Bryant scores 58 points in loss to Bobcats

[ondeadline]

I caught the end of this one. The Lakers lose in triple overtime 133-124 before the largest crowd in Bobcats history.

Okafor has 22 points and 25 rebounds, one of three Bobcats to score 20 or more points.

I know they lost tonight, but I've been really impressed with the Lakers this year. No one thought that the Lakers would be this good this early after Shaq left. The past two years have showed me two things:
1. Phil Jackson is the greatest coach of all time.
2. Bryant is the best player in the game.

Thanks, Rambo.

Hey, if we said Rambo wasn't right about anything, we'd say LaDainian Tomlinson is not the best running back in the league.
I'm sorry but I'm not going to let Cockdian change my views on the Kobe.

 

[Big Buckin' agate_monkey]

I thought you were Cockdian?

 

[sportschick]

This is the last time I will say this. . . CHUCK IS NOT NOW, NOR HAS HE EVER BEEN, THE COCKDIAN.

Thank you for your time.

Yeah, what she said.

Thanks, Rambo and Mrs. Rambo


I won't let Rambo change my opinion of Kobe, either. He's a great player. But the Lakers would have won in regulation if he could get the team involved. If they were involved, they'd be playing defense on guys like Carroll and Gerald Wallace.

Phil Johnson is a great coach, too. But if he were the greatest of all time, he wouldn't have a one-dimensional team that forgets to play defense against inferior teams.

Phil Johnson?

Rambo, is that you?

But .. but ... but .. Luke Walton isn't one-dimensional ;o)

And Michael Jordan gave Carroll a tip: If you shoot it, you will score

 

[Chuck~Taylor]

Fixed, good catch.

And Phil Johnson might be a better coach than Phil Jackson, too.

Bynum,Cook, and Brown dosn't scare me at all. Then again, you don't have to play defense to be succesful in today's NBA (see Phoenix Suns).
Kobe didn't give it up tonight but he had to take over. That's what he's good at now. He knows when to go for 35+ or 20 and 10(assists). We all know the guy can score but he's also a great passer.

 

[ondeadline]

Which happens more? NBA teams playing defense or refs calling walking?

 

[beefncheddar]

Ol' Kobe only needed 45 shots to score those points.

I know they lost tonight, but I've been really impressed with the Lakers this year. No one thought that the Lakers would be this good this early after Shaq left. The past two years have showed me two things:
1. Phil Jackson is the greatest coach of all time.
2. Bryant is the best player in the game.

This is, like, sarcastic, right? Or a fanboy thing?

Yeah, there's no way Phil is one of the greatest coaches of all time. :

22-for-45 ain't bad, no matter how you slice it. It's not like he took 45 shots to score 30 points. I know everyone hates Kobe, but let's not act like he had a bad shooting night.

 

[MU_was_not_so_hard]

Had the pleasure of going to the Mavs-Bobcats game on Tuesday in Dallas, and after that game, I have no freakin' clue how the Bobcats are beating anyone. They stink. Dallas had a horrible game, and even through beer goggles, Charlotte still looked like Rosie O'Donnell.

Yeah, and with Odom out who should take more shots instead -- Sasha Vujacic or Vlad Radmanovic?

Wonder how much of his salary Carroll needs to give Juanita for that tip?

It's sarcastic saying Kobe is the best player in the game? Or that Phil Jackson is one of the greatest coaches of all time? Kobe is arguably the best player in the game, and i guess have nine championship rings means nothing. hmmm
