Yet, there is nothing telling us if the teams won or loss when comparing Kobe.&amp;nbsp;  Doesn't that matter?&amp;nbsp; Most?&amp;nbsp; Especially from a person who always references the basketball gods.&amp;nbsp; Do us that favor Henry (and John Schumann, and 82games.com).&amp;nbsp;  I'm not going to dispute your numbers, and I think your argument is valid.&amp;nbsp;  I also don't know what the Lakers' win percentage is in these situations.&amp;nbsp;  But you owe it to your readers to give us the most crucial piece of information of these situations.&amp;nbsp; Does the team win?)&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
