Whether it was your conviction that he'd never score 30+ ppg on 46%+


It was 30+ ppg on 47+% shooting (47.5% if iirc, but whatever). And has he done so? Thanks.

^ It was 46%, then you revised it to 46.5% or some nonsense. Good call on those other two predictions, btw.

It was certainly never 46%. Why would I act like it was an accomplishment if Kobe averaged 30 on 46% shooting? :lol: 46% isn't much.

Its a sign of a dislocated finger on his shooting hand.

Kobe has been terrible shooting the ball because he can't feel his pinky. I think we'll be alright. We were on a back to back and the Hawks had to play a perfect game and barely beat us. We played like crap and almost won.

Did you watch the game? If anything that's backwards.

Horford completely outplayed Gasol. That can't be good.

Hardford had a career high in rebounds. Josh Smith almost had a triple double. Lue knocked down timely shots. Joe Johnson had a great game.

Pau wasn't good tonight. Kobe was horrible. Our bench didn't step up.

Yes, you guys played a perfect game. We played bad.

"Hardford" had his way with Gasol in the paint, grabbing boards over your entire front court. Josh Smith almost has triple doubles all the time, including the last game he played. Joe Johnson is an All Star. Marvin had one of his worst games of the year. We outplayed you guys, we out-hustled you guys. We made our fair share of dumb turnovers and missed a lot of easy baskets.

The Lakers were hot from three and had the refs in their pocket for the majority of the game. Don't be such a sore loser.

Lakers: 31-17
Hawks: 21-24

Guys, dont even bother answering this guy. The topic obviously shows for the whole season. When Bynum comes back, I highly doubt Horford will get anywhere close to his boards tonight.... but for tonight, Hawks played better and were the better team. Having Kobe with a disclocated finger, Gasol having an off game and your guys having career games sure doesn't help either... either way, no excuses. Hawks beat the Lakers tonight. Simple.

Oh btw, High 5....
Refs had nothing to do with it.
Lakers had 2 more fouls.
Same # of TOs and FTs...

I not saying the Hawks are a better team at all, but they were a better team tonight. That's all I'm talking about. If you guys weren't so damn cocky and didn't whine when you lost you wouldn't get posts like mine. Horford is the reason Gasol had an off night. Smith also had some good plays on Gasol. He isn't a superstar like some may believe.

I just said above that the Hawks were the better team today...
so I guess we agree?
