Lakers 90 Jazz 87 (OT)

Final

***zaga_fan*** · 01-12-2012, 02:11 AM

Kobe dropped 40
14-31 from the field

Kobe is PACKING this team right now and being successful while he does it.

Kobe is now averaging 29.5 ppg.
That puts him at #2 in the league behind Lebron with 29.7 ppg.
And throw in the fact that his wrist is torn and needing surgery.....

but the wrist worries me.
They say he can't do any more damage to it....

***zaga_fan*** · 01-12-2012, 02:14 AM

The Jazz fought hard in this one....
If they had a wingman they would be competing with the top dawgs in the west.
Devin Harris is legit at PG, Al Jefferson and Paul Milsap are absolute hosses down low, Kanter is contributing and will only get better....
but Hayward isn't going to cut it as their scoring threat :|

Jazz couldn't win the 14th region...

Kobe shows why he's one of the best scorers of all-time. Kobe loves taking it to bad teams.

**ekff** · 01-12-2012, 10:02 AM

If Lebron was just half as mean as Kobe, Lebron would be unstoppable.

Don't hate Wink

And the Jazz are NOT a bad defensive team.
As one on one defenders they don't look great but they are a great team-defense.

***zaga_fan*** · 01-12-2012, 02:44 PM

Kobe was listed as the frontrunner for MVP this morning.
Everyone in the league will be going for knee surgery overseas lol

I just said Jazz aren't good... They aren't...

40+ points on back-to-back nights, with a bad wrist, against NBA competition. Kobe Bryant is still a lethal scorer.

The night before you said Kobe likes playing against teams with no defense.
Last night it was Kobe likes playing against bad teams.
What happens if he drops 40 on Miami next week?
Will he love playing against good teams?

The Jazz will make the playoffs and they will push whoever they play in the first round.

***zaga_fan*** · 01-12-2012, 05:29 PM

And for the record....
I'm pretty sure EKFF and I don't agree on anything lol

I'll take an avatar bet that Jazz don't make playoffs

I'll take an avatar bet on Kobe under 40 against Miami lol

Always a good sports day when the Lakers win.

But Kobe might be tired by next Thursday Wink

I know it's early....
But as of now they're in

Always an excuse when Kobe has a big game. Face it, he's an All Time Great. Still getting it done at 33.

K_Mac · 01-13-2012, 11:00 PM

I dont get on here as often as I use to and defend Kobe's greatness but back to back 40 point games in his 16th NBA season (Only Kareem has done this more with 3) So I think its safe to say Kobe's game speaks for itself. Like I said before In Kobe I Trust. With Bynum healthy and Pau staying consistent the Lakers are still dangerous, don't count them out.

***Wildcatk23*** · 01-14-2012, 12:20 AM

Lol, I love how he is always hurt or something.

***Wildcatk23*** · 01-14-2012, 12:21 AM

They have got to get rid of fisher or there going no where.

They have to keep him because of his ability to find space and hit big shots.

However.....
it would be nice if he did that coming off of the bench lol

He sucks so bad. Slow, Old, Liability.

**Aslan** · 01-14-2012, 01:18 PM

He needs to be coming off the bench. He shouldn't be starting for any NBA team at his age.
