am i the only one that is not impressed by kobes 40 point

[Ghosttown]

See this is where you are making a mistake. I said nothing about Kobe being on the floor. I didn't say take him out the game. Have him in the game and feed the bigs is when they play the best.

You said Kobe shooting kept the Cavs in the game. When really Kobe's shooting helped them pull away

Yeah did it help them win in OT vs the Jazz? He almost shot themselves out of the game due to that. Sooner or later he has to realize he can't keep doing this. Its only going to hurt them in the long run.

Who said anything about the Utah game? They're arguing about the Cavs game.

Yet another example of people out not to reasonably debate, but hate Kobe whenever they get the chance. Seriously what did he do to you guys; sleep with your mothers or something?

Was I even talking about the Jazz game bud? Keep going though

^^ Ghosttown said it all

Dwayne Wade scored 12 points on 14 shots tonite. I haven't seen any threads about people not being impressed by that.

I did try but the Mod closed up to save his ass. I can't believe it. Whenever Lebron/Kobe had a bad game, people jumped on them but whenever this "supposedly" 2nd best player in the NBA had a bad game, people ignored it. It's such double standard. Wade needs to be call out for multiple consecutive poor performance.

LMAO THIS!

Amazing how this guy used to be a mod DId he even watch the game?

[ninjabelly]

im impressed, even if he took 32 shots that's gotta be tiring as hell.

You didn't answer the question. Yeah Kobe can get away with taking 30 shots against the Cavs. But do you really think its in the team's best interest to have him to keep shooting like this? When they go against good teams their going to force him to keep shooting. It ruins the flow for everyone else if he can't get his teammates involved. I've seen times where he could've just passed the ball to an open guy, but instead he shoots it himself. They're not winning a title with Kobe taking 30 shots a night.

[Biohazard]

Do people expect a 40 pt game with just 10-15 shots taken? lol

Well, He's not KD

Where did I ever state I "hate" Kobe? Kobe can't keep taking 30 shots a night if they're going to win a title. What happens when he has an off night? Denver is a prime example of that.

Against good teams, Kobe is going to get doubled and will eventually kick it out. Suns, Jazz, Cavs are all garbage squads. He'll eventually get back to 30PPG and 6 assist. Just let Kobe have his fun. Lol. 50% shooting for 40PPG is not a threat you go away from. Against the Jazz, I agree he made some bad shots. But also made a momentum three in OT, kicked it out to Gasol for a three and blocked the last shot to end overtime.

That's completely great as long as he is getting his teammates involved. But when he continues to keep chucking and forcing shots. It becomes a problem.

If he wins and scores 40 on 50% shooting. What is the problem?

If I was as talented as he was I wouldn't pass the ball either. Haters just get over it. Shooting is fun. Passing isn't.

[mepatrick]

Doesn't matter, they won.

The problem is that he's trying to shoulder too much of the load too early in the season - he's got too much mileage on those knees to keep doing that. He needs to pace himself so he's fresh at the end of the year so the Lakers can make a big push for the championship.

And we should trust your insight into his health and knee, and not kobe himself? I'm pretty sure 16 seasons in, he knows what he is doing.

okay Kobe Bryant's body. You should tell Kobe since he seems to not know that.

I think Kobe knows how to pace his body better than you or anyone else. I'm pretty sure his #1 goal is winning in June not scoring 40 in January. Just get over it dude and enjoy the show.

Exactly, we're talking about a guy with multiple rings.

His wife must be planning on destroying his mansion.

[yaaar]

Lol, reminds me of when Smush Parker wasn't impressed with the 81 points.

[Dupp]

I watched the game today and he didnt play bad at all but bynum definantly should have got the ball more, thats not soley kobes fault but bynum could and did get whatever he wanted against us.
