.. seems like Kobe saw writing on wall... and bailed on his team..

Either that or he is smart and saving his bullets for realistic games they have a chance to win. You have a lot of pent up hatred towards this team. I despise the lakers as a Jazz fan but you take the cake.

PS3 · 03-05-13, 10:06 PM

Yada yada yada yada.

R.P. McMurphy · 03-05-13, 10:08 PM

Omg Ratzz your hate is blinding! Kobe may very well be alot of things but a quitter/ p*ssy are not 2 of your options

PS3 · 03-05-13, 10:10 PM

What now Ratzz?????

TwoWays · 03-05-13, 10:14 PM

drinking that haterade. Don't mix Kobe up with Melo

Ratzz · 03-05-13, 10:21 PM

he created the 'built-in" excuse for the Loss...

watch after the game... "well, my arm this.. my arm that"

"i couldn't really extend, so i had to shoot with the left"

if they were up 10 pts when that happened...

zero. no injury.*

Guys, the Thunder do not want to see LA in the first round...

Ratzz · 03-05-13, 10:36 PM

the guy that i love the most is Magic Johnson...

"get outta the way OKC... the Lakers are comin'!!"

R.P. McMurphy · 03-05-13, 10:37 PM

Built in excuse? They are almost a DD dog, sukk on the road, playing one of the best teams in the nba at one of the toughest arenas to get a win. Not many people realistically think they win this game s/u regardless of Kobe's elbow.

TwoWays · 03-05-13, 10:41 PM

Kobe is an no-excuses player. Teammates better step up

PAULYPOKER · 03-05-13, 10:43 PM

Kobe is a POS

Tomasaurus · 03-05-13, 10:44 PM

Kobe with one arm dragging the lakers back

Ratzz · 03-05-13, 10:44 PM

but it works though.. he manufactures these injuries..
and then *goes into... "how can he do that when injured mode?"

i must say, as a psychological ploy to trick himself into playing extra good,
it does work,.. he always plays better injured.

This is because Kobe grew up watching and fantasizing about his Idol Jordan playing while being "injured for real"

Kobe is still that little kid, fantasizing, wishing he could be as great as Jordan,playing that daydream in real life.......

Kobe's career is all but over,the candle is dimming,about to flame out.....

LBJ is already better than Kobe ever was........

Prediction: if rest of team steps up and catch, or even passes the Thunder...
i would not be surprised if Kobe's arm magically got better,
so he can come in and steal the thunder for the win*

I hate Kobe with a passion but you my friend are a complete and utter moron.

If you're looking for someone with an excuse, look no further than Derek Fisher. What a tampon. Mooching off the Thunder because they a good team. Jumping ship from the Mavs cause they not a contender, pretending that he wanted to spend more time with his family.

Idiotic statement. You must be a noob to watching basketball. Kobe have FIVE championship rings , son. Count them FIVE to Lebron's meager 1. Kobe was much deadlier and money in the bank when the shots counted for at least 7 straight years.

Kobe arguably had an equal and maybe even better career than Jordan. So for you to compare LBJ to Bryant, you sir must be a total noob to basketball.

MP123 · 03-05-13, 11:16 PM

He's not a b*tch like u, u disappeared when the lakers were winning, now u magically reappeared cuz they're gettin their asses handed to em in OKC... U Ain't nothin but a hatin ass B*TCH!!!!!

This statement is absolutely*incorrect.
If you are going to join two independent clauses in a sentence; a semicolon is required.

thus…

"I hate Kobe with a passion; but you my friend are a complete and utter moron."

…would be the grammatically correct way to express this thought.

Let's try to keep the grammar and punctuation clean, folks...
kids are watching.

That is called an intelligent move...........

Name 1 player who would not give their left nut to be on a championship caliber team and I'll show you a fukkin pig that can fly like an eagle...

You are a dumb fukk,

A championship ring comes from TEAM effort........

If Kobe's entire career was with the bobcats , he would have ZERO rings..............

You would have banked on it, Dano..........

So Lebron hasnt been surrounded with talent for the last several years??? Again, your reasoning is equally idiotic as your picks. Lebron has been surrounded with possibly the best talent in the NBA in Wade for several years now. Why does he only have one ring????

It's because he cant make the big shots during the big games and carry his team like Kobe's been doing for over decade straight.

Ratzz · 03-05-13, 11:54 PM

lol... anybody see Kobe wincing on the bench?

"damn dood, the Lakers DO NOT have TIME for your elbow to get better"

if Mamba does not get in there, and turn this around..
he's not really committed to winning.

Did you not see the finals last year? Who was the finals MVP? Whose been MVP this, and many other regular seasons?

That one series against Dallas seemed to have changed LBJ into a different animal. Its not the same person anymore.

Right and that's ONE final. Try repeating that for four more finals ...then he can be mentioned in the same breath as Kobe.

Ratzz · 03-06-13, 12:15 AM

but why is Kobe bricking shots.. and letting people shot-block him..?!

i thought he was the black wamba

Kobe's undoubtedly lost a step. But hell, he's 35 years old.

Let's see what LeBron's doing at 35.

Kobe turns the ball over... with a stupid spin move.... 1:32 left
IMMEDIATELY grabs the arm...

it's a riot...

please everyone.. listen to the post game...

"well, my arm this.. my arm that"

"i couldn't really extend, so i had to shoot with the left"

it's so predictable

Yeah obv its just one...but i was referring to your point about 'he can't carry his team'. Probably the only guy in the league who CAN carry his team considering he can do literally every aspect of the game and is the best at it.

Also he's only getting better, so yeah I think he will be mentioned in the same breath. Give it time.
