Kobe in a slump heading into playoffs

[kobefanatic]

hope kobe realizes that he needs rest too

[Goat Milk]

They could be out of the playoff in the 1st round if they have the misfortune of facing either OKC or Portland while Bynum is still out.

Wilford, I'm willing to bet you anything (SBR points) that LA would beat OKC, Portland, or any other first round opponent in the playoffs.

Williams22,

Figured it'd be you that started this thread.

lakers just got a bad break this year, kobe has a broken finger, it clearly affects him, because opponents INTENTIONALLY hit him in that hand to affect his shooting

[kobefanatic]

besides i still believe in the magic of KFC, when he wins 1 ring, he wins them in 3's

Kobe in a slump heading into playoffs

guys just a question you all know kobe always looks pissed whenever he loses a game didn't you see him missing those 2 ft yet he was still chuckling about it? along with that fisher miss, guys look at how he smiles, it's like it's intentional

[Goat Milk]

Kobe was thinking too much during those fts. You could see it in him when he was looking at the ball instead of the rim. If Kobe wanted to lose the game intentionally, he wouldn't have hit that go ahead 3, and then that 3 point play next.

All I will say is Kobe's game is down a little, in playoffs he better start hogging ball again and stop trying to be a team player. It is only chance they have.

i thought people are complaining about him being a ball hog?

[Nomocino]

Kobe will flip the switch for the playoffs like all the great 1s do

i certainly hope so

Kobe has been playing lax, he needs to take control of the ball more in playoffs like he normally does.

Wrong, he needs to become more of a facilitator. When Kobe dominates the ball Odom and Gasol suffer greatly. They can't beat any of the top teams in the league in a 7-game series playing like that.

And your defense of his recent performance is....

[konck]

Bad timing but I love it

[jmiezie]

I just think it is hard for teams to be as motivated and hungry for 82 games when they won the championship last year very easy aside from the Houston match up. They are on cruise control until the playoffs start. If anything its not Kobe hurting the Lakers right now its Fisher.. I love D Fish but he can not stop dribble penetration, and puts the Lakers in a bad spot time and time again.. Hopefully he is able to motivate himself to concentrate on slowing down the guards. He actually did a great job against Billups the other night but those nights are far and few between.. Miller was able to get to the basket anytime he wanted too yesterday.

Kobe is shooting only 30% in his last 3 games while only averaging 3.7 assist per game. Nice to see Mr. Clutch stepping up his game down the stretch

Lets see kobe has went for more than 30 against utah 3 games in a row. Kobe is still playing willy. LMAO where is queer James?

[mundane]

omgawd! resurrecting some threads are we!?!

hahahahaha! diz zhit iz phunnie! let's see some more! let's see some people eat their words! ROFLMAO!

[jgiun1]

this thread is going to be an instant classic next round and beyond..........

[lakerboy]

Dont deny the black mamba- a proven winner

[Gio21]

I would take Kobe over LeFraud James any nights

[kobefanatic]

He has an avulsion fracture, it's not nearly as bad as it sounds. I actually have one myself right now that happened nearly 2 months ago and hasn't fully healed. Only certain movements hurt at all and even then it's not awful.

No excuses for Kobe, he's just playing like shit.

this one is also applicable to lebron too, no excuses for his injury too he played like SHIT and CHOKED once again

[michalis]

queen fans will now have to wait until kobe is like 40, playing 8 minutes a game and going 0 for 3 so they can have a solid argument about how lebron is better than kobe

nah he's still posting, he's still waiting for kobe to lose this year so that the queen won't look bad, where is the elbow surgery of lebron? haven't heard of it since he got OUSTED

[jjgold]

Kobe really had had 2 bad games in a row or at least Celts D making him look bad like they did to Lebron.
He is struggling to get clear looks and forcing a little. He has had very few open shots.

game 2 kobe was in foul trouble so he can't attack aggressively, game 3 celtics defense was great towards him, watch the game kobe had a rough shooting night because he had to take highly contested shots with the shot clock running down

I'll have to disagree with the "Mr. Clutch" remark.



He went 10-29 from the floor in Game 3 and that is the furthest thing from clutch. Any player is going to score than many points and lead the team in scoring by putting it up way more than twice as much as the next closest player in attempts. The real proof is what player is the best when the game is on the line.
According to 82 Games, Bryant is fourth in the league in total game-winners hit but he holds the top spot in a less glamorous category - the most game-winning opportunity missed shots. In total, he has made only 25 percent (14-56) of his game-winning shots. He certainly has an overblown reputation when it comes to the clutch shot.

FYI-I'm a Kobe fan.

Kobe goes hard tonight. Like 13 of 50 hard.
