We care because if he would have made them and LA would have won the game we would have a 10 page thread of Kobe wins another one, Kobe is great...

I was posting in jest. I was watching and laughing. As soon as he clanked them I knew a thread would pop up on here.

it would be interesting if those missed shots result in LA playing SA or OKC in the first round instead of Portland

Anyone who has a problem with this thread can kiss my ass. It's well deserved for all the Kobe dick sucking about how great of a closer he is. He could go 0-9 in the last 5 minutes of a game, lose his team's lead and then hit a shot to win the game and we'd hear about how amazing of a closer he is. lol

Sundiata Gaines is a good closer too...

Not even close to the dick sucking that goes on for Lebron

I mean, I'm saying that for a reason and that reason will be understood by most.

But as far as this performance by Kobe goes, I'll say the same thing I'd say about LeBron. That's a statistical oddity, shit happens on certain days, not really a big deal. For guys like LeBron and Kobe, they're not on top because everything goes there way--it just goes their way more often than other guys. Nobody shoots 100%, even if you're 80% from the FT line that 20% comes from somewhere. Likely hasn't happened before, likely never will again.

If we're speaking in terms of quality vs. quantity, the Kobe dick sucking far exceeds LeBron's. You just see more about LeBron because at least 90% of us are either from Ohio or still live here. And guess what, Cleveland is in Ohio.

If you take it to a national scale, I'm not sure anything comes close to the level of dick suckers Kobe has.

Get real DA, this is an OHIO board, LBJ's dick SHOULD be sucked on here. It's all the bandwagon Kobe/Laker fans.

Is it really a statistical oddity for Kobe to have games like these shooting?

Last 3 games played by Kobe:

5/23
8/24
8/34

30% from FG, 39+ MPG, and 2 losses.

Um, no. Going 0-2 in a trip to the FT line in the 4th quarter is though.

Didn't know if you were talking about the entire performance or the FT's.

Definitely just the FT's. A poor shooting game is not a statistical oddity for Kobe.

I'm going to qualify any game under 40% shooting as a poor shooting game for a guy as good as Kobe. In 1,020 games he's shot under 40% in 356 of them, hardly an oddity.
