KOOOBBBEEE
Just Another Sunny day in California:
gotta give props but i don't like seeing ESPN and comparing Kobe to Jordan. IMO kobe is no where near jordan, yeah back in the 80's jordan might have been a ball hogger but once he learned the triangle offense that all changed. with a team playing in that kind of offense it's hard for any player to score even close to 81 points. kobe scores so much because he and the lakers suck at using the triangle so it's a one man team. the triangle offense is designed to share the ball around not just focus on one player. last but not least, kobe scoring 81 not only shows he's a great talent but it also shows the lakers as a team pretty much suck. don't talk to me about playoff when you need a 81 point preformance by kobe just to get by the Raptors. kobe scored more than the other lakers combined which shows the lack of talent and skill on that basketball team. playoffs yeah maybe but anywhere past the first round i don't see that happening. i must say it was impressive.

obviously u havent been watching them all year? lol crazy performance tho. im suprised Phil kept him in after he got to 72. As for whoever spoke on the playoffs...his team will need to do more to win then if they make it. Its obvious they will need a more complete team effort to win in the playoffs. u cant just count on Kobe to score half of your points every game, especially in the playoffs when you play 7 game series'.

WTF?...Kobe is just the primary offensive threat in the triangle offense, that doesn't mean the offense isn't running. And the Laker team defense is currently performing great, which you seemed to overlook...Jordan has shot well over 40 shots many times, before his prime, in his prime, and past his prime...He's never cracked 80 though...Not saying Kobe is better, but he's DEFINITELY the closest thing, and who knows what the future holds for him? Basically, the hate in here is digusting. Players like Iverson, LeBron, McGrady, Wilkins, Carter etc. dream of cracking 65, let alone 80...It's just amazing, nothing can follow that. Just amazing. Period.

Laker defense + Kobe offense = strong playoff team

i dunno about all that lol. i think on any given game, they can be dangerous. But like i said, and you know this, the playoffs are SUCH a different game then the regular season. Against a good defensive team, the clamps will be on the Lakers real tight. The idea, "we dont care if Kobe scores 45 points, because we'll hold the rest of the team to 35". One man wont win a playoff series...itll take the whole team, and to expect these guys to perform at that level for 4-7 games strait against an upper level team is too much. Especially if they play against an experienced playoff team. In a 7 game series...no way. I know youre a fan man, so its cool. But you gotta admit, thats getting a little ahead of yourself. Making it to the playoffs this year is an accomplishment for this team.
