at the helm.

and still, who would they be offering in a trade that would look attractive to anyone else in the league?

[Caleb Cattivera]

which is weird cause avery is a good defensive coach. his 0 assist tells the story. they should of made him pass with double and triple teams

yeah, but when a player is on fire...he's on fire...and kobe was simply on fire tonight. shot 58% from the field tonight. when a player is shooting lights out like kobe was tonight...there's no need for him to pass. i wouldnt have either.

lamar odom, andrew bynum, devean george, kwame, smush.

im a huge hawks fan, and you know that...but the hawks and the lakers are two totally different teams. everyone was giving the warriors praise...and they have the same record as the lakers.

[bigmike]

how is kwame still an attractive piece of trade bait?

the rest I can't argue with.
Like i said, i just hate the lakers.

[Caleb Cattivera]

some gms still think kwames going to be good one day. but if they can trade him, do it. why do you hate the lakers?

[Caleb Cattivera]

OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.

im dumb.

[bigmike]

some gms still think kwames going to be good one day...i dont see it...but if they can trade him, do it. why do you hate the lakers?

Too much lakers back when they were good.
Much like I hate the Yankees and Red Sox because they're basically the only two teams that are on national tv for the first 5 months of baseball season.

[weezer182]

OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.

im dumb.haha oh well dallas will learn from this

[bigmike]

you would pass if you were double and triple teamed all night. i wasnt getting on kobes case for having no assist i was getting on dallas's case for not making him pass

Um, no.

[somethingyellow]

Um, no.
haha i would hate to play on your team then

[Caleb Cattivera]

also...when you have an assist...there's two parts to it...passing the ball...and the other person making the shot...he may've had a few...you never know.

[somethingyellow]

also...when you have an assist...there's two parts to it...passing the ball...and the other person making the shot...he may've had a few...you never know.
true, most games though when kobe scores big and has no assists id bet on the lakers losing, tonight he just scored beyond big

[Drew Beringer]

God I hate Kobe, but that is one hell of a game.

[itsjdiggity]

i also fucking hate the lakers...i hate everyone here in la...lakers fans started to go to clipper games and now that the lakers are doing good again, they'll switch...la fans suck...take me out of this shit hole

[Scott Weber]

...and 0 assists. Fuck Kobe. He's so selfish, not just today, but whenever. I love when he scores 28 and you're like wow, he had a great night, then you look at the box score and he went like 9 for 32 from the field.

[Caleb Cattivera]

i know you hate kobe...and i do too...but he made passes tonight, the other just didnt connect...it's not entirely his fault.

ive seen a different kobe the last month or so. he's not being the selfish fuck he usually is. his shot count is down...and his fg% is up.

i still hate him too. but im not going to deny he's one of the best players in the nba.

[Spicoli hey bud]

Didn't he not even play the 4th quarter?

[Caleb Cattivera]

Didn't he not even play the 4th quarter?

nope

not one second.

[Talib Scottie]

thats the problem did you see the box score? no one scored in double figures other then him. why wouldnt you let someone else on that team other then kobe beat you. i didnt see the game but everytime he touched the ball he should of been double teamed.
I think they tried to at one point. Kobe's good at splitting defenders.

[Talib Scottie]

Also, .440 from the field is not entirely horrible when you're the only real scoring threat. Lamar Odom is not a bad player, I thought he would have been a better player then this, but he's nothing to concern yourself with.

[weezer182]

Um, no.so you think he could score a lot if he was double and triple teamed all night????its a simple thing when your playing the lakers, make someone else beat you other then kobe

[last light]

loved it, sorry im a die-hard laker fan and i was there last night :D

[itsjdiggity]

loved it, sorry im a die-hard laker fan and i was there last night :D

die hard then laker fan

;)

with a vengance

[bigmike]

so you think he could score a lot if he was double and triple teamed all night????its a simple thing when your playing the lakers, make someone else beat you other then kobe

no, i was just saying that I, personally, wouldn't pass if i was Kobe.

[Scott Weber]

loved it, sorry im a die-hard laker fan and i was there last night :D
that explains a lot
