Lakers beatdown game thread

[Bill_Brasky]

Heat toying with the Lakers

[024]

wade going 2006

[DPG21920]

Another LA loss :tu. Now we just need them to lose a few unexpected ones (bobcats loss would have been money).

[TDMVPDPOY]

lol how come the rapists isnt defending either wade or lebron? cuckhold chickn out

[D-Wade]

Haha when Wade shows up like this it's over for the league

[Cry Havoc]

:lmao

Kobe ultimate stat padding shot to end the game. What a fucking tool.

[ElNono]

Is World Peace the worst starter in the NBA, tbh?..

his shooting selection has been terrible going all the way to last season

[TDMVPDPOY]

wtf rapist pad his stats with that last shot

[djohn2oo8]

:lol Kobe

[Bill_Brasky]

LeBron > Jordan

[Joyrider]

Did I miss that or did Bryant shoot that last shot to stat pad with 20 seconds in the game?

[Mugen]

you can taste the hopelessness and misery here in LA. It's wonderful.

Let's take this time to celebrate the misery of every laker fan here and across the globe.

Sons, god bless.

[024]

i know chris bosh was playing, but i don't remember him making a single shot... he really is the invisible man.

[Clipper Nation]

Is World Peace the worst starter in the NBA, tbh?..

Not even close.... Willie Green started for the Clippers until recently...

[Bynumite]

YAY for another shitty moral victory :lol

[Clipper Nation]

LeGOAT > Jordan

[HarlemHeat37]

Lakers player a solid game without Gasol..I still maintain that if Pau hadn't suffered his latest injury, Lakers would be on a tear, tbh..

They will still finish 8th though, I wouldn't want to play them in the 1st round..hopefully OKC gets them in the 1st round..

[ElNono]

tbh, this was an expected loss... but as DD said, they needed to go 3-1 in the last 4 and could only muster 2-2... the Boston loss was a game they needed to win and they got run out of the building...

Could've easily been 1-3 if the Bobcats don't choke...

Lol wade tellin niggas round your boys up and GTFO

[StrengthAndHonor]

Honestly, where would the Lakers be right now if they hadn't fired Potato Head 6 games into the season? He had them in the playoffs last year, so you gotta figure they'd be in the hunt.....

Better. Mike Brown had solid plans on using Dwight. MDA has no clue how to utilize him. Also Brown is a players coach. MDA is best known to throw his team under the bus.

[TheCultOfPersonality]

Metta World Peace = 3-11 from the field 9pts 0rebs, 1 ast, 2 stls in 36 minutes.

[ElNono]

Next 4 games at home will be crucial for the Lakeshow playoff chances...

- Suns
- Clippers
- Boston
- Portland

They should easily beat Phoenix. Clippers and Boston will test them. Portland is a must win.

[Mugen]

Classy....gfys


Not you Banzai. I like you.

The next stretch is pretty big - mixed bag:

Suns
Clippers
Boston
Portland
Dallas
Denver
Minny
Hawks
OKC

[Leon Black]

We suck

[Raven]

they only have 6 less losses than phoenix...

[Mugen]

special shoutout to Contract Year Clark. Gonna get Mitch to give him a Luke Walton type deal then, a la Luke, go back to scrub status next season.

Get paid young fella, get paid.

[DeadlyDynasty]

Dwight Howard was terrible--about 10 passes bounced off his hands. Honestly thought this was 2006 and I was watching Kwame Brown.

[Mugen]

The next stretch is pretty big - mixed bag:

Suns
Clippers
Boston
Portland
Dallas
Denver
Minny
Hawks
OKC

5-4

They fucking sucks, and yet with Gasol, Kobe, Nash, Artest on payroll, they need to extend with raise Clark and Howard. Talking about salary cup

[Mal]

78 mil already commited to 8 players next year. Howard wont give them discount, and freaking Earl Clark will get 5mil. Thats way over 100 mln they have this year.

[Mugen]

Clark the Spark is getting more than 5 million. He might talk like a fucking idiot but his agent will make sure he gets way more than that and Mitch will oblige. Good for him tbh.

[DPG21920]

If LA goes 6-4 over the next 10 that puts them at 30-32 with 20 games left.

[Clipper Nation]

The next stretch is pretty big - mixed bag:

Suns
Clippers
Boston
Portland
Dallas
Denver
Minny
Hawks
OKC
I could see them losing to all those teams except for the Suns, Wolves, and maybe the Blazers, tbh...

[Cry Havoc]

If LA goes 6-4 over the next 10 that puts them at 30-32 with 20 games left.

If things remain as they are, they will be 3 games out of a playoff spot. Assuming they'll need to have 5 more wins than losses at the end of the year (that's optimistic) to get the 8th seed, they'll have to go 14-6 to close it out to have a realistic shot at a playoff birth.

[Suspect]

damn Suspect has a good sig, approaching djohn territory.

Its a 2nd seed thing imo

[midnightpulp]

I expected worse, actually. Props to the Lakers, in full on Game 7 mode and playing the best they absolutely can (I honestly don't think the Lakers are capable of playing all that much better against a good team), for only losing by 10.

[ElNono]

If LA goes 6-4 over the next 10 that puts them at 30-32 with 20 games left.

Going 5-5 will be a tremendous accomplishment... realistically speaking, 4-6 is likely closer to reality... going 3-7 will wreck them

[irishock]

Lakers will make the playoffs all right. The question is, does SA tank to avoid them in the first round

[Killakobe81]

LeBron was the best player again no surprise ...like I posted early close for half at least we got 3 good quarters

[Stalin]

coasting..

[midnightpulp]

I usually don't do post during games but I will break form today...it's a shame Kobe is not in his prime..he didn't score the basket but on one play when they were 1-on-1 Kobe shook that nigga Bron outta his shoes...Kobe is posting the bigger Lebron up in the paint over and over and scoring over him at will..Lebron has no low post game so he cannot post Kobe up...man I don't give a fuck what yall say..real ass talk: If Kobe was in his prime he would run Lebron ass off the court.... Lebron cannot hold Kobe 1 on 1...not even at 34 almost 35 yrs old and that's a gotdam shame

But he didn't run Lebron off the court in his prime. Bron has dominated Kirby head-to-head since about '04.

[Killakobe81]

Is World Peace the worst starter in the NBA, tbh?..

I wont go that far but he is hurting the team he is the one that should be traded not Pau but no one would take him,

[Killakobe81]

But he didn't run Lebron off the court in his prime. Bron has dominated Kirby head-to-head since about '04.

Thought you were in the team accomplishment camp?

[NRHector]

and like I posted earlier the Heat was just toying with the Lakers

[Duncan2177]

You're a funny guy.

[midnightpulp]

Not talking about head-to-head record. Lebron usually had the edge statistically.

Beats Kobe in every category:

http://oi47.tinypic.com/f1cxo6.jpg

Keep in mind, I ain't hating. But saying "Kobe would dominate Lebron in his prime" is a retarded statement since they've matched up plenty of times when Kobe was at this absolute peak and even then, he rarely got the best of James.

[Banzai]

Not you Banzai. I like you.

Oh whoops. Lmao

[Koolaid_Man]

But he didn't run Lebron off the court in his prime. Bron has dominated Kirby head-to-head since about '04.

that's because he was too busy running Duncan off the court in his prime...don't mention it.. - Touche :lol

[midnightpulp]

that's because he was too busy running Duncan off the court in his prime...don't mention it.. - Touche :lol

But they didn't guard each other. Duncan's rival in those days, as your hero even said, was Shaq. Bigs are rivals with other bigs. Wings with other wings. And in terms of the Bron/Kirby rivalry, Bron has dominated that boy.

[Venti Quattro]

4-3 in the Grammy road trip, I will take it.

It's not a bigger travesty than Drake winning best rap album.

I guess you didn't watch the first half when they put Lebron on Kobe 1 on 1....sure Lebron's teams have the edge..but when Lebron takes the Kobe challenge it's amazing that for as big as Lebron is - Kobe takes him right to block and scores on him with ease...how in the fuck is Kobe backing Lebron down with ease...this notion that Lebron is an all world defender is hilarious.... he cannot stop a 34 yr old Kobe 1 on 1 :lol...and don't get me started on Wade...Wade had a good game but he did absolutely NOTHING when Kobe was on him..in fact most of Kobe's points came when Wade or Lebron was guarding him 1 on 1...Kobe tore them niggas up in iso's...like I said if Kobe was in his prime with a team...2002 Lakers for example these niggas in Miami yall pining over would be relagated to a footnote in history..similiar to Duncan's career as compared to Kobe's when it's all said and done...

Funny how you ignore all the other times Bron bottles Kirby up, as evidenced by his career .411 shooting percentage against him.

He was in his "prime" with a "team" against Lebron. Already forgetting about Kobe's stacked '08, '09, '10 teams that often faced Lebron's Cavs, whose second best player was either Big Z or M:lol Williams?

And Lebron still took that boy to the woodshed.

Oh, and until Kobe captures that 3rd Finals MVP, Duncan's career will never be considered a footnote in NBA history, especially compared to Kobe's career.

And I know you want him to win that 3rd Finals MVP something bad, don't ya? It's still our ultimate trump card to 5>4.

you're still speaking apples and oranges here...don't muddle the issue...I said that Lebron's teams hold the advantage which is the most important..just like Kobe > 5 Lebron 1 or Kobe 5> TOSB 4 is THE most important thing...but again the point was Lebron cannot stay in front of or even defend effectively a 34 yr old Kobe...on one play where Kobe missed the shot he completely broke Lebron's ankles...and during Kobe's last back 2 back he wasn't prime...are you that retarded? 08 -10 is NOT prime Kobe...Mid you've been battling me on this site for a few yrs now..you should know better than to come at me with that type of BS...I will only make you look more foolish...

Lebron scores most of his points on players other than Kobe...even in today's game when Kobe is guarding him 1 on 1 he usually misses but most of the time he passes the ball when Kobe's is personally guarding him..just like he did today...Wade got torched by Kobe today when he was guarding him but at least he's not afraid to challenge Kobe 1 on 1 like Lebron is....and again 08-10 Kobe is NOT a prime Kobe..tell me mid..when are players typically considered prime. ;-)

[HarlemHeat37]

'08 to '10 is definitely prime/peak Kobe. Sure, it's not his athletic prime, but he was never a better basketball player during those years. It's no surprise that Kobe posted his best overall playoff numbers from '08 through '10. His '09 run was one of the more impressive runs of the past decade, much better than anything he did in the early 00s, even '01. He was phenomenal during that time period, and simply a better OVERALL player than the guy who was scoring 81 and playing alongside Shaq.

Actually he was 2-3..but the point is your boy cannot defend Kobe 1 on 1...and when Kobe checks him he passes off...why is he still afraid of Kobe...so he tried to man up today and guard Kobe and dam near got his ankles broke....gtfo you dick riding groupie

[HarlemHeat37]

No, he wasn't..

He made a post-up fadeaway in the middle, missed a post-up fadeaway from the left wing, and after putting a nice move on Lebron on the right wing, he drove and bricked a shot over Lebron and the help defenders..

It's irrelevant anyways, tbh..

:lol Al-Quobe's monkey unit taking pride in arbitrary, unquantifiable individual achievements..

Hey Moron! lol ....Prime is age related...I actually gave you credit for being semi-intelligent because you're white but gotdam you're digressing faster than Timmy's knee's...sure MJ was smarter as he got older because he wasn't in his ATHLETIC prime...conceptually speaking what is it that you can't comprehend about this... ;-) 08-10 is NOT Prime Kobe..it may be a smarter Kobe but not prime...you're going fucking bananas on me with this gotdam stupidity (no pun) - lol

:lol at Kool trying to reduce things down to individual plays because he knows Lebron dominates the overall matchup.

Burns your ass, don't it?

And you better hope against hope Bron don't grab his 2nd Finals MVP this year. If he does, Bron>Kobe becomes official.

[StrengthAndHonor]

That Phoenix loss stung for them. Couldve been 5-2.

The day that Lebron is greater than Kobe he will have 6 rings...by than same token if he's considered better than Kobe Duncan must be stewing in his shit

Basketball prime is not age related. Many, many, many players become better as they age. With someone like Dwight Howard, you can definitely relate his physical prime to his basketball prime, but this isn't the case with a player like Kobe.

And if your hero was involved in this conversation, he'd laugh you out of the room for suggesting that athletic prime=basketball prime.

Burden of proof is on you, monkey. Prove to me Kobe was better at ages 22-24 than he was at ages 28-31. Show me the better playoff stats he posted when he was 22-24 (you can't). Show me the MVP he won at 22-24 (you can't). Show me the Finals MVPs he won at 22-24 (you can't).

Now here comes "he had to play with Shaq" excuse.

Hey Mr. Kiddie Porn with the OCD complex :lol.....actually I can do you one better....here's what I will do for you since MVP awards (media voted) mean the world to you :lol

Prime Kobe age 21 - 26..... back 2 back 2 back....

one crucial fact that evades your intellect is that the years you claim to be Kobe's prime when Lebron further advanced his h2h match-up against Kobe...Kobe won another b 2 b..but Lebron did win the h2h :lol

^ ohh I forgot one thing...now let me hear you say back 2 back 2 back was because of Shaq....

That said, if your argument is concerned about when his "athletic prime" was, I won't argue with you that it was during the 1st 3 peat. But that wasn't his "basketball prime," an entirely different concept.

[midnightpulp]

Simply question, Kool.

If Kobe's basketball prime was during the first 3 peat, then why did he become an even better scorer after age 25?

Hey my idiot friend...:lmao no matter how you slice it...even if you want to play semantics with the word prime...I'm still shitting all over you...and generously....why? because ultimately if I agree that 08-10 is Kobe's basketball prime it means Lebron's h2h match-up is relegated to footnote status...why again?

because Kobe went to the finals 3 yrs in a row while Lebron refused to show up...even when Nike put out all those cartoon commercials out of Kobe and Lebron encouraging Lebron to make it..he left Kobe hanging...so mid you have a self defeating argument...while Kobe was winning b2b titles Lebron was winning b2b MVP's....

again back to my original point...when trying to guard Kobe one on one regardless of Prime or at 34 Lebron cannot stay in front of Kobe...it's pretty amazing that he cannot stay in front of a 34 yr old Kobe...

again mid..I'm just glad the world is talking about Kobe and Lebron..and not that TOSB in SA...:hat

[Koolaid_Man]

[TIMMYtoZO]

This was a fun game despite the constant coasting from Miami. Lebron is raping everyone, so Metta should be cut some slack. The lob from Cole to James was nice. The Lakers should still make the playoffs. They won't go anywhere, but I see them getting in, tbh.

Nice try. But teams advancing to the Finals are, well, a team accomplishment. The facts of the matter are that Lebron bested Kobe statistically during Kobe's prime years. It's documented in black-and-white and plain as day, and no amount of deflecting and side-stepping and bringing up 5 rings can change that hurtful fact for you.

Lebron outscores Kobe. Out rebounds him. Averages more assists. More blocks. More steals. And shoots a better percentage.

And again, nothing you can say or do will change those very painful facts.

[Koolaid_Man]

Simply question, Kool.

If Kobe's basketball prime was during the first 3 peat, then why did he become an even better scorer after age 25?

Lebron outscores Kobe. Out rebounds him. Averages more assists. More blocks. More steals. And shoots a better percentage.

And again, nothing you can say or do will change those very painful facts.


naaah it's not painful because unlike you...I recognize Lebron's total accomplishments as nothing but empty stats in post war era... (i.e playing in the east)..

but if that makes you feel better to think that..then I can only imagine what

Kobe 5
Tosb 4 must do to your asshole at night - ;-)

mid...we've been down this path...there's nothing that brings me more joy (well besides pussy) than being black and embarrassing you intellectually...just like I always do... ;-)

Let me answer your question in a very facetious manner...:lol

Kwame Brown
Chucky Atkins
Smush Parker
Brian Cook
Luke Walton
Chris Mihm

Fail again.

Remember, I was clearly referring to when "Kobe had a team" from '08 to '10, and even then, Lebron still got the better of him. To be fair, Lebron hasn't demolished him, but has outperformed him consistently.

And you know what, that's nothing to be ashamed of. Lebron is the best player we've seen since Jordan, so it's expected he would outplay one of Michael's many imitators (Kobe).

That Phoenix loss stung for them. Couldve been 5-2.


could have eaily been 2-5 if they had shitted in their pants in Charlotte and Detroit .... those fucks were lucky to get back to sunny Southern Cal with 4-3 record.

That would be meaningful if it came from Jordan...but what did we hear from Jordan....:lmao let me paraphrase....:lol you ready? :lol

:lol but if your premise is based off his scoring ability (remember you asked the specific question on why he became a better scorer) why would you exclude 2006 - 07 when he averaged the most points of his career that season 32.7 or so...you'd exclude that season and focus on his titles seasons to make a point about a guy (Lebron) who had better stats but didn't win the title those years...:lmao mid in 5 words....you are a gotdam Moron :lol

Said before Lebron won the title.

And I wouldn't trust Jordan's opinion on talent. Guy is about the worst GM in history and drafted Kwame Brown number 1.

World hasn't ended yet for you, though. Finals MVP count is still Kobe 2, James 1. You can still sleep peacefully.

So you're saying we should trust you over MJ...a guy who's arguably the best to lace em up vs a guy who's self admitted OCD sufferer and thinks it's ok to sleep with 13 yr old girls...yeah I think I'll bet you on Mid...:lmao

Kirby no doubt covered some gambling debt for Bryant. Payback was Jordan lying like a rug.

:lol so mid..What's "The Title" :lol

mid you really want to get your panties in a twist tonight...answer this for me..well maybe you shouldn't...is 1 title in Miami worth more than 4 in SA? :lmao @ "the title"

I never consciously excluded them. I only did so because I thought you were interested in comparing the two players when "they each had a team" (your words). Granted, Lebron's Cavs teams in 06 and 07 were about as awful as the Smush/Kwame era Lakers, so we can compare them in those seasons, as well.

Guess what?

Lebron still outplayed him the majority of the time.

And as for my question, the year Kobe averaged the most points of his career came after his so-called prime per your definition. So I win there, too.

End of the day, Kool, Lebron outperformed a prime Kobe in their head-to-head matchups, and nobody but the most retarded would consider Kobe's basketball prime the early 00s. Of course you consider those years Kobe's peak since it was a time Lebron wasn't in the league, and you can comfort yourself by saying, "Well, Lebron never had to face a prime Kobe."

:lmao:lmao:lmao comparing Lebron not being in the league to Kobe 3 peating in his prime...:lol guess what Mid...Lebron being in the league during the Laker 3 peat era would have meant nothing to the Laker title prizes...Kobe shitting on the Spurs during this time is the definition of a prime Kobe for me...I could give 2 shits about Lebron....it's all about

Kobe 5

^ scratch that mid we judge greatness by leading your teams to back to back rings..if you cannot defend your title at least one time successfully it pretty renders them all meaningless...it means they were a fluke if you cannot repeat...that's why if Lebron repeats this year...he will shit all over Duncan's legacy :downspin:

[Clipper Nation]

Kool still salty mad about LeBeast sonning Kirby for the millionth time :lol

[kobedwight2412]

Good game lakers could of easily won this one if they knew how to fucken rebound a defensive rebound they were playing really good d but just could not come up with a defensive rebound. either way game was pretty fun to watch was close all game. Bron is a fucken beast dont know who could stop him. IMO Heat easily the best pereimeter defensive team.
