Predict Kobe's Stats and How far Lakers Will Go This Season

[Calispursfan11]

Kobe

24.4 PPG

5.1 RB

4.6 Assts

1.1 Stls

3.9 TO

39.0 MPG

.448 FG%

.318 3pt%

.820 FT%

EFF 22.4


LAKERS have the ability to make the playoffs but early second round is their ceiling imho.

[Jodelo]

Would .448 FG% not be a career-high?

[irishock]

24 ppg on 22 shots
6 rebounds
5 assists

.430/.310/.800

[MeloHype]

23 pts, on 35 shot attempts with 38%

[StrengthAndHonor]

23.6 ppg 43% 4.0 rpg 3.2 apg 4.8 T0
47 wins. 8th seed.

[AchillesHeel]

32 ppg 5 reb 8 ast 46% FG 35% 3PT 1.8 spg 0.5 bpg

Don't underestimate the baby fetuses + someone will have to take shots on that team. Kirby actually did fine in the D'Antoni offense as it's a chucker's dream, you push the pace as much as possible so teams barely play defense, you get many open shots because defenses aren't set up, I think he'll do great and ESPN will be all over it, but what happens to the team come playoff time? I'd say WCF and losing to my Spurs in 4.

[AchillesHeel]

:lmao

[Mal]

He wont go over 40% FG. He`ll unload massive amount of fadeways, pumpfakes jumpers, and without athletism they will be heavily contested.

[Michael Jordan.]

Lakers will miss the playoffs

[TheGreatYacht]

Laker$ will squeeze into the playoffs with a little help from the ref$. The norm.

Only pussies & assholes blame the officiating.

[JamStone]

23 pts, on 35 shot attempts with 38%

Mathematical point of clarification: if Kobe took 35 shots a game and shot 38% from the field, he'd average 26.6 points with only taking 2 pointers (meaning that's with not taking and/or making any three pointers or free throws).

[JamStone]

With Dwight gone and not asking for more touches and with Pau firmly in suck-Kobe mode, his scoring should probably still be in the high 20s.

I'll go: 38 MPG, 27.1 PPG, 5.1 RPG, 4.4 APG, 43% FT, 34% 3PT%

Of course, his numbers will depend heavily on how healthy his Achilles is and how many minutes D'antoni decides to run him into the ground game in, game out.

Isn't it actually better if the lakers make the playoffs?

[lefty]

6/24

[Mori Chu]

He won't be the same player. 18 ppg on 41% shooting, he will play about 65 games max, and Lakers miss the playoffs.

[ElNono]

It's "chase the scoring title" season, IMO... how far the Lakers go won't be the priority...

[KaiRMD1]

I feel as though he's averaging far more assists in your prediction than is possible for an ol' sport like Kobe Bryant. Perhaps a 2.3 is more likely?

[DwayneSchintzius]

24PPG
43% shooting
6 Assists
5 Rebounds

Lakers lose in 1st or 2nd round.

[Rogue]

lakers don't have as good a squad talent-wise as the Pelicans but they will have Stern and refs on their side who're gonna guarantee them a playoff seat unless they intentionally choose to tank.

[FuzzyLumpkins]

I think the real question is whether or not Bryant or Nash play even 50 games. I am guessing the answer to that is no.

[TXstbobcat]

Lakers will compete for the 8 seed until the final weeks of the season. I think they will barely miss taking the 8 seed by 1 or 2 games.

Kobe will get his stats (23 or 24 points per game).

[Calispursfan11]

There is some variation but overall, it seems that most people still think Kobe is going to fill it up next year for better or for worse. It is clear that Kobe is into his stats, but he's also a winner. Maybe not the best teammate but he is a winner. Will be interesting if he truly packs it in simply to stuff stats in favor of winning. I just can't see Kobe doing that though. Time will tell.

[Floyd Pacquiao]

Bryant will probably put up some tosb numbers...I'd say about 14ppg on 40% shooting, 4 reb 2 ast, he won't even see the end of the season imho. his body is just done tbh.

As for the Lakers? lol yeah those old shitbags are done...they'll be lucky to see a day over 500.

[spurraider21]

24PPG
43% shooting
6 Assists
5 Rebounds

Lakers lose in 1st or 2nd round.

:lmao:rollin:lmao:rollin:lmao

holy shit :lmao

[Tim_duncan21]

Regular Season
26 points per game
5 rebs per game
3 assists per game

Playoffs
Swept 1st round

[Baseline]

11 pissed off teammates, 39 wins, 23 shots per game, 24 points per game, 39% shooting. Bryant leads his team to playoff...whiff. Two distinct possibilities: A) Another injury B) Another offense of the predatory nature. Oh, and because Farmar also likes to shoot, Bryant may strangle him at practice...even a practice that Bryant doesn't participate in because they're "saving him for the games."

[Clipper Nation]

DwayneSchintzius is pretty clearly a Lakerfan doing the tired old schtick of pretending to be a Spurfan, tbh....

The most ridiculous part of the 2nd round (:lmao:rollin:lmao) implies that they beat a top 2 seed in a 7 game series

[Rogue]

No offense to Kobe but imho his personal stats will turn out to be a reverse indicator of his team's record. When Kobe has to play hero ball and put up big numbers himself, the team will often lose while if the Kobe Johansson mode is on, his team will end up winning the game 9 out of 10 times.

[Venti Quattro]

6 championship rings.

[Arnold Toht]

6 championship rings.

Well, the rosters as of now has duncan ahead of Kobe in the race to title #6





Oh wait, Tim Duncan only has 4 rings? :lol

Is that not roughly what he shot last year? With Dwight gone, he is probably going to shoot a ton more, so where is the issue?

[Calispursfan11]

No doubt Kobe is a controversial figure and it is controversial whether at this point in his career he will help more than he hurts, but as much as I dislike the guy, I'm going to say his comeback energizes the revamped Lakers. It's almost like the championship years all over again but everyone is older and more broken down. Championship formula doesn't just go away even when the athleticism does. The chemistry will be there and the Lakers will surprise some folks I think. Plus I think Nash is going to do better this year if he can avoid injury and simply distribute to real teammates instead of whiny, gay primadonnas like D12.
