Know it all ingles hey. What about your wonder boy Harden. Clutch today hey.

Remember you said lakers wouldn't make playoffs, wouldn't finish higher than rockets. Wow you're continually wrong. Someone who posts a lot, you really know jack.

Harden ave 25.9 @ 44.0% with 4.8 re and 5.9 ass

Kobe ave 27.3 @ 46.3% with 5.6 re and 6.0 as

So Kobe was more efficient from the field with more rebounding and assists. Kobe also prob had more double and triple teams to contend with.

For a shit team with an over rated player, they seemed to finish ABOVE the Rockets, and Kobe played BETTER than Harden. Harden, your CLUTCH boy CHOKED!

During Shaq's 8 years with the Lakers the team actually had a better record when Kobe didn't play versus when he did lol

somebody please link me to where I stated the Lakers wouldn't make the playoffs and they would finish below the rockets. Please.

Lol @ bringing up individual stats instead of advanced stats. Rookie confirmed.

If you're going to troll this thread and turn it into a Kobe vs Harden debate, you will lose every time

Using FG% is nice, but why not TS% ? Is it because Harden has a higher TS% than Kobe? .602 > .570. Lol at saying Kobe is more efficient but not bringing up their TS%. Harden also has a much higher PER, despite having a lot less talent around him.

And don't compare the LACK of help Harden has on the rockets compared to Kobe. Gasol, Dwight, Nash are all better than ANYBODY on the rockets roster.

Without Harden, the rockets would be a 20-25 win team and that is not debatable.

The Lakers were 4-1 without Kobe this season. There is no need to be upset that Kobe Bryant has been exposed this year as very very neutral when it comes to winning games. The Lakers are a MUCH better team when the offense runs through Pau and Howard, creating open 3 point shooters everywhere. And yes, I've watched every single dribble of the last 3 lakers games.

4-1 without kobe, and that doesn't even include the game against GS where the lakers were down when he got injured, BUT won in the CLUTCH despite not having God Kobe to win them the game.

4-1 without kobe
1-0 in spite of kobe
40-36 WITH kobe

The lakers got to the playoffs without Nash for most off the season, no bench, lost hill, change of coaches and systems, Gasol out for periods and a Howard who has only just played committed ball. Yet still made it.

Also harden has it easier in a way as he gets a more spread floor and one on ones. He also gets a lots of bs calls too.

Not turning into Kobe v harden just know you're a douche Kobe hater. Don't tell me you didn't post this as a Kobe hate. So my point is you love a SG who's numbers arent better and hasn't won a ring.

Yes you're right the offense does run better without Kobe. I can only dream, like in last two games without Kobe, that this better offense continues to shoot 36% from the floor. Hmmm how many playoff series are won shooting 36%? I wouldn't think many, but ingles would take it.

1. Numbers ARE better. You're just looking at pointless stats like PPG and the like. Check their clutch stats, their TS%, win shares and advanced stats. There's a reason advanced metrics are taking over in the NBA.

2. No rings in 3 years, really his fault. How many did Kobe have after 3 years? oh that's right. 0.

3. Harden might have a more spread floor, but he has NOWHERE near the interior presence of Dwight Howard and Pau Gasol (both top 20 players in the league). I'd take Dwight and Pau over any single rockets player if I was trying to WIN

4. Don't bring up the coaching changes, injuries etc. A few teams sacked their coaches or they had to leave for family reasons. And injuries are a part of every team. The Pacers lost their (previously) best player for basically the entire season and finished #3. The knicks had a multitude of injuries to nearly all of their players and they stayed #2.

The rockets were 43-35 when Harden played this season. In the 4 games he missed, they went 2-2.

Lakers: 4-1 without Kobe
Rockets: 2-2 without Harden

and find me an advanced stat that Kobe leads Harden in

It's amusing that you're trying to say that Kobe is overrated whilst using numbers from his 17th season in the NBA. 17 seasons in the league, most players don't even reach 7. Then you're using those numbers and comparing them to someone (Harden) who is just entering his prime. Unbelievable...

Harden is 23, he won't hit his prime for 3-4 seasons but Kobe is by no means over rated, he is top 5 all time and to still be in MVP discussions after nearly 20 years in the league really says it all.

I think sometimes teams like the lakers play above their potential when kobe is not playing, (inspirational basketball) however if Kobe was to miss 20-30 games in a row i would think that they would be lucky to be a .500 team. Just my opinion but I reckon that this will stand out against the spurs and if the spurs sweep they will be 4-5 without Kobe.

What were the lakers odd vs the spurs/OKC in the playoffs before the kobe injury?
I would have given them a 4-2 loss to SA (they're banged up ATM)and a 4-1 loss to OKC with that single win being a refball game (just like game 3 vs okc last year).

I now give them a LEGIT shot vs the spurs to advance. Infact, If their odds for the series are $2.40+ I'm probably gonna chuck my entire betting account on them to win

@ingle13

Maybe Kobe is overated these days.. His season stats lower than Harden. Oh dear. You do mean season stats right? Not playoff stats. Or the stats you can't measure in a championship playoff game when it comes to THAT MOMENT, when a player has to pickup and carry a game when it most matters. When commodities such as desire, persistence, hunger, determination, will, shall I go on, etc. can be measured then stats might mean something. Maybe we can ask MJ or Kobe how we could measure those.

The answer will probably lie on their fingers (yes plural)

So if Harden is soooo much better than Kobe, he should be able to take the Thunder to 7 games. Remember Kobe and the lakers did it against the suns. Kobe had Parker, brown, Walton, grant and bunch of other scrubs on his team. Harden has a way better group so they should take out the series.

So you mention pointless stats like PPG inlges. You do realise that the team that scores the most, wins? So points in a game isnt pointless.

I don't need your advanced stats to tell me whose better. Didn't have those stats when magic, bird, Thomas, Shaq, Olajuwon were around, just knew they were good.

I have a feeling that the greatest laker of all time will be known and remembered more than Harden. I'm not a harden hater, just a douche hater (insert ingles here)

SG job is to shoot so Kobe averages more points. Also isn't it better to shoot these points at a higher percentage? Kobe does that better. Oh he also grabs more boards and dishes more assists than harden. Hmmm interesting.

Bringing up lakers v suns cause Kobe single handedly got the lakers and nearly upset the number one suns. Hardens in a better position now so he should at least do the same, shouldn't he?

I also see you avoided the curry question I asked.

Once again, kobetards turning this into a Harden v Kobe debate, when this topic is about Kobe's NEGATIVE impact on his team this season. Troll's gonna troll. Has Harden ever played with HOF big men like shaq, Gasol, Bynum or Dwight? Simple answer. No.

I feel guilty falling into the troll bait you kobetards are throwing because you can't accept that Kobe is OVER RATED.

When was the last superstar who won it alone ingles?

Magic had Kareem
Bird had a stacked team
Jordan had pippen and rodman
Duncan had Robinson then Parker
Shaq had Kobe
04 pistons had a stacked team with a veteran coach
Shaq had wade
Dirk had a stacked team filling every position
Lebron couldn't do it till wade and bosh

Ingles13 you are such a sour individual who gets on public forums to cry about men who have done more with their life taking a shit in the bathroom than you could EVER accomplish.

Give it up dick, of course LA are going to step up their season hopes are on the line.

Without Kobe this year LA would win 35 games and miss the playoffs
