Yes, Kobe still got it. Is there anyone out there who didn't knew that already?
That doesn't take away the theory that when he shoots and scores a lot, his team doesn't perform very well. This is old news. LA barely beat Toronto when he got 82, and that's the way it went every night when he scored 50+ during some stretch. Those were the Knicks out there. NY lets teams score 106+ points per game against them every night, and LA is the highest scoring team in the league right now so no surprise in the final score. QRich? haha, what a stopper.
Everyone knows if that's the way LA plays against good teams, they have no chance. The Finals against the Celtics showed that. We've got D and a real team who performs collectively almost every night, plus 3 all stars who can really step it up in the scoring load if things are not going that well. LA only has Kobe for that (don't say Pau Gasol please). Besides, we don't rely on offense, it's defense what it's needed to be played. It's that simple.
I want the Celtics to crush them on Thursday.
