hey everybody, heavy just said kobe is the next step of evolution.

Maybe he is a biology major?

 

[masud]

Darn sucks about Kobe, I just need him to be healthy going into the off-season...

 

[LiveFromKyoto]

Kobe for Amare is clearly the solution to all of this.

Nooooo, I want to see them play together

And bring back Steve Francis.

[MetalFearSolid]

Damn at that Kobe news.

 

[friskykillface]

Lol pop. These schedule makers/tv companies never learn. Nationally televise the 1st game of a b2b spurs game and not the 2nd game. I would have thought they noticed it by now lol.

Damn another Kobe injury.. me thinks Lakers will win like 5 games w/in that 6 weeks Kobe recovery.

i think thats why Stern or whoever made the christmas games didn't have a finals rematch
Pop would have trolled and rested/let the starters be with their families and skip the game

instead we got Pau vs the Heat on christmas 0_o

Don't forget New York vs OKC and Chicago vs Brooklyn. Right now the only games that have any potential for being good are LAC-GSW and Spurs-Rockets.

You guys are ridiculous. Here's where he got hurt:

Is that to show Kobe is old increasing his odds of injury on top of coming off an achilles?

 

[MorisUkunRasik]

I didn't want Kobe pushing us into the 9th seed....but not like this man, not like this.

Ironic that not passing the ball got him hurt

 

[brianjones]

man these tnt games tonight are gonna suck

damn injuries

 

[Adam Blade]

Poor KoMeChu.

Nori-chan am kowaii-desu.

Desu.

:3

 

[jobber]

Speaking of washed up players.....Manu might not be so washed up this year.

I think the above pic is a bit incorrect, on 82games reggie jackson is +178 but Manu is +184 IIRC.

Manu is averaging 18-7-6 per 36 and has a 59%TS.

He's still a liability on defense AND he takes some dumb shots when he's trying to get in the flow of the game. He shouldn't have started last year. Worst mistake of Popacorn's career.

I've watched every game the Spurs lost this season and Manu has been the reason every time.

Even in that Clippers beatdown, the biggest margin of victory ever for them against the 5pur5?

What a defensive sequence

 

[TheKaeptain]

hey everybody, heavy just said kobe is the next step of evolution.

He's telling us like we already didn't know.

 

[Branduil]

How long until Tyson asks for a trade?

 

[jobber]

I doubt it was the biggest. There was a couple of games the Clipps won in San Antonio couple of years ago that stung. Then again, winning that game in OT in LA on a Chris Paul turnover helped ease the pain.

 

[Exokell]

u miss ur bf huh?

 

[KingGondo]

Deng and Hinrich out for the Bulls tonight in OKC.

This one's gonna get ugly.

Do OKC know how to play that isn't ugly?

 

[Zep]

Do OKC know how to play that isn't ugly?

Simply the worst. I'd rather watch Indiana shit it up.

 

[Gully State]

What a defensive sequence

That's one way to stop dribble penetration.

 

[diehard]

IWMTB do you read jazzfanatical's blog? its great

 

[DY_nasty]

What a defensive sequence

Showing this to people at work omg

 

[Vahagn]

The excitement over Kobe's injury is just sad to see.

I thought not piling on a guy when he gets injured is one of the unwritten rules of The Thread Formerly Known As Best-Gaf

Yes.

People are cheering at the idea of Kobe in pain.

That's absolutely what's going on.

vag, pls.
no point in crying over spilled milk.
no one wants to see players get injured, but let's not pretend kobe's injury wont push them towards further tanking.

I'm grandfathered in on being able to shit on player's injuries.

They just got better how exactly does that help tanking?

Lakers were playing better without Kobe. lulz

 

[Herpes Reasons]

simple, now they're forced to get some nba reject from the d-league team to play point.

Lakers were playing better without Kobe. lulz

and kobe has been improving from game to game.

 

[Eleuin]

I like how they just point and back away from him

 

[UnObtainium17]

[Cipherr]

Any time you can extend a player for 48 million before he even plays a game after an Achilles tear you've gotta do it.

I mean..... goddamn the man has meant a lot to the organization, but everyone knew that crazy extension was a bad move.

Absolutely ridiculous.

 

[TheKaeptain]

 

[benjipwns]

As long as the Lakers can stay around .500 by the time Kobe (and Nash) come back it'll be fine. This is a setback but it's not a disastrous one.

 

[alba]

Let's hope we won't get blown out tonight. GO BULLS!

Wow even California says none. That's pretty surprising.

 

[obijkenobi]

Timmy has had a lot of injuries th at have limited him, especially towards the end of seasons, but I'm so glad he hasn't had the major knee stuff kobe is going through. I wonder how much of it is luck, Pop's game planning, or Timmy losing weight as he has gotten older/PED use

 

[Black Mamba]

Obviously Kobe will never be elite again on offense. Once he tore the Achilles I knew that to be the case.

 

[Dominican Power]

You know Dantoni is happy that Kobe is out.

 

[ratcliffja]

Obviously Kobe will never be elite again on offense. Once he tore the Achilles I knew that to be the case.

Was the "on offense" part really necessary?

 

[thekad]

Obviously Kobe will never be elite again on offense. Once he tore the Achilles I knew that to be the case.

If he's not elite on offense and he's absolute garbage on defense he's Monta Ellis

Brandi wins

 

[obijkenobi]

Isn't he the leading vote getting for the West all stars? Sounds pretty legit to me

They have nobody to replace his defensive impact now that Metta is gone.
