the Lakers: (games with Kobe) will go sub-(.500) for the entire season

[Ratzz]

if we tally all the games where Kobe plays at least 20 minutes

i GUARANTEE*that the Lakers will be Under .500 for those games.

there is simply no way they can overcome the distraction of *his presence,*
ball-handling, and shot selection.

Previous to Kobe's much anticipated return, the Lakers were 1 game over (.500)*
winning 6 of 8 games going into the Toronto fiasco..
where the "Kobe Effect" was witnessed for the first time this season.

we should all expect*PLENTY*more of that.

The basic condition is that Kobe must be on the floor for 20 minutes
to qualify for record keeping.

I will track the results, and post a running record following every game.

cheers, ®

why do you use asterisk*?

i don't.. it just happens automatically when i hit the space bar..

it started happening (on this site only) after i gave my keyboard a rigorous cleaning..

something got pressed... i don't know.. but they mean nothing,

Have a feeling this thread is gonna be bumped quite a bit this season.

If the lakers go under .500 it will be bumped multiple x's a day by Rat boy. If they are over .500 he will disappear & not respond.

Same thing he did last yr when he made the moronic guarantee thread that Kobe would shoot under 43%....

lol.. Mens and myself will tag-team this i suppose.. the only reason they were above .500 last year
was Dwight's rebounding.. all the Kobe-tards continuously point to Kobe's 27 PPG last year as though that were 'in addition to' all the other scoring..

but what they continuously fail to understand is that it costs them 40 pts to generate KObe's 27 pts/.. other players stop playing.. are no longer part of the game.. keep in mind that last year, the Lakers highest winning Percentage was whwn Kobe scored under 20 pts.

when he scored over 20 , winning % went down, and when he scored over 25, it plummeted,
Dwight and Earl Clark are not there to take the ball out of Kobe's hands.

Kobe chased them all away.. thew Lakers are doomed.

Kobe is living in a dictatorship... everywhere posters of him.. nobody daring to tell him the truth, but everybody unhappy.. *

An Orwellian Nightmare if there ever was one....and this magnificent Kobe everyone speaks about is the Emanuel Goldstein in this epic Lakers Saga....the man simply does not exist...

great post, Menses.. love the comparison...

i was also thinking Orwell's Animal Farm, Napoleon is very Kobe , always gets his way..
interestingly, he is always trying to make everybody else out to be Snowball..

at least of you have some game

[Ratzz]

Game 2

wow.. the STAPLES CENTER is totally EMPTY!!

[Ratzz]

lol.. Kobe dunked.. but he can't elevate.. that barely went in*

[Menses]

Hey lay off the guy will ya....he's currently shooting 100 percent from the field.........

[Ratzz]

Hey lay off the guy will ya....he's currently shooting 100 percent from the field.........

when Kobe misses a shot and the Suns rebound... they score easilyhe can't get back.. so slowit's a 5 on 4, like a hockey power play

[Ratzz]

keep in mind that this is a team (Suns) that are a single game above .500 (11-9)what the hell happens when they play OKC... or San Antonio.. or Portland...?and this is at home.. last year they were absolute garbage on the road and this was BEFORE Kobe's injury

[thevault13]

I know, these 2 have nothing better to do!

I hope he single handedly takes this game away from pheonix just to shut you up!

Just so you know, to everyone onlooking it seems as ratzz and menses are completely fascinated with kobe as much as they try to say otherwise!

[Ratzz]

*I hope he single handedly takes this game away from pheonix just to shut you up!

lol... that may happen.. but i hope that the Kobe-tards do really understand that the Lakers are playing at home, vs. a team that is a SINGLE game over .500

the Suns are nobody. *NO*All-Stars...

KOBE kills the vibe they had going... they had won 6-of-8 before he came back..
they are all bummed that he is there,

but DAntoni is doing a better job of keeping the ball out of Kobe's hands..
otherwise they would be down 20 pts.*

[Goat Milk]

when the ball was glued to kobe's hands, he won 2 rings and got to the finals 3 straight years...lol. guys like bynum barely even sniffed the court, let alone the ball. thx to that recipe bryant now has 5 rings.

[Ratzz]

i wish i could express how happy I am about Kobe's HUGE extension.

the only way to win games against bad teams like PHX is to sit Kobe.

there is NO way to win tight games against good/great teams for the Lakers.

but by sitting Kobe.. then they need help, and they can't get quality help, because of Kobe's salary.

it's awesome..*

the best thing is that this goes on for the next three seasons including this one.

[qikness]

ant thoughts on tomorrow nights games yet?

Im new to this site and am wondering about thoughts on tomorrow nights game.

[Menses]

keep in mind that this is a team (Suns) that are a single game above .500 (11-9)what the hell happens when they play OKC... or San Antonio.. or Portland...?and this is at home.. last year they were absolute garbage on the road and this was BEFORE Kobe's injury

I suspect the REFS will be heavily involved in those affairs.....they will probably toss Ibaka or westbrook early....and send Kobe to the line 45 times....they have had one of the softest schedules to date...now things get real as of next week.

[Ratzz]

well the Kobers are down 7 pts with 37 sec. left...

i would love to post the loss for the Kobers... but i can't.

Mamba can easily come back and score 8-9 pts in 30 sec.

[Ratzz]

that 'Air-Ball' by Kobe was intentional.

doing that for effect...

makes for a more dramatic comeback later

[face]

i like how kobe passed up the 3 to get a 2
down 8 with 20 sec.

why not pad stats

Enough Ring counting....this is 2013...not 2009.......and the ball was also glued to his hands when Kobe shot 6 for 24 from the field and the REFS bailed his Brick laying ass out against Boston in game 7....i repeat 6 for 24.........

Thanks for clearing that up.....I almost thought he tried to pass it.......Silly me......hahahahaha

he won't take 3's anymore.. he knows he has NO chance of making them.

the game is officially over.. but i don't want to post the record yet.*
i want to wait like an hour until Kobe has showered and left the building.

Black Mumba can strike at any time, and still get the win

[ebelisle22]

NBA is a fixed sport. FACT. controlled by refs

[Ratzz]

i just want to go ON THE RECORD and say that:

I LOVE KOBE's $48 MILLION Extension.
this is fabulous.. this is like 3 yrs of free smiles.
(thank you, little greedy monster inside Kobe's brain!)*
