Dude take of your homer glasses. You act like Manu had a great game and we actually got something from our bench and still loss. The world doesn't revolve around Kobe you idiot.
yeah dude, like the score like will be 100-0 and stuff. Cuz like, the Spurs are old and like, don't know how to play defense. And Bowen is like overrated and like the Lakers are like the greatest team EVER. Like totally dude, i'm with you. I'm like predicting the score to be like 150-5 and the Lakers are like going to shoot 120% and stuff.
Wow thats what you guys think all people from LA talk...like totally dude....
Like you knwo like the Lakers will win game 2 and like you guys will say that you did it against the Hornets and like no worries....
Remember that you guys had a hard time beating us everytime we played you in the playoffs....Im not saying we will dominate but we sure do have a good chance of beating you guys and you know that this is the team you worried about playing when the playoffs started...like Ok....idiot
you guys misunderstood him. He was talking about tapping Laker girls...
Don't get ahead of yourself, with this post. Just because we won the game doesn't mean the Spurs can't win the series. I have total respect for the Spurs and what they have accomplished, I think more people should respect these guys also.
Duncan is only 32, Kobe is closing in on 30. He is not so old he can't dominate the out of the Lakers for 6 or 7 games. Gasol is a terrible low post defender he can't check him to save his life. Duncan is a bigger force on the game than Kobe is when he is at his best because of his defensive prowess. When Tim is on, he is dominating the block on D, getting 15 plus Reb and either scoring like crazy, when he is single covered or doubled and getting a shooter a wide open shot as he is great passing out of the double. Kobe is a great defender as well but his D does not have the impact on the game that Duncan's does, if Tim has a monster series here, I like our chances.
The best thing about Kobe this season is him getting everyone else involved.
So. Let him go back to his old ways. Score 35+ points while his supporting cast goes cold
Love your plan.
The Lakers only have TWO players left from the last time we played you in the playoffs. That doesn't even matter.
Who is us, Fisher and Kobe, everyone else is gone
I agree with you on almost every point except about Duncan dominating more than Kobe. I agree that most of the time a Big Man has more impact then a guard but Kobe can do so much too.. His help defense, his passing ability on the post and his streak shooting are all things he can do to dominate....plus he can get to the foul line and kncok down 20 in a row...something duncan has never been able to do..
I live in LA and I think your analysis was juvenile.
That's rather stupid.
what if kobe starts playing hard BEFORE the game?! the game'll probably be over before it even tips off!
Much better.....yes this thread was more of a joke...I know the Lakers play way better when Kobe distributes and scores late...
but this thread is way better than most of these Kobe hating threads....
It's 6 hours till tip off and Kobe has 15 points on 6 for 8 shooting already.
The greatest player of this generation is Kobe Bryant.
I like Duncan. He is a great player, and an asset to any team.
But the best player we can see now will play tonight.
For the Purple and Gold.
And you do not "let Kobe score at will."
There is no "let."
Kobe scores when Kobe chooses. He distributes when he chooses.
You react to Kobe. Kobe does not react to you.
Thread starter is such a big moron. You should probably go back and look at the box score of the 1st game.
Even after kobe displayed his super human capabilities, Lakers scored 46 points in 2nd half, compared to 43 in first. So here is your answer: if he took over from the beginning, score would have been 92 against 89, and kobe would have scored 50 against 27 he scored now. Spurs didn't lose because of Kobe, they lost because they didn't make shots. Even some open shots.
Defensively Spurs were awesome. All they need to do is make some more shots.
If that was the case....the Lakers would be undefeated this whole season. Can't rely on just Kobe.
Haha why are you guys taking the thread so literally......dude the last thing any Laker fan wants is for Kobe to take 30 shots....I rather see him take 15-20 and carry the team late......Spurs fans are really on edge right now....no worries...its only Game 1
exactly, its only game 1. Lets talk after game 2.
You ought to be more afraid of what Duncan will do for an encore eating up the soft Lakers. Duncan's performance was every bit as brilliant as Kobe's - the problem is that the SAS went away from him in the 4th and Pop will not let that mistake happen again.
Spurs also still have 3 of the best 4 players on court plus Bowen to keep Kobe relatively in check. Kobe will have one more big game this series but Spurs in 6.
The other Lakers get lazy if Kobe takes over too early. It makes them easier to beat.
not in 99
LOL, based on what exactly?? Kobe's career really begins right now in terms of all time greatness. It will be viewed in 2 parts.
1) What he did as Shaq's sidekick in LA
2) What he did in LA when it was his team to lead
He has had a great year and career but his career is not up there with Duncans right now. Tim has been the MAN on 4 le teams, he has 3 finals MVP's, 2 league MVPs. Kobe has to lead the Lakers to les to be up there with Tim, he has not done that yet. If Tim played with Shaq in his prime he'd have 10 rings right now.
