Kobe NEEDS to sit and heal his hand. I say he plays it out until All Star weekend. If the hand doesn't heal during the break he should rest so that he is ready for the playoffs.
Agree. 45% is not bad considering Kobe is a volume shooter.
We'll see how it goes. I have'nt seen Kobe this bad. Normally law of averages would even it out. But this has been Kobe's worst shooting slump.
If his injury does not get better, I think he'll probably end up at 43% at the end of the season.

I would love for that to happen.
I want to see Bynum, Gasol, and Odom break out and have great games and put the Lakers on a nice winning streak.
Perhaps Kobe refusing to sit is because he is scared he will be exposed that the Lakers don't need him to be good. With Kobe, they are better, but ....
Bynum, Gasol, and Odom
SoftBig3, 1st round exit at best.
i don't think they can make the 1st round unless LA is in the east. They'll have to beat teams like spurs, suns, grizz for the 8th spot in the west, just impossible
From Slam Dumb
Just pointing out, maybe the NBA doesn't have a love affair for Kobe after all.
hopefully someone takes this piece of out (on the floor) ... come on Kenyon Martin or James Posey.. end his career.
From your posts you seem like you want the Lakers to lose badly. If you want that to happen then the best chance of that happening is when Kobe keeps playing, instead of healing up.
...and over the past month or so his FG% is slipping, now it's at .458. By the end of the year I expect it to be around .41 or so because he's a chucker and is also averaging lows in assist. All the weapons on his team and he still wants to be nothing more than a volume shooter.
3 fingered Kobe is still at 46%?
Imagine what 4 finger Kobe can do.
Amazing.
Kobe can shoot man
Too bad he still hasn't realized he has offense options all around him but he'd rather get that scoring le I guess.
If I were Kobe, I wouldnt pass the ball to Farmar or Walton in late game situations
3 fingered Kobe takes 30 shots per game?
Imagine if he were an efficient scorer.
Amazing.
Kobe shooting at 46% is still better than most shooting guards.
If he were shooting in the 30's, he should pass the ball.
Kobe is at 46% shooting, that's more efficient than most 5 fingered shooting guards.
Amazing.
Of all guards he's #18 right now out of 44 and like I said at his current rate he'll be around 30 or so by season's end and that's being generous.
About 45%
On January he's averaging 39% from the field and yet he's taking more than 22 shots per game this month. What's your excuse for this?
Kobe has never led guards like Nash and CP3 in scoring percentage even in his MVP year.
#18 on 3 fingers and leading all guards in scoring is actually quite good.
Kobe shooting 20-22 shots a game is fine. Injured or not, he has to be the first option.
It's those 30 shots per game which is not good and should be criticized for.
This thread has Troll written all over it. Let the games begin!
19,147 (Don't think it is updated yet), closing in on 20,000 on field goal attempts. What a career milestone it would be for Kobe Bryant.
Kobe averages 1.5 more points than Wade in 2.2 more shots attempts, so no it's actually not that good.
You should post the list.
