Kobe Bean Bryants Season Long Thread ppg/fg%

Kobe numbers recap analysis and grade for Gam4 @ Gst Warriors

36 minutes - 12/28 fg - 1/6 3pt - 3-6 fts - 6 rebs- 1 assts -  0 blk - 2 steals - 3 PF - 7 to - +/- -30 - 28 pts

# Kobe looked awful in the first half taking tough shots and turning over the ball way too much. 7 turnovers to 1 assts is flat out atrocious. I wish he would of taken the full game challenge of guarding Klay Thompson the entire game instead of moments. In the 3rd quarter kobe started to hit some incredulous shots from tough spots on the court. Like I said at the premise of this thread somebody let me know when kobe shoots over 50% from the field in a game. 12/28 is still too inefficient 28 shots to 28 pts is not going to cut in my opinion to give him anything higher than a C. His +/- on the court was -30 that is disgusting. Assessment of kobe after 4 games # He will be worn out by New Years # his shot volume is still high and he still is the sole creator on this team that can get his own shot

Overrall Grade # D- 

Kobe numbers recap analysis and grade for Game 5 vs Pheonix Suns

44 minutes - 14/37 fg - 3/7 3pt - 8-12 fts - 9 rebs- 1 assts -  1 blk - 1 steals - 0 PF - 3 to - +/- -5 - 39 pts

# Once again Kobe was not trusting his teammates and just gunning from all parts of the floor. He was whining to the officials the whole night. 37 shots 39 pts once again is a terrible ratio. The only positive part of his game was 9 rebs. he stunk defensively and gambled on passes and let guys get buy him. 3 turnovers and 1 assts was putrid and unacceptable. To take 37 shots and have 1 assists is absolutely mind boggling. That's almost impossible to do. Kobe look tired especially in the third quarter and he look worn down. 44 mins played is ridiculous I don't care if the lakers don't play until Sunday Byron scott is clueless in doing so and needs to stop drinking before the game. All in all I think this was kobe's worst game so far. He shot poorly from the field didn't guard anybody and he didn't get his teammates involved they were disengaged from the opening tip and just watching Kobe shoot especially in the fourth quarter.

Overrall Grade # F+ 

Kobe numbers recap analysis and grade for Game 6 vs Charlotte Hornets

34 minutes - 7/20 fg - 1/5 3pt - 6-7 fts - 6 rebs- 4 assts -  0 blk - 1 steals - 1 PF - 4 to - +/- +7 -  21 pts

# Kobe actually impressed me tonite with his defense and activity. Once again he was not efficient from the field which looks like its going to be a consistent montra on my recap each game. 4 assists and 4 turnover is not a good ratio. This was the first time all year that kobes +/- was in the green at +7. Like the fact that he had 6 rebs and he moved the ball around a bit more instead of just chucking up shot after shot. Kobe got to the ft line 7 times making 6 of them. Kobes offensive nite was nothing to go crazy about but his defense and his willingness to let other players be aggressive is the reason why I would consider it a decent nite for him.

Overrall Grade # C+

ppg 26.5/ fg% .394/ 3pt% .286/ ft% .765/ 5 rebs per game/ 3 assts per game/ 3.3 TO per game/ 1.5 steals per game

Kobe numbers recap analysis and grade for Game 7 @  Memphis Grizzlies

37 minutes - 10/26 fg - 3/10 3pt - 5-6 fts - 7 rebs- 6 assts -  0 blk - 4 steals - 3 PF - 3 to - +/- +8 -  28  pts

Recap # Kobe really impressed me tonite with his defense. He was very active getting 4 steals and could of easily had 6 steals but the refs were calling some tic y tac calls tonite. 7 rebs and 6 assts meant Kobe was engaged on more than just chucking shots despite shooting 26 times. Offensively he was still taking way too many bad shots and contested 3's. He was not efficient once again but he missed 2 layups and 3 bunnies which could of increased his efficiency. His +/- once again was in the green @ +8. My biggest problem with Kobe tonite was he shot 3/10 from 3. 10 three pointers is ridiculous and only 1 of them was a open look. Kobe would of gotten a stronger grade from me if he wasn't jacking up all them 3's. Overrall he hasn't played a better game defensively this year and Im huge on guys defending when I grade there performance

Overrall Grade # B-

Yes, but that would mean he has to take a lessor role and not be "the man" at all times. He would be a great help to any team playing a role like Ginobili but we all know it's never going to happen.

Kobe numbers recap analysis and grade for Game 8 @  New Orleans Pelicans

36 minutes - 10/28 fg - 5/11 3pt - 8-8 fts - 4 rebs- 5 assts -  0 blk - 1 steal - 1 PF - 1to - +/- -14 -  33  pts

recap # kobe came out like not only would he drop 50 but he would actually shoot over 50%. well after starting 6-9 from the field kobe missed 15 of his next 19 shots . He once gain jacked up a lot of 3's going 5-11 which is a great percentage but I would like to see him get to the basket more and create for his teammates instead of taking 28 shots # way to many. His 4 rebs & 5 assts is a normal avg game for kobe. I like the fact that he got to the line 8 times and made all 8 fts. Defensively I thought he was average and didn't show me the same energy I saw in the previous 2 games. He only had 1 steal and him and the rest of the lakers were pretty much inviting guys in the . lane and giving up easy dribble penetration. All in all it was another subpar performance from Kobe and once again a very inefficient shooting nite for the black mamba who still takes way too many tough and low percentage shots

Overrall Grade for the nite # D+  # Somebody let me know at what game this  season will Kobe shoot over 50% # my guess is game 46 @ Ny Knicks he always shoots well there

Kobe numbers recap analysis and grade for Game 9 vs  San Antonio Spurs

36 minutes - 1/14 fg - 0/5 3pt - 7-9 fts - 4 rebs- 6 assts -  1 blk - 2 steal - 1 PF - 1to - +/- -16 -  9  pts

recap # To much is given much is required so I could give a rats A$$ if Kobe was feeling terrible Friday nite vs Spurs when im grading his performance. This was one of the worst games ive seen in Kobes 19 year career tenure. 9 pts on 1/14 fg doesn't truly tell the entire story. His threes were not even close and his legs looked like gelatin going 0 for 5 from 3. Defensively he was lazy and lethargic fighting around screens and contesting jumpshooters. Kobes body language was terrible and his +/- -16 was the true indicator of his impact on the Game which was zero. The only positive from Kobe tonite was his 6 assts other than that he was God awful

Overrall Grade for the nite # F+ the only reason why I didn't give him a F- is because he had 2 blocks 1 steal and 6 assists

Kobe numbers recap analysis and grade for Game 10 vs Golden State Warriors

31 minutes - 15-34fg - 3/12 3pt - 11-16 fts - 5 rebs- 3 assts -  0 blk - 0 steal - 3 PF - 2 to - +/- -34 -  44  pts

recap # Kobe was in jack mode from the outset cause the Lakers were clearly outclassed but 34 fg to 3 assts is pretty incredible. 12 3pt attempts is crazy also. Kobe pretty much neglected his teammates and said im a try to get 60 tonite. His =/- was -34 which is truly terrible. I will give him credit for dropping 44 in a blowout but defensively once again just like the other lakers Kobe's defense was nonexistent.

Overrall Grade for the nite # D  Everybody knows Kobe can drop buckets but other than the 44 his entire game stunk
