Can't wait for Kobe to guarantee a win

[magnifier661]

Remembered the last time Kobe guaranteed a win in the playoffs? He went 4-20 and his Lakers lost that game by 15 to Detroit. Ironically it was a game 3 too.

 

[KingSpeed]

He shot 4 of 20 in that game??

Yeah it was something very close to that. I remembered because I was watching with my Laker friend. I remembered him telling me "Some guarantee!" LOL. I cherished that day.

 

[magnifier661]

Okay stand corrected... It was a guarantee for game 4. Kobe shot 8/25 and scored 20 points.

Gosh, Payton was horrible in those playoffs.

OMG, I am actually really wrong. I just found a Laker's forum archive and it was June 15th, when Kobe guaranteed a win. That was game 5. http://espn.go.com/nba/boxscore?gameId=240615008

Kobe's box score: 24 points, 7-21 shooting, 3 turn overs.

That's like Game 6 of 2008 NBA Finals when he shot 7 of 22. Kobe is a choke artist in the big games.

That choke artist has choked his way to 5 rings, moron.

And he'll always have better knees than Brandon Roy ;]

What do you think about Bynum's call out?

Shaq won Kobe's first three and Artest saved Kobe's ass last season:

Horrible shot against Suns. Artest gets rebound. Then Game 7 vs Cs?? Biggest game of his career? 6 of 24 shooting. Artest made shots and saved the day for Kobe.

Oh and Kobe choked at the end of game 1 on Monday. Perfect look at the game winner. Clank! Team in 0-2 hole cuz he can't handle the pressure.

Not sure what he meant. He's pissed at someone (Pau?) but then kind of backpedalled.

Great thread. Kobe went 1 for 1,00,000. Oops, guess not.

Nevermind.

Yeah it should have said Miller went 1-1000 for you to enjoy the thread.

Okay, Kobe shot bad in game 7 last season...he still grabbed..what was it? 18 boards?

Odom kept talking to the crowd during last night's game: "Don't worry, we'll win."

 

[Mamba]

Odom has been extremely arrogant as of late. Can't stand it.

Yeah I've noticed that too. I think the last time it was really aparent was the interview on TNT. Talking about their swagger and shit.

Artest should guarantee a win in Game 3.
