Not as many people disrespecting his effort as I expected out on the main board and on the Nets forum.

Some are saying he took too many shots, but christ, look who he's playing with. Odom had like 1 point in the first quarter. Plus Kobe shot 60%+ (it seems) with every shot being contested.

I've never seen anything like it. Unreal.

ghoti

That was not meant as baiting. I want to know why the Raps gave up the 2nd most points in NBA history yet no one here seems upset.

Kobe is not a superhero. He can be stopped no matter how hot he is.

I apologize, but I'll ask again.

Seriously. What the hell?

ghoti why so upset?

(hope it's nothing to do with Vince vs. Kobe arguments)(kobe>Vince btw)

hellrell

uhh if you watched, you'd know they put like 4 different guys on him.. and that didn't make the slightest difference... he just had the rhythm tonight, and the real reason he put up those numbers is because phil jackson let him play until the final 4 seconds... he could of easily had 90 against dallas but he sat out the 4th... anyway not to take anythin away from him.. he made almost all his shots in the second half.. including some insane 3 pointers .. and even got fouled on two 3 pointers

anyway hopefuly the raps will be pissed and just take it out on denver tonight..

ghoti

Nah. I'm a Nets fan, not really a fan of any particular player.

I'm really not upset. I'm just wondering why Raps fans aren't.

Kobe has been scorching hot against far worse teams than the Raptors, and they didn't give up 81 points.

I thought the Raps could have won that game, even in the 4th quarter.

I'm upset that the Raps lost and I'm upset that Kobe's 81 point output happened against the Raps, but you know what? Kobe put on a fantastic show tonight and to be able to say that I watched it sort of erases a bit of the pain.

Well I'm not trying to confront you about it, so don't worry about it.

This game was essentially a miracle performance. The Lakers were down by like 15 points at the half, with Kobe scoring ~30 in a losing effort up to that point.

He came out in the third and with his team flat as piss on a plate he put them on his back and carried them to a tie. It energized the whole team, who started playing full-court press and causing turnovers. They took the lead and didn't look back.

People are going to look at his two assists and say he didn't impact the game in a total way. Untrue. He was everything for that team. He singlehandedly ripped Toronto's heart out in the third quarter and then buried the corpse in the fourth.

I understand people not being upset because they are busy being awed. It wasn't like we rolled over and everyone stopped guarding him. We kept the effort up until it was totally out of hand with around four or five minutes left, and even then we were sending doubles at him and trying to get the ball away from him until the last minute.

Nothing short of fouling him could stop him from hitting his jumpshot, and when we fouled him he converted anyways. That's the ****ing way she goes.

anniebananerz

It's been 45 minutes since the game ended and I'm still sitting here gaping at the box score.

ghoti

If Kobe scores 81 against the Nets, I'm jumping off my roof.

ansoncarter

personally, I'm happy everytime we lose. Only real negative was how easily our team quit on themselves (which is the biggest reason he was able to pad his stats imo) but that doesn't bother me either since I want most of them replaced

can't speak for anyone else, but I think most raps fans are in holding-pattern mode (emotionally) until the roster is overhauled. Probably tempers the outrage

ghoti

That is sad, man!

I don't think I'd even watch if I felt that way.

I saw the Raptors play some games this year and really fight, too.

I am also of the opinion that the Raps have bottomed out and are currently heading in the right direction.
