son I think you mean 22 points .... he only scored 22 legit points. the refs put him at the free throw line 19 times resulting in 15 FREEBIE points to help inflate his scoring numbers.

Like when Kobe shot 17 to squeak out the win in game 3? Even if you don't count any of his points from free throws, he still had by far a better game than Kobe has EVER had in a must-win situation since becoming the #1 guy in LA.

LeBron did get some help, but superstars often do, especially at home.
What I don't get is why baseline bum has to bash Kobe. What's the point? LeBron played great. Has nothing to do with Kobe except you feel like you need to hate on him just because.

Because Kobe sucks in elimination games and Laker fans should see how a real superstar carries his team in a must-win.

You really are obsessed with Kobe aren't you? I see you poke shots at the guy in just about every thread you can. It's obvious your lashing out at him in response to some deep seeded anger you have. Seek professional help.
At the end of the day, Kobe's team is up 3-2 with HCA to close out the series. YOUR team is currently fishing and likely will never see the NBA Finals ever again in the near future. But go ahead and talk shit if it makes you feel better.

LeBron doesn't have a lot of help. That's definitely true. But, I think you forget how bad Kobe's teammates were in 2005-06 and 2006-07.
Lamar Odom is a good player. The rest of the supporting cast that were in the regular rotation: Smush Parker, Luke Walton, Kwame Brown, Brian Cook, Chris Mihm, Maurice Evans, Vladimir Radmanovic. Smush, Walton, and Kwame were starters for much of those two years.
In the Western Conference.
At least LeBron has been given consistent three point shooting with his supporting cast. He's also been given tough big men who aren't afraid to bang. And, while they are older and not the same players they used to be, LeBron has teammates that have been all star talents and starters on great teams. Kobe's teammates those two years were neither talented nor experienced nor former winners. And again, in the Western Conference.

Kobe in elimination games since becoming option #1 in LA:
Since taking over as alpha-dog for the Lakers, this is Kobe's record in elimination games:
1) 2003 WCSF Game 6 (LOSS) : SPURS 110, Lakers 82
20 points, 9-19 FG, 2 rebounds, 6 assists, 1 steal, 0 blocks, 7 turnovers
2) 2004 Finals Game 5 (LOSS): Lakers 87, PISTONS 100
24 points, 7-21 FG, 3 rebounds, 4 assists, 1 steal, 0 blocks, 3 turnovers
3) 2006 WCQF Game 7 (LOSS): Lakers 90, SUNS 121
24 points, 8-16 FG, 4 rebounds, 1 assist, 0 steals, 1 block, 3 turnovers
4) 2007 WCQF Game 5 (LOSS): Lakers 110, SUNS 119
34 points, 13-33 FG, 4 rebounds, 1 assist, 1 steal, 0 blocks, 6 turnovers
5) 2008 Finals Game 6 (LOSS): Lakers 92, CELTICS 131
22 points, 7-22 FG, 3 rebounds, 1 assist, 1 steal, 0 blocks, 4 turnovers
6) 2009 WCSF Game 7 (WIN): Rockets 70, LAKERS 89
14 points, 4-12 FG, 7 rebounds, 5 assists, 3 steals, 2blocks, 1 turnover
AVERAGES:
23.0 PPG
3.83 REBOUNDS
3.00 ASSISTS
39.0% FG%
1.17 STEALS
0.500 BLOCKS
4.00 TURNOVERS
PER: 14.0
I don't usually like to put a lot of stock into the PER, but an elite player doing that horribly on it is unreal. To put it in perspective, here's a list of players average PER this season in the 14.0 +/- 0.25 range:
RANK PLAYER PER
==== =============== =======
112 Chris Duhon 14.25
113 Wilson Chandler 14.18
114 Tyrus Thomas 14.10
115 Tyson Chandler 14.09
116 Al Thornton 14.04
117 Ronnie Brewer 14.02
118 Randy Foye 14.00
118 Spencer Hawes 14.00
120 Andrei Kirilenko 13.85
121 Brendan Haywood 13.83
122 Eric Gordon 13.80
123 Joakim Noah 13.78
1-5 in elimination games as the man and production on par with Ronnie Brewer, Randy Foye, and Spencer Hawes? Clearly, he is not the big game player he's hyped to be. I remember the way Duncan was absolutely crucified by the media for his 14/10/4 and 16/16/2 games, injured, against the Pistons in 05. Yet everyone blames Kobe's teammates when he doesn't come to play. Kobe's a hell of a player, but he is clearly not the guy you count on with your backs against the wall. Not a single one of those performances in elimination games would be considered a good much less great performance.

Lakers win one of the 3 talent wise
Kobe and West play same spot and Kobe is a lot better.
Luke and LBJ play same spot and LBJ is light years better.
SO if you really compare the talent... this years Cav's are far superior to the Lakers then.
Difference is... then it was all about how Kobe is a ball hog. How Kobe doesnt trust his teamates so how could they perform if he doesnt. etc
For Lebron, it's he doesn't have the cast to do it. Yet, they finished with the best record in the league and the #1 seed. Kobe's team then finished with the 7th seed and took a contending Suns team to 7 games.

I'm the last person to get on LeBron's case. I think he's doing great.
But to compare his 5 All-Star team to the Smush Parker & Kwame Brown Lakers is ridiculous.
It's on LeBron to keep his team running and NOT playing like Smush Parker...that's on him as a leader.
If he can get his team to 66 wins but can't stop them from choking in the Playoffs, there's no excuse other than LeBron isn't ready to get his team to a Championship.
In all of NBA history, there's like 10 teams that have ever won 66 games, that is a good team...just not good enough. Lots of people had the Cavs as favorites to win the Ring after their 1st and 2nd round sweeps.
a triple double with 37 points in an elimination game is pretty damn impressive. too bad lebron isn't getting to the finals with a cast of mo williams and friends.

since garnett went down, everyone knew this season was the lakers to take. even moderate resistance was taken away when ginobili, mcgrady, yao, and nelson went down. all the hype around cavs and lakers final fail to reveal that the lakers are far more talented than the cavs. that's why james is MVP, he did more with less. sadly for him, the playoffs contain more intensity where he needs a legitimate all star next to him.

I don't disagree about this year, it's the Smush/Kwame years I disagree about. That was a D-league team back then and far less talented than the Cavaliers of the last 5 years.

People aren't trashing Lebron because they dislike Lebron. It's more because of the media and the NBA for creating a hype around him that is not justified. Glorifying his accomplishments when his team is actually down 3-2 in a series and on the brink of elimination.

As great as the stats that Lebron puts up, it almost feels ugly and unnatural to watch him hold the ball for 20 seconds and go 1 vs. 5 for an entire quarter. Almost like the spirit of the game and the team play that should be happening is being violated. Just my thoughts.

It was working though and thats why I have no idea why Orlando didn't double at the top and make him give up the ball. I mean that's just common sense IMO. Make ANYBODY ELSE but Lebron create something but Orlando just let him stand at the top with one on one coverage the entire quarter and looke what happened.

The least you could do if you are going to put up stats is to put up correct stats. In that 06 series, Odom averaged 19 points, 11 rebounds, and 4.9 assists against the Suns.
As for Kobe in their one elimination game in that 06 series, Kobe's teammates shot 32% from the field and 21% from three point range. I know Kobe quit on them in the second half, but look at what his teammates were giving him. No excuse for Kobe punking out, but it was clear his teammates weren't good back then.
In tonight's elimination game for the Cavs, LeBron's teammates shot 52% from the field and 56% from three point range. If you're going to talk about the supporting casts, then it's important to note that LeBron's supporting cast stepped up tonight while Kobe's supporting cast failed him in that 06 series against Phoenix that you brought up.

I don't disagree about this year, it's the Smush/Kwame years I disagree about. That was a D-league team back then and far less talented than the Cavaliers of the last 5 years.
This year's Cavs are legit contenders, they just ran into the worst possible matchup in the NBA.
There is one huge difference though. This argument is about Kobe in close out games or elimination games. The evidence is in the numbers that Kobe's clutch numbers, which show in the biggest games like elimination games, are way below par.
Lebron's are not. That is the argument.
Even if you say Lebron's talent is equal (maybe not this year but the previous 4) to the Kobe team with Smush, LO, Kwame...there is another difference. Lebron took his team to a final, Kobe quit on his and got bounced in the first round twice and missed the playoffs entirely once.

He also would not have quit on his team and Kobe would not have taken Big Z, Sasha Pavlovic, Larry Hughes and Drew Gooden to a finals.
That year, in the playoffs, the next leading scorer on the Cavs was Big Z at 12.6, then Gooden at 11.4, the Hughes at 11.3
Next to Kobe, he had Odom at 19.4, Kwame at 8.6 and Walton at 7.2.
The big 3 for Lebron averaged 35.3, the big 3 for Kobe averaged 35.2

It's because of you guys, you annoying fucks.
I love Kobe. I despise Kobe fans.
However I will say this... I don't know who I despise more... Kobe fans or Jordan fans... the only thing about Jordan fans are that Jordan accomplished a lot and is the GOAT. But Jordan fans think he was Jesus or something, completely fucking flawless, and just remember all his highlights, which is what is so damn annoying about them.

As great as the stats that Lebron puts up, it almost feels ugly and unnatural to watch him hold the ball for 20 seconds and go 1 vs. 5 for an entire quarter. Almost like the spirit of the game and the team play that should be happening is being violated. Just my thoughts.
Unfortunately, that is the product of Mike Brown's piss-poor coaching. Not Lebron. And at least someone last night after a while started to say "fuck it" and make a cut for Lebron while he made a move and drew the double (Anderson) and it made things a whole hell of a lot easier on Lebron. I have no problem with the team clearing out and letting Lebron take it up top, but they need start having baseline cutters and rotation on the 3 point line once he starts to make his move. When they do the clear out, the focus should not be on Lebron scoring, but rather for him to create, and if the scoring opportunity is there, to take it. But Mike Brown has his head too far up his fat fucking ass to realize that.

I think what people don't realize, is that a lot of fans don't really hate Kobe the way that people think. It's that they hate Kobe fans. Kobe fans are the most obnoxious fanbase on the face of the earth, and they are the answer to their own question... "why all the Kobe hate?"
It's because of you guys, you annoying fucks.
I love Kobe. I despise Kobe fans.
However I will say this... I don't know who I despise more... Kobe fans or Jordan fans... the only thing about Jordan fans are that Jordan accomplished a lot and is the GOAT. But Jordan fans think he was Jesus or something, completely fucking flawless, and just remember all his highlights, which is what is so damn annoying about them.
do you think this thread helped calming Kobe fans down. this thread was plain dumb. Lebron did a great thing and iOP had to compared it to Kobe. No wonder Lakers fans have to defend Kobe.

He also would not have quit on his team and Kobe would not have taken Big Z, Sasha Pavlovic, Larry Hughes and Drew Gooden to a finals.
That year, in the playoffs, the next leading scorer on the Cavs was Big Z at 12.6, then Gooden at 11.4, the Hughes at 11.3
Next to Kobe, he had Odom at 19.4, Kwame at 8.6 and Walton at 7.2.
The big 3 for Lebron averaged 35.3, the big 3 for Kobe averaged 35.2
I thought this was a sarcastic post except for the post above it appears you're being serious. Your argument that Kobe had a better supporting cast in 06 compared to the 07 Cavs is that Kobe's main supporting cast averaged 35.2 ppg while LeBron's main supporting cast averaged 35.3 ppg in their respective playoff runs??? Please tell me you're not serious with that argument.
Additionally, no guarantee that Kobe could have taken Zydrunas, Pavlovic, Hughes, and Gooden to the finals, but it's no guarantee he wouldn't have been able to either in the Eastern Conference.

Where did I say they were better? I said it was comparable as evidenced by the scoring help that both received.
I do not care if it was the EC, Detroit still had a good team and should not have lost to Cleveland. No way with the effort Kobe put forth with his squad, could he have mustered up the will to get to an ECF and then beat Detroit. Could it have happened, maybe. Was it likely? Given the evidence of how Lebron performs when he is not happy with his supporting cast vs Kobe, I would have to say no.
Allanon

There is one huge difference though. This argument is about Kobe in close out games or elimination games. The evidence is in the numbers that Kobe's clutch numbers, which show in the biggest games like elimination games, are way below par.
Lebron's are not. That is the argument.
I missed this conversation. I'm only commenting on the Smush/Kwame Lakers versus LeBron's cast. Obviously LeBron's cast has been vastly better than Kobe's for the last 5 years or so.
Even if you say Lebron's talent is equal (maybe not this year but the previous 4) to the Kobe team with Smush, LO, Kwame...there is another difference. Lebron took his team to a final, Kobe quit on his and got bounced in the first round twice and missed the playoffs entirely once.
I did not say LeBron's talent was equal...I said it was far superior to Smush/Kwame/Luke.
lEastern Conference Finals sweep is what LeBron was able to do with 1 All Star by his side. Kobe got to the Playoff in a much more powerful Western Conference. Kobe missing the Playoffs after Shaq got traded is not surprising at all.
The best teams during that time came from the West...the Suns and Mavs also would have swept the Cavs. The same Suns that knocked out the Lakers would have won the Championship if not for the Amare/Boris suspensions. Everybody knew it was going to be Spurs/Suns or Mavs.
So for the Lakers to get knocked out in the first round versus a pretty awesome Suns team is no shame at all. Neither was it for Lebron to get swept, but I can't say one accomplishment was greater than the other.
Nor, as Jamstone says, could you say what Kobe would or would not have done with that same team in the lEast.
As for LeBron quitting, let's give him 3 more years of losing and then let's see if he's still the perfect Cavalier. I'd be disappointed in LeBron if he doesn't leave Cleveland in 2010 or knock some heads around if he stays a Cavalier.

The least you could do if you are going to put up stats is to put up correct stats. In that 06 series, Odom averaged 19 points, 11 rebounds, and 4.9 assists against the Suns.
As for Kobe in their one elimination game in that 06 series, Kobe's teammates shot 32% from the field and 21% from three point range. I know Kobe quit on them in the second half, but look at what his teammates were giving him. No excuse for Kobe punking out, but it was clear his teammates weren't good back then.
In tonight's elimination game for the Cavs, LeBron's teammates shot 52% from the field and 56% from three point range. If you're going to talk about the supporting casts, then it's important to note that LeBron's supporting cast stepped up tonight while Kobe's supporting cast failed him in that 06 series against Phoenix that you brought up.

Thanks for the awesome reply. You helped prove my point. Eastern Conference sucked ass. Lebron wouldnt have gotten Kobe's 2005, 2006 and 2007 past the first round in the West.

Somehow, I do believe you dont understand the importance of defense. You keep insisting on their offense, when offense was not Cleveland's strongest suit. Cavs had a 101.4 rating efficiency in 06-07. (4th in the league).
Yes but defense is less about talent as it is about heart and effort. The Lakers teams, just like this year, have all the ability to defend when they want to.
It is up to your coach and leader to make sure you do it every night. That would be like saying Bruce Bowen has more talent than Odom because of defense thrown into consideration.

I defy you to find me a worse supporting cast that Lebron has had to play with.
I'm not even arguing that Kobe did more with his cast than Lebron did. I think Lebron is a better player than Bryant and can get more out of his teammates than Kobe can. But to say that Kobe at any point in the '05/06 seasons had more help than Lebron is downright insane.

The least you could do if you are going to put up stats is to put up correct stats. In that 06 series, Odom averaged 19 points, 11 rebounds, and 4.9 assists against the Suns.
As for Kobe in their one elimination game in that 06 series, Kobe's teammates shot 32% from the field and 21% from three point range. I know Kobe quit on them in the second half, but look at what his teammates were giving him. No excuse for Kobe punking out, but it was clear his teammates weren't good back then.
In tonight's elimination game for the Cavs, LeBron's teammates shot 52% from the field and 56% from three point range. If you're going to talk about the supporting casts, then it's important to note that LeBron's supporting cast stepped up tonight while Kobe's supporting cast failed him in that 06 series against Phoenix that you brought up.
My bad. I accidentally divided the numbers by 6 games instead of 7. Odom still beats the hell out of anyone James has next to him; those numbers still kill anything he's gotten in the way of support this series, so Kobe nuthuggers can quit with this talk that he had nothing and James has this great cast backing him.

Where did I say they were better? I said it was comparable as evidenced by the scoring help that both received.
I do not care if it was the EC, Detroit still had a good team and should not have lost to Cleveland. No way with the effort Kobe put forth with his squad, could he have mustered up the will to get to an ECF and then beat Detroit. Could it have happened, maybe. Was it likely? Given the evidence of how Lebron performs when he is not happy with his supporting cast vs Kobe, I would have to say no.
Ok, my mistake. However, I will add this. Why do you stop at three players? Are the games played 4-on-4 with no substitutions? Kobe had one very solid player to help him. When Kwame Brown and Luke Walton are your third and fourth best players on your team, that should tell you something. Additionally, it wasn't only about who else was scoring for that 06 Lakers team in the playoffs against the Suns. The Suns shot 49% from the field for the series. For 7 games, they basically shot 50%. That's because Luke Walton and Smush Parker and Kwame Brown were the guys on defense. They shot 40% from three point range as a team. As a team. Not only were Kobe's teammates underwhelming on offense, they were horrible on defense.
You can't say to a certainty if Kobe was on that Cavs team, he wouldn't have done something similar to LeBron. He probably doesn't, but it's no guarantee.
And did you miss the 2007 Finals? A dejected LeBron James in an elimination game against the Spurs went 10-for-30 from the field, 2-for-6 from the free throw line, and had 6 turnovers at home in game 4. When you're frustrated with your teammates and you're playing a team you know is going to beat you, it sucks. Given that game, should we expect LeBron to shoot 33% from the field and the free throw line and turn the ball over like a hot potato in the next game or if it ends up going 7? No, of course not. Because each situation, each playoff scenario, each opponent presents different variables to different players. Kobe has had his share of failures. There is no doubt about that. So has LeBron. LeBron gets glorified for every little thing he does right. And, Kobe gets criticized for every little thing he does wrong. But, that's what goes along with being a superstar. I just think it's silly to try to compare the two in terms of who has had better supporting casts or try to dissect every little qualification and factor to try to skew an argument for or against either player. Kobe gets no credit for the 2000-2002 titles because of Shaq. It's like his play in those title runs don't factor at all to Kobe haters. His extreme selfish performances of quitting on his team in game 7 of the 2006 Phoenix series and ego trip in the 2004 Finals are always the bottom line for how he is as a player with no qualifiers. He gets bashed for getting beat by the Celtics last year even though Gasol and Odom were no-shows (and I know they put up decent stats, but anyone who watched the Finals know their stats aren't indicative of how poorly and how soft they played), while LeBron gets swept in the Finals and is lauded because his teammates sucked.

Consider the defensive end where they made Tim Thomas and Eddie House look like Larry Bird and Jerry West. Odom was good. It's still not easy to play basically 2-on-5. Luke Walton guarding Marion or Diaw? With no Amare, Kwame had to guard either James Jones, Boris Diaw, or Marion too. Lol, yeah, I'm sure he enjoyed that. That Suns match-up for the 2006 Lakers is similar to this Orlando match-up for the current Cavaliers. They just couldn't match up with the small ball line-up Phoenix put out there. Four of the Suns perimeter players shot over 50% from the field for the series. Perimeter players. That's ridiculous.
James didn't have help in 2007, agreed. But, while Odom was a good player, that's about all Kobe had in 2006. And, those Lakers just couldn't match up with that Suns team. James had one outstanding series against a good team in Detroit to cement the legacy of that 2007 playoffs, and in fact it was really only 1 game, game 5 where he had those 48 points and 25 consecutive points to close out the game. Daniel Gibson actually was the difference in game 6. LeBron shot 3-for-11 in the close out game 6. LeBron actually had 2 good games in terms of carrying the offense in the 6 games against Detroit in the 2007 ECF.
So while he's a great, great player, the best player in the league right now, it's a little funny how his legend was established by one unbelievable, incredible performance in the fourth quarter and two overtime sessions of one game in a playoff run that ended with his team getting swept in the Finals.

Yeah, Kobe cock suckers are annoying. But, Kobe haters are often just as bad.
Defense is about effort, and Lebron's teams gave more effort. I stopped at 4 players because just like everyone talks about Big 3's now when they assess a teams chances to win, those are the guys doing the bulk of the heavy lifting.
Yes, Lebron's stats in game 4 were bad, but at least he did come out and shoot. Not to mention, that is not apples to apples. Lebron was about to get swept. I would be willing to bet that if it was a game 7, Lebron would have fared much better and put much more effort in.
"Strangely, though, Bryant's will to keep shooting didn't last much longer, bringing a muted close to his prolific season. The Ocho attempted just three shots in the second half after ringing up 23 points in the first, in what looked suspiciously like a surrender. Jackson and Bryant both insisted afterward that they were in accord with the second-half approach -- that another 50-point game, as Kobe submitted in Game 6, was not going to save them here -- but it was one more dose of bizarre in a series that had everything."

Um, no, they went to game 7 twice. No wonder you think my arguments are dumb, you are a retard.
Let me outline this in short-bus, easy to understand fashion for you:
1) Celts went to game 7's twice
2) Celts went on to win a title, the Suns did not, they got bounced by a choking Mavs team.

By some act of God, the Clipps had a good team that year. The Mavs were the best team in the NBA. The Suns overlooked the Lakers and got a wakeup call, and eventually came back and won a series after being down 3-1. The Suns were a top 4 team for about 3 years. They never won a title, but they were far from weak as you would like to put it. In fact, that team would beat the team James is on right now.
Like I said, it was fluke of a Clippers team, the worlds worst team in the Lakers and Dallas team that was talented, but not nearly as talented as many other champion teams.
Me saying they were weak was obviously tongue-in-cheek. They were a good team but far from this juggernaut that Lakers fans are making them out to be in order to support their argument.

The 2007 Suns were good and I haven't put them down once in this thread.
That was a bad-ass team... no embarrasment for Smush/Kwame/Luke to lose to them.
And please tell me when the Suns had Joe Johnson coming off the bench, I'm anxious to know since I apparently wasn't watching.

Ok...fine....Lebron does better in elimination games...so what? They both should try to avoid those in the first place.
That stat is so overrated...actually, your the only one who ever brings it up. lol
Why is it overrated? An elimination game is when a player feels by far the most pressure he will ever face, and LeBron clearly deals with the pressure better. Kobe's got a big-game reputation built on riding Shaq for three quarters.

That's one bad performance out of 4 elimination games. The other three were 27/8/2 against Detroit in game 7 of 06, 45/5/6 against Boston in game 7 of 08, and 37/15/12 last night. Not quite like Kobe's perfect 6 for 6 no-shows. The original point stands: LeBron is a big-game player with his back against the wall, Kobe isn't, as he has thrown up stinkers consistently over the past 7 seasons of his prime (counting this one) when he has faced elimination.
In 2006, the Pistons' strategy was to let LeBron score all the points and shut everyone else on the Cavs down. I say it worked since LeBron only had 2 assists, no other Cavalier scored more than 10 points, and the Pistons won.
And why did you ignore the significance of that 2007 NBA Finals game 4 elimination game for LeBron? 10-for-30 from the field, 2-for-6 from the free throw line (mind you the Spurs won by 1 point), and 6 turnovers at home.
How about the close out game against the 2007 ECF against the Pistons? Not an elimination game for the Cavs, but it might as well should have been because game 7 was in Detroit. 3-for-11 from the field for LeBron, while he watched a rookie Daniel Gibson save his ass.
LeBron is a great player, but let's hold off putting him at an untouchable level just yet. Kobe had that quitting game against Phoenix in 2006 and his ego trip in the 2004 NBA Finals. I don't think last year against Boston was on Kobe. That Boston team was better and they didn't give Kobe a chance to play well in game 6. They trucked the Lakers to make that a moot point. So, as I see it, Kobe has had two really bad performances in elimination games, just like LeBron has had. I don't know where this 6-for-6 no-shows comes from.

Where? Show me the numbers. Counting All-stars from previous years does not count.
I posted the scoring numbers from the 3 best players on each team besides Lebron/Kobe and Lebron's team had more scoring by .1 point.
Yes but defense is less about talent as it is about heart and effort. The Lakers teams, just like this year, have all the ability to defend when they want to.
It is up to your coach and leader to make sure you do it every night. That would be like saying Bruce Bowen has more talent than Odom because of defense thrown into consideration.
Just like you say the West had with out a doubt the best teams in this time frame, did they also have the best big men?
How good were the big men in the East during that time and look at today who is still around.
Young? Lebron was in his 3rd and 4th year in the league and had to be a leader of a shit cast that got to a final over a tough Detroit team.
Kobe was missing the playoffs and being bounced by a weak ass Suns team when he was in his 10th and 11th year in the league and after he had rings.
What was Cleavland's chances of beating Detroit?
How is this stupid and why do the Suns all of the sudden get so much credit?
If in 2006, the Suns took what you are all claiming to be the worst team in history in the Lakers to 7 games, then took the Clippers to 7 games the next series, then got bounced by their only tough opponent in the Mavs, how are they so good?
You cannot talk out of both sides of your mouth and say the Suns were so amazing and the Lakers were so terrible, but the series went to 7 games.
I give you numbers and you say " you are only looking at offense". You then give me defensive numbers and I say "offense has more to do with talent, defense has more to do with effort, hence the Bruce Bowen vs Odom argument".
Then you say you gave me numbers. I gave you numbers that coincide with talent, you give me numbers that I disprove as somewhat inappropriate for the talent argument.
Defense is about effort, and Lebron's teams gave more effort. I stopped at 4 players because just like everyone talks about Big 3's now when they assess a teams chances to win, those are the guys doing the bulk of the heavy lifting.
Yes, Lebron's stats in game 4 were bad, but at least he did come out and shoot. Not to mention, that is not apples to apples. Lebron was about to get swept. I would be willing to bet that if it was a game 7, Lebron would have fared much better and put much more effort in.
"Strangely, though, Bryant's will to keep shooting didn't last much longer, bringing a muted close to his prolific season. The Ocho attempted just three shots in the second half after ringing up 23 points in the first, in what looked suspiciously like a surrender. Jackson and Bryant both insisted afterward that they were in accord with the second-half approach -- that another 50-point game, as Kobe submitted in Game 6, was not going to save them here -- but it was one more dose of bizarre in a series that had everything."
Um, no, they went to game 7 twice. No wonder you think my arguments are dumb, you are a retard.
Let me outline this in short-bus, easy to understand fashion for you:
1) Celts went to game 7's twice
2) Celts went on to win a title, the Suns did not, they got bounced by a choking Mavs team.
3) The Suns went to game 7's with "the worst team ever" in the Lakers and the CLIPPERS
4) The Celts went to game 7 with a strong Hawks team and against a Lebron Cavs team.
Not even close to an accurate comparison or analogy.
Like I said, it was fluke of a Clippers team, the worlds worst team in the Lakers and Dallas team that was talented, but not nearly as talented as many other champion teams.
Me saying they were weak was obviously tongue-in-cheek. They were a good team but far from this juggernaut that Lakers fans are making them out to be in order to support their argument.

Lebron did get farther in a weaker conference, although convincingly beat a team that was superior to any team Kobe faced, and was along with the spurs, the next teams considered the favorite to win it all, after the Mavericks were bounced. then again, basketball is a game of matchups, and even though detroit was a better team, they were also a better matchup for the Cavs than the Suns were for the Lakers. those are all the facts. take em or leave em.

In an elimination game:
http://lebronjamesdunks.net/gallery/Lebron%20James%20Gallery%2011.jpg
37 points (on 46% shooting)
17 in the fourth quarter
15 rebounds
12 assists
M-V-P
LOL. Odom murdered the Suns. Read up a few posts. James doesn't have anyone even close to that backing him up this series, and the rest of his cast has been pulling Smush Parkers for the first four games.
I'm the last person to get on LeBron's case. I think he's doing great.
But to compare his 5 All-Star team to the Smush Parker & Kwame Brown Lakers is ridiculous.
It's on LeBron to keep his team running and NOT playing like Smush Parker...that's on him as a leader.
If he can get his team to 66 wins but can't stop them from choking in the Playoffs, there's no excuse other than LeBron isn't ready to get his team to a Championship.
In all of NBA history, there's like 10 teams that have ever won 66 games, that is a good team...just not good enough. Lots of people had the Cavs as favorites to win the Ring after their 1st and 2nd round sweeps.
There is one huge difference though. This argument is about Kobe in close out games or elimination games. The evidence is in the numbers that Kobe's clutch numbers, which show in the biggest games like elimination games, are way below par.
Lebron's are not. That is the argument.
Even if you say Lebron's talent is equal (maybe not this year but the previous 4) to the Kobe team with Smush, LO, Kwame...there is another difference. Lebron took his team to a final, Kobe quit on his and got bounced in the first round twice and missed the playoffs entirely once.
I missed this conversation. I'm only commenting on the Smush/Kwame Lakers versus LeBron's cast. Obviously LeBron's cast has been vastly better than Kobe's for the last 5 years or so.
I did not say LeBron's talent was equal...I said it was far superior to Smush/Kwame/Luke.
lEastern Conference Finals sweep is what LeBron was able to do with 1 All Star by his side. Kobe got to the Playoff in a much more powerful Western Conference. Kobe missing the Playoffs after Shaq got traded is not surprising at all.
The best teams during that time came from the West...the Suns and Mavs also would have swept the Cavs. The same Suns that knocked out the Lakers would have won the Championship if not for the Amare/Boris suspensions. Everybody knew it was going to be Spurs/Suns or Mavs.
So for the Lakers to get knocked out in the first round versus a pretty awesome Suns team is no shame at all. Neither was it for Lebron to get swept, but I can't say one accomplishment was greater than the other.
Nor, as Jamstone says, could you say what Kobe would or would not have done with that same team in the lEast.
As for LeBron quitting, let's give him 3 more years of losing and then let's see if he's still the perfect Cavalier. I'd be disappointed in LeBron if he doesn't leave Cleveland in 2010 or knock some heads around if he stays a Cavalier.
Funny how you miss the entire point of the thread, then start arguing with me after I correct you like usual. What a girl you are.

It is up to you to point it out, but not prove it? How come you cannot do it. If you really wanted to enjoy my ownage you would point it out like I am begging for. Then everyone could see how badly you and everyone owns me!

You copying all of my jokes is not infatuation? Kids who are infatuated with Lebron buy his shoes and mimic his moves on the court.
People obsessed with movie stars quote them and dress like them.
You quote me and copy all of my jokes, so clearly it is you who is obsessed with Baseline and myself. I bet if I came out with shoes, you would buy them.

Not a problem...I never said we couldn't DISCUSS it on a DISCUSSION BOARD.
Feel free to jump in...but it is YOU jumpng in, not me.
I wasn't "TRYING TO ARGUE" with DPG as he claimed just a few minutes ago...I was arguing with Baseline.
DPG couldn't handle me talking to somebody else and got jealous so HE jumped in and now is trying to say it was me.
Read that quote a coupe of posts ago and then read my first post in this thread. CLEARLY, it wasn't ME trying to argue with HIM (DPG) :lol

Nope you tried to say that you were not arguing with me just because I quoted you first. That is stupid logic. You say that just because I quoted you means that you had nothing to do with the argument that ensued, once again that is Allanon logic (I am going to substitute Allanon for the word stupid or dumb from now on).
You then say I am obsessed with you because I quote you, even though you did not directly talk to me, but doesn't someone always have to start a conversation out of somewhere?
By your Allanon logic, that would mean you are obsessed with BB because you quoted him to argue when he was not talking to you.

Usual misspelling of "lying."

Where in here does it say you quoted me first? Or that you started the argument, to which you keep claiming I am "lieing"?

You know somebody's losing when they just randomly say "you got owned", then proceed to own themselves, even when others jump in to say so. Especially when after they say that, and they are asked to prove it, they shy away from it because they do not want to be forced to leave the forum forever out of embarrassment.

It was a fair argument from BB before Allanon and the likes "did not catch that part".
He simply said Lebron in elimination games performs much better than Kobe and he proved it with his argument.
But then that was unacceptable to Kobe fans. Not many people hate Kobe or the Lakers, just their "fans".
