Jesus. 81 points??? Seriously?? It only took Kobe 46 shots + 20 free throws. That's one crazy boxscore. I admire the 2 assists though.

― Aaron W (Aaron W), Monday, 23 January 2006 05:42 (twenty years ago)

I just saw that! It makes the OTHER crazy boxscore seem positively tame by comparison.

i think there are little red superman underwear on over those tights, under his shorts

man is gonna top Chamberlin's single game within the next 2 years

PROVING ONCE AGAIN THAT ANAL RAPE MAKES YOU GOOD AT BASKETBALL!

― Sloths B. Creepin (Adrian Langston), Monday, 23 January 2006 15:02 (twenty years ago)

Holy shucking fit.
Also, please note: the Lakers are a joke.
Kobe had 81, but THE ENTIRE REST OF THE TEAM combined for 16 assists and 38 points. I don't know what Kobe's playing out there, but it doesn't sound like basketball.

― Forksclovetofu (Forksclovetofu), Monday, 23 January 2006 15:58 (twenty years ago)

When you have one guy take 48 shots, tho, that doesn't give anyone else a chance to do anything.

Maybe Kobe's playing NBA Jam. Anyone check his flame trail?

― David R. (popshots75`), Monday, 23 January 2006 16:01 (twenty years ago)

When you have one guy take 48 shots, tho, that doesn't give anyone else a chance to do anything. - GIVE HIM MORE SHOTS

― j blount (papa la bas), Monday, 23 January 2006 16:03 (twenty years ago)

Imagine what Kobe could do if he focused more on his offense!

― David R. (popshots75`), Monday, 23 January 2006 16:04 (twenty years ago)

16 assists = 32 points more or less
81-32 = 49 points that Kobe apparently made without any help from the rest of the team.

― Forksclovetofu (Forksclovetofu), Monday, 23 January 2006 16:04 (twenty years ago)

Actually it is 31 because of the 18 foul shots, but yeah.

― Alex in SF (Alex in SF), Monday, 23 January 2006 16:46 (twenty years ago)

is because Odom is past his prime yet still overrated

― J. Lamphere (WatchMeJumpStart), Monday, 23 January 2006 17:26 (twenty years ago)

The rest of the team presumably didn't help with the foul shots either!

― Forksclovetofu (Forksclovetofu), Monday, 23 January 2006 17:37 (twenty years ago)

Haha but they might have come from a would-be assist which was FOILED by a foul!

― Alex in SF (Alex in SF), Monday, 23 January 2006 17:50 (twenty years ago)

Maybe. I really wish I could've seen the game.

You figure Shaq regularly calls Lamar Odom in the middle of the night, laughs into the receiver and hangs up?

― Forksclovetofu (Forksclovetofu), Monday, 23 January 2006 19:02 (twenty years ago)

Wow, this is even more amazing when you realize that in the game that Wilt scored 100, the score was 169 to 147...

http://www.hoophall.com/exhibits/chamberlain_boxscore.htm

The rest of the team had 52 shots (compared to Wilt's 63) and also 37 assists.

― Aaron W (Aaron W), Monday, 23 January 2006 20:31 (twenty years ago)

watch all 81

― Forksclovetofu (Forksclovetofu), Friday, 27 January 2006 03:11 (twenty years ago)

So sweet! Thanks!

― Jeff LeVine (Jeff LeVine), Friday, 27 January 2006 17:31 (twenty years ago)

I had no idea the Lakers were down fifteen IN THE FIRST HALF! And were only up by 7 w/ 8 minutes left in the game!

― David R. (popshots75`), Friday, 27 January 2006 17:33 (twenty years ago)

LOL at lousy Lakers team that may likely not even make playoffs.
That Pistons game was depressing. And they have a starting player named SMUSH. Normally classic, with this team: DUD.

― Forksclovetofu (Forksclovetofu), Monday, 30 January 2006 02:47 (twenty years ago)

How do you get that they are likely to not make the playoffs? They are right in the thick of one of the last two or three spots. And looking crappy against the Pistons isn't really a crime these days. EVERYONE looks crappy against the Pistons. All that said this is not one of the Lakers finer teams. I guess they'll have to steal another center.

i liked how the most knowledgeable fans in basketaball made it sound like a laker home game, except louder. the "mvp!" chants were great.

― dan (dan), Wednesday, 1 February 2006 17:03 (twenty years ago)

two weeks pass...

"Wow, how can you lose a ballgame like that?" Jackson said. "I just don't understand sometimes the capabilities of this team to disappoint."

"I'm befuddled. Perplexed. Mystified," Bryant said. "Just put the first half of the season behind us. We wish we could have played a lot better this first half of the season. Unfortunately, it didn't happen."

― Jeff LeVine (Jeff LeVine), Thursday, 16 February 2006 18:30 (twenty years ago)

laker gm mitch kupchak was at the table next to me last night here in beautiful brentwood ca. he spent an hour playing card games with his two kids and had the scallops, which i had as well (excellent). his wife is very tall. his six year old said that the lakes needed "someone to help kobe with scoring" and mitch said "you have to give up stars to get stars". i will keep you posted as i learn more.

the west is wide open! can the lakers could sustain the defensive effort we saw against the pistons on saturday? we may be on the verge of seeing something truly special--one for the ages.

― dan (dan), Monday, 6 March 2006 17:56 (twenty years ago)

The Lakers are horrendous.
Not Knicks bad, mind you; but still BAD

― Forksclovetofu (Forksclovetofu), Tuesday, 7 March 2006 07:17 (twenty years ago)

They're just WEIRD, cos they can beat the Pistons but lose to the Blazers all in one fell swoop. I never tire of beating them, though.

― Pwnjabi MC (Matt Chesnut), Tuesday, 7 March 2006 13:53 (twenty years ago)

yeah this team is such a fascinating mess. one game lamar odom can look like the most exciting, versatile player in the game, and the next he's taking two terrible shots, losing the handle and refuses to touch the ball for the rest of the half. so weird.

― metonymus prime (rgeary), Tuesday, 7 March 2006 17:50 (twenty years ago)

never mind that the bench (and in my mind, the bench starts with kwame and sometimes smush...even though they're starters) is GARBAGE

― metonymus prime (rgeary), Tuesday, 7 March 2006 17:51 (twenty years ago)

That's mostly what I mind.

― Forksclovetofu (Forksclovetofu), Tuesday, 7 March 2006 21:50 (twenty years ago)

More weirdness: beating teh Mavs then losing miserably to Memphis!!!

― mucho (mucho), Wednesday, 10 January 2007 21:59 (nineteen years ago)

The Pau-powered Grizzles have been playing some stupid games lately - they were playing Chuck & Duck w/ the Warriors last week (I think), and put up 130+!

God damn me, I'm kinda liking the Lakers this year. 2 dudes on my fantasy team (Kobe & Kwame) + TV announcers that don't sound like Hawk Harrelson homers (CHICAGO BULLS I'm looking right @ you stupid asses) + WTF assistance from Farmar Superstar (copyright G. Cosloy) & SMUSH + the triangle in all its glory = FUN!

― David R. (popshots75`), Wednesday, 10 January 2007 22:25 (nineteen years ago)

I still don't get why announcers rooting for their team is a bad thing.

― Chesty Joe Morgan (Chesty Joe Morgan), Thursday, 11 January 2007 00:57 (nineteen years ago)

It doesn't have to be! However, whenever I've come across it (most notably during ChiSox / Bulls games), this rampant boosterism is there in place of everything else. At least leaven the yay-rah-rah crap w/ some actual observations or analysis that's semi-impartial, or at least feign some interest in what the other team's doing.

I watched this Lakers / Bulls game a few weeks ago, and it was the perfect example of what NOT to do. The announcers were actually telling Kobe to sit down after he fouled out! And when they weren't doing that, they were waxing Michael Jordan's pole, because IN NO WAY is Kobe one-fiftieth the player MJ was, so let's spend 6 straight possessions belaboring that point. (I want to say Stacey King was the one that couldn't shut up, because LOL @ Stacey King.)

The Celtics announcers are total homers (I mean, god, Tom Heinsohn is King Homer), but Tommy can also make a good point once in a while, and Mike Gorman's the perfect semi-impartial, totally-professional foil for him. Joel Meyers (sic?), the Lakers broadcaster, is totally pro-Lakers, but he doesn't turn every LA contest into a "GOOD GUYS WIN" sort of dick-off.

You can support the team you work for w/out painting your face and yelling DEFENSE into the microphone. Even disregarding that these formerly regional broadcasts are now available nationwide, it'd behoove these shitwits to maybe think of the local viewership audience that'd like to watch a basketball game & not a pep rally.

― David R. (popshots75`), Thursday, 11 January 2007 15:48 (nineteen years ago)

I hated King at the beginning, but he's grown on me a lot. I'm actually surprised you named his as an example here, cause he's the one out of the three who provides any sort of game analysis, and that's about all he does. Kerr is useless at this point, but no one is going to tell him he can't broadcast if he still wants to, and I'm ok with that.
(btw they were telling Kobe to sit down cause he was wagging his finger at the ref. If a Bull did that, they'd make a similar comment, except that a Bull would NEVER do that. ok, maybe Wallace, but he doesn't count)

― Chesty Joe Morgan (Chesty Joe Morgan), Friday, 12 January 2007 20:41 (nineteen years ago)

I'm with you on the Hawk/DJ thing, though. Makes the games nearly unwatchable.

― Chesty Joe Morgan (Chesty Joe Morgan), Friday, 12 January 2007 20:47 (nineteen years ago)

yeah joel stein (is that his name?), the lakers play by play, is a mild homer but he definitely knows the game and gives credit to good play by the opposition. he gets pumped for good lakers plays but he'll give it up for the visitor.

he can't touch ralph lawler's "bingo!" for a good three ball tho

― agent hibachi (rgeary), Wednesday, 17 January 2007 07:13 (nineteen years ago)

the lakers almost let one get away against the aging spurs tonight. if they can keep moving the ball like this after lamar gets back . . .

uh oh kobels too old for microfracture, thats like saying 'hes too fat for gastric bypass but no worries everythings cool'

Laker trainer Gary Vitti tells Lakers.com's Mike Trudell about Kobe Bryant's right knee, which sounds like it's due for a busy offseason: "His is an articulating cartilage problem. The way I describe that to people is that if you look at the end of chicken bone where it’s nice and white, well, that’s not bone, it’s cartilage. Sort of like a Teflon surface that when two bones come together, that cartilage is there so that bones don’t rub on each other. Now, the fact that it’s nice and white tells you it doesn’t have a good blood flow to it, and that means it cannot heal or regenerate. So, over time, as that cartilage wears away, you end up with osteoarthritis. Kobe doesn’t have an arthritic knee, but he has a knee that has some joint degeneration to it. His issues and his age are such that it eliminates some procedures, like microfracture and that type of things. But he is a candidate for certain other things, and we know all the procedures all around the world that are available to him, and the appropriate decisions will be made, he’ll have the best care."

i don't really think he's cooked, but it seems silly to think that he's going to do something this offseason that's going to make his hops magically return.
