Dude, I didn't get "worked"-- 15 FT's per game is absurd, and far beyond Jordan's single-season high of 11.85 per game (most years he averaged 8-9 per game- check the stats). Kobe's not that aggressive, and nearly half of his offensive output is currently coming from FT's. That's just wrong.


All I ask is for the same people who always cried about Jordan supposedly getting special treatment from the refs to admit that Kobe's currently getting much more. Like I said, though, it's early-- let's see how long his 15 FT's per game last.


EDIT:

Btw...



Bionic OWNED. :D

Yes, I totally agree with you Loki and I will admit that you are right. Kobe gets to the FT line way more then Jordan ever did because he is a better player. :D

And true, I owned myself, but that is what happens when you rely on extremely biased memories and nostalgia to make an argument. Hmm, but you wouldn't happen to know anything about that, would you Loki? ;)

Kobe's whole game is based on memories and nostalgia. :lol

The only thing Kobe has on MJ is the most rape allegations per season, and I don't think MJ wants that "record" :p....unless...

LAS VEGAS (AP) -- Michael Jordan, the greatest NBA player ever, was arrested after a woman accused the former Chicago Bulls guard of sexual misconduct at a hotel near Green Valley.

The 42-year-old Jordan was released after turning himself in Friday and posting a $25,000 bond on suspicion of felony sexual assault, the Clark Country sheriff's office said Sunday.

Man, anyone else catch this sh!t about Ron Artest? :lol What a joke; goes to show you the spoiled bitches that too many of today's athletes are. The team shoud've held his salary for the season IMO for this nonsense. What balls lol.


"I'm burned out from promoting my rap album despite having 4 months off and not playing in the Olympics". :lol


Man, he wanted like a MONTH or two off, not just a few games. Incredible. :p

INDIANAPOLIS -- Indiana Pacers forward Ron Artest said Wednesday that he asked coach Rick Carlisle for time off because of a busy schedule that included promoting a soon-to-be released rap album, which led to his two-game benching.

Artest held a short news conference before Wednesday night's game against the Los Angeles Clippers, and in his usual ambiguous manner, tried to explain why he was benched.

Artest said that he asked Carlisle for as much as a month off to heal his aching body and recover from a particularly busy schedule.

"My body has been aching, I was going to take some time off and I said it the wrong way," Artest said. "Everything that happened wasn't too negative. I kind of surprised the team by wanting to take some games off, just to get back together, maybe stay home for a little bit, rest a little bit and come back."

He certainly surprised Carlisle, who said Tuesday that the situation, "compromised the integrity of the team. It's a private team matter, and I'm going to leave it at that."

"I don't know what that means," Artest said. "They probably expected a little more; expected me to play every game. Everybody's different. It's early in the season, so I feel like I could take some time off early and be ready for the long stretch."

LMAO!!! 11 attempts in the first half? Looks like another 20+ FT night for Kobe, with FT's constituting 60% of his offense.


Ludicrous.

TMac can beat the Grizzlies with a bad hip and only playing 3 quarters. Kobe is getting blown out by them!

TMac > Kobe. The Tribe has spoken. Sorry Konex, TMac wins.

Memphis is going to be a good team. And the Lakers had a game in Charlotte the night before, they probably got in after 3am. It is hard to play basketball when you are tired. <End of Damage Control>

Learn that excuse well DM, you are going to be hearing it a lot in Houston when Yao starts cramping up in the 2nd quarters of most games. :)

Also, wouldn't it be funny if Orlando made the playoffs and Houston missed the playoffs? Bet that would do a lot for T-Mac's stock. :D

I see there is an NBA League Pass for radio, but does anyone know how to find local games on the radio? I can't find an affiliate list for the Bobcats, and I'd sooner drop $120 to watch all the games rather than $50 to listen to them. I'd love to find an online streaming site to listen, or even a later *star* to watch them online. Do people torrent sports games?

It was all according to plan, let T-Mac carry the team for 4 years while he collected his $10-$15 million pay check every year. :(

It is the first week of the season. It means nothing. Now if Kobe is still shooting 28 percent in January, then there will be reason from concern from Kobe fans (and of course celebration from the haters).

Yeah, I'm using the ESPN update thing, but I can't listen to the online thing for a couple more minutes (I'm not using my computer, but someone else's and they're on the phone so I don't wanna make noise :/).

I just dropped Troy Murphy and picked up J-Unit in one of my fantasy leagues. I really hope the Cats do well this season.

110-87 Memphis over the Lakers.... I wish I could think of a snappy comment here.... Looking at the stats I see the Lakers bench was non-existent... some things don't change.

ARGH WE LOST 100-102

Damnit, I wish they weren't close losses. They always hurt more :(

This team looks like they will be able to contend for 25 wins IMO.

I wonder how many (if any) Bobcats games will be on National TV.

March Tue 1 Sacramento 7:00pm C-SET NBATV
March Wed 2 @ New Orleans 9:00pm -- ESPN
April Sat 16 New York 1:00pm C-SET Telemundo

:lol

Ugh, the parade to the line for Kobe continues. 10-13 from the stripe, with the 10 makes accounting for 50% of his points tonight. Still, at least he "only" shot 13 FT's tonight instead of 16. The referees' knees must've hurt, so they gave it a rest for a while. ;) :D

Btw, his shitty FG% tonight probably had a lot to do with James Posey-- the guy plays good defense; he really impressed me against McGrady last week.


Nash redeems himself with the 2 FT's, seemingly sealing the win, but then Ilgauskas with the RIDICULOUS 3. You could give him that shot 100 more times, and he'd never hit it again. :D


Phoenix will take this if it goes OT, though.


EDIT: Just saw that Posey didn't play, so I guess Bonzi Wells did the job on Kobe tonight, because we all know they didn't put Battier on Kobe after Kobe torched him for like 84 points last season. :p

That was a beautiful play, though. Look how tight they played Bron leaving Z to shoot over Nash :D

The only game that's televised nationally (that is, not on NBA League Pass or NBATV) is March 2nd, 2005 @ New Orleans on ESPN. Why? I dunno.

And I have NBA TV. I get to see 3 Bobcats games this year. :\

And there are NBA games floating around, I dunno about any Bobcat ones though...

Well we NEED to go to the FT line. Come on ladies..

Also, Rafer having 4 fouls is hurting us. He's the only player that plays without any fear (Milt is crazy, but too many TOs) on the team. We can win this.

Yeah they f'ed up. Should have shown the Hornets @ Bobcats.

We might get some decent love nationally next year as we break in the new crib.

Bowser, are you in Charlotte? You can listen to the games on 106.1 if so. If you have digital cable, a LOT of games are on C-SET also. I get about 15 games up here in Raleigh, but I have satellite so no C-SET for me. Other games (the ones I get) are on Charlotte WJZY. I think the next broadcast on that channel is 11/20.

Yeah, I'm in Charlotte and I watch on WJZY also. Same as you though, I have satellite so no C-SET for me either :( For some reason it completely slipped my mind that I LIVE in Charlotte, so I should be able to get the game on local radio :lol

And Drew Gooden had 21 boards! Boozer? I remember no filthy Boozer. :D

And yeah, what Zydrunas just did to the Suns should be released on a collector's edition DVD and forever remembered. :lol
