I seem to remember earlier in the Grammy trip, Stu Lantz and Billy Mac mentioned something about Kobe's elbow. Is it hurt? Is that the reason he is passing so much?

I don't think his elbow is bothering him. He just took too many long shots.

It's hard to get into a rhythm when you're shooting significantly less than normal, Kobe even mentioned this earlier.

his elbow claims were from the dunk vs pistons. he just is not thinking like Kobe normally does. he is dialed in on over passing & its messing up his scoring. 15 gms & counting now no 30pt performances. SMFH just pitiful. No matter if he trying to boost moral & coddle these weak minded players he has to get back to being himself. his elbow fine = he just missing easy shots. stop always backing your man down also. face your man up & just dribble past him & pull up for midrange. everything doesnt have to be in backdown fashion. (im sick of this!)

Or maybe not enough, from the Suns' perspective.

He Sprained his elbow on a dunk in Detroit, but no that's not the reason he's passing so much. It makes us a wayyyy better team when he passes, but he's overdoing it lol

Yea..I actually think the elbow is why he didn't shoot much yesterday...but For some reason the only way we can win games is if Kobe spoonfeeds everyone...so that's what he's doing.

Kobe was asked if his sore R elbow has anything to do with his outside shot being off (1 for his last 30 from 3): “A little bit.”

If we win a game where Kobe only scores 4 points why find something to complain about?
Edited by Majesty, February 13, 2013 - 01:21 PM.
If we somehow land Dwight Howard AND Nash (which is one of the biggest reaches I've posted, don't think that will happen), then yeah...I have no problem with it, because Howard won't allow anyone to take Nash off the dribble 30+ minutes a game.
You should reach more often

Cuz I need my Kobe highlights & games for the archives collection! This season is 1 of the worst for me even wanting to download Laker games for my collection. Kobe will be gone sooner than later so I want to enjoy the present & have the games on external hardrives seperated by each season for the future. Glad they won but it should have never came down to the way things unfolded. Kobe needs to just be himself.

You're joking right?
The game changes, the players turnover, but the Mamba remains a constant!

why do u like to watch kobe put up a pathetic gm like last 1?
is Kobes supporting cast not weak minded in your opinion?
Do you not think Kobe is backing his man down it seems like on almost every attempt when he is making an offensive move? Kobe can take his man face up off the dribble still today so he needs to go back to that some & mix in his back down post game.

I wasn't complaining. I just was curious because his 3 pointers have been off and he doesn't look confident in his jumper or FTs
