Haha probably, but our last 2 games are the kinds of games that tickles his pickle (in regards to team stats and Kobe's stats).

i wasn't able to watch the game but the +/- for tayshaun was horrible.

Great win for the Lakers. First win in Detroit since 2002.

hollinger is a hater pure and simple. did anyone see his new stat? its value added and it claims that kobe is 60% the player that lebron is. anyone who creates a statistic like that is completely discredited in my book.

[crazyeights]

Discredited eh? Well that's a shame. Let's see here... Discredited is a negative word. As is hater....

....so according to my formula (negative words x letters in words) x (-16) = relevance of your post.

So you scored: (2x16) x (-16) = -512. Sorry! You need a score of -32 or greater to post relevantly.

Better luck next time!

But, this team just matches up well against us. Looking at it, you'd think the biggest mismatch we'd have would be Pau Gasol. But Kwame's a GREAT man defender

I was just reading the thread from the beginning, so sorry if i brought up old news, but is this post sarcasm or what?

kwame's best known asset (which also landed him the detroit contract) was his above average man-to-man post defense

the fact that its usually rasheed making the lakers pay because he could drag the lakers big men out of the paint and hit treys was probably the basis for the matchup analysis (even tho he didnt play), rip usually runs kobe ragged through off the ball screens (rip also wasnt playing) and prince is of the long, wirey defender mold able to stay in front of kobe (tho +26/-37 doesnt exactly say prince had a great defensive game)

all in all, aside from the 21-2 start to the second qtr, not a whole lot went in detroits favour today
