Big Qs: Kobe vs. T-Mac


 The Big Qs
Every day, Monday thru Friday, SportsNation will have the Big Qs for you, ripped from today's headlines. (For a fast take on the day's stories, check out
The Daily Quickie.)

Kobe Bryant scored 41 points last night ... and then he told his teammates he was sorry. Kobe apologized on behalf of his distracting little streak. King-Kob may seem like a well-oiled scoring machine, but he was 13 of 34 from the floor, missing 18 of 24 jump shots, including each of his last six. Is he forcing 40?

Give us your thoughts on today's Kobe Qs, submit your answers, and see how they stack up with those of the other citizens of SportsNation.
  • 1) Kobe Bryant has put together nine straight 40-point games. When will the streak end?
  • 2) As Dan Shanoff points out in The Daily Quickie, Kobe shot 4 for 19 in the second half last night, including 0 for 6 in the last five minutes, and he admitted he was trying to score 40 (he got 41, the last two on free throws). Would Kobe jeopardize a team win to keep his 40-point streak alive?
  • 3) Kobe's got his scoring streak, while Tracy McGrady had 56 points on Friday night, and 46 on Sunday (with 13 assists and 10 rebounds). Who's playing better?
  • 4) The scoring race has T-Mac at 31.4, with Kobe at 30.8. Who will win the scoring title?
  • 5) With 27 games left in their regular season, the Lakers are in 7th in the Western Conference, three games behind the Jazz and five games behind the Blazers and T-Wolves. However, they are just a game out of the lottery. Where will they finish the season?
