Last second 3 gives Kobe his 100th career 40 point game, 3rd most behind Wilt and MJ. You could tell he wanted it, he was launching some 3's in the 4th when he only needed 3 to get it, and was smiling afterwards. Such a meaningless shot but also a historic one. Glad to see Kobe get it. And Lamar needs to go back to the bench asap, please hurry Pau.

I dont see anyone signing him now. The distractions + everyones just prepping for the 010 FA class. Good bye AI, you have scared away any teams willing to take on your talent. Ill say he goes to the Olympiacos or something in Greece or Europe etc.

Lmao what are u a wizard or something. Well u were right it got horrid when Kobe left, then he came back and the ship is right. Just keep him in Phil, let him make a statement anyhow.

Kobe hasnt missed a shot since the 1st quarter. Hes missed some tip ins but other then that he hasnt missed any of his fadeaways or his layups. And hes finally getting some iso action tonight, just what I like to see. He only needs 5 more points for 40 though, and his 100th 40 point game of his career! Make it happen Phil!

OMGOMOGMGO0G OMGOMOGMG OMOGMOGMOG KOBE JUST MADE A LAYUP BACKWARDS. HE DIDNT EVEN SEE THE RIM. HOLY [expletive]!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! EVERYBODY GO HOME

I change my mind its Kobe. Wataryall crazy?

Kobe is magnificent tonight. Love him like I always did, I knew hed prove me wrong. I said he would

Serious thread. Quit laughin im serious. Look at DJ's numbers when filling in for Andrew. The defensive numbers in particular, hes a defensive juggernaut. So I ask of you, who ya got.

Nene is beasting! :o

Who is it? Think it might be Melo. Got to factor in Duncan as well.

Lebron padding his stats quite nicely.

LMAO he was open on like all of them.

And we give kids like this attention? smh

Dang good game going here, doin good for fantasy.

Unless you have tried it, you are a dumbass.

Gasol could play, were just being too cautious. 1 good thing is Kobe gets the help that he NEEDS.

Yeah im not talkin about like the 1990s bud.

He was signed only to sell tickets, probably just season ticket renewals. Same thing with trading for Zach, I have a feeling hes on the way out as well possibly.

Thats because Artest was on the Rockets, a team that cant win rings.

Wow lmao. You guys need to really chill out, this is one regular season win. Who is the 09 champions? Thought so. The Celtics lost to the Pacers and Hawks last week, is that a big deal too?

41 points, 50 % shooting. That speaks even more.

But wat about in Houston last week where Kobe had 41 points, on 50 % shooting?

Rajon Rondo or Larry Hughes. Oh wait I thought steals were the criteria for the award.

Man I know im over reactin but still If its his injury thats bothering him, thats even more bad news. What the heck are we gonna do man, he cant keep playin like this for all season. We just cant afford to have him playing this bad. Hes gonna have to miss some time unless he improves.

Did you watch the game? He was standing around quite a bit. When we hit a rut offensively, he just moves the ball along the perimeter so he can go stand around some more. We were clicking early on, but in the 3rd we couldnt get any shots. Kobe was also double teamed a lot tonight, but he did exactly what the Rockets wanted him to do and he gave up the ball as soon as he was double teamed. I also question why we didnt run any straight isos for him. If they are going to double him, isolate him so we can get a wide open look. That could be Kobes fault or Phils fault, but either one of them can call the play obviously. Not to mention Kobes defense, it was pathetic tonight. His rotations were weak, you couldnt count on one hand the number of times he had to rotate to Brooks, Ariza, or Battier and had a pathetic contest on the 3 pointer only to watch it go in. And well besides all that the numbers really dont indicate he put forth any sort of effort tonight. 18 points, well below his average. 5-20 shooting, settling for jumpers ONLY, all of them contested. 1 rebound, garbage. 3 assists, suprisingly above his average of a measley 2 assists per game so far this season. But for all the double teams Kobe saw tonight, he only managed 2 assists? Remind me again, is he the best player in basketball? Ive been so adamant for years now that he was, but even now im starting to turn the corner. He will prove me wrong, I know he will, especially come playoff time. But im still alarmed by his play so far.
