Exactly. Paul Pierce outplayed Kobe in the Finals because he had KG and Allen who were just as much of an offensive threat as he was.
Odom and Gasol couldn't handle the pressure and were nonexistent, leaving Kobe to try and do it all by himself with the whole Celtics team gaurding him.
yah...kobe gets trippled teamed..passes it to Gasol to go 1v1 with garnett, and gasol does a fade away hook shot from the ft lineExactly. Paul Pierce outplayed Kobe in the Finals because he had KG and Allen who were just as much of an offensive threat as he was.

Not Pierce's fault that Kobe can't guard him.
Yeah, KG was such a dominant force in that series.Exactly. Paul Pierce outplayed Kobe in the Finals because he had KG and Allen who were just as much of an offensive threat as he was.

Well, when Gasol and Garnett go at it, it might as well be like this:yah...kobe gets trippled teamed..passes it to Gasol to go 1v1 with garnett, and gasol does a fade away hook shot from the ft line
Well, he still outplayed Gasol greatly - which isn't saying much.Yeah, KG was such a dominant force in that series.
Kobe was gaurding Allen too.
This is stupid Pierce had 3 great playoff games he struggled most of ATL series and part of Cleveland series ...So is Billups and Parker better than CP3 or Dwill since they won FINALS MVP? are they even the best player on their teams?! KG may not have dominated ..but for Spur or Pistons fans to dinminish what having a dominant inside defensive presence on defense means to a series means you dont understand your own teams ...with Duncan doing what KG did this year spurs got their 4th le parker got the award ...Billups hit big shots but it was Pierce an Wallace shutting down the Lakers
The Pistons had Paul Pierce in 03-04? No wonder Detroit beat the Lakers in five games.
Just kidding, I know you meant Prince.
And I get what you're saying.
All my points in the other thread on this
and allen had his best series of the playoffs.....
wonder how much points he scored over Kobe vs Sasha
And Paul Pierce calls himself "the truth" lol
ray was wetting kobe's head with 3s the whole series...
but basically, whoever kobe was guarding was going off on him.
pierce can say whatever he wants IMO. i mean, what evidence is there that kobe is a better all around player than pierce ? sure hes a great scorer, but what about the rest of his game ? kobe may be better but its a slim margin. , kobe still hasn't done anything without shaq.
pierce won a le with a "soft" big man like KG.
WOW! you actually believe Paul Pierce.
My point was that Kobe was having to switch players because Radmanovic couldn't guard Pierce to save his life.
Basically, he was guarding two players the entire series. And then on the other end, he was being doubled up because Gasol and Odom were non factors while Pierce could do whatever he wanted because the Lakers had to tend to KG and Allen also.
Kobe was asked to be the Lakers offense as well as their defense, and that's not easy to do no matter who you are.
One and Done
apparently, kobe couldn't guard to save his life either.... lol @ guarding two players. he only guarded one at a time, just like everyone else.
gasol and odom weren't factors ??? kobe was the one with low FG %.
gasol was shooting 53% from the field.... maybe they should have gave him the ball more ?
odom was 51% from the field.....
kobe....... 40%....hmmmmm
maybe he should have stopped jacking up shots and let others go to work.
kobe is a great scorer, the best in the world, but all around i think there are others who i would rather have.
Well, at the end of the day, Kobe Bryant is a better player than Paul Pierce and I'd rather have him on my team.
You're probably saying all of these negetive things about Kobe because he's on the Lakers and you're tired of hearing about how great he is after the Lakers beat the Spurs. And there is nothing wrong with that, people tend to say crazy things like Kobe > MJ and it gets annoying after a while. I'm not trying to insult you BTW.
LeBron James is the best player in the league in my opinion.
thi is just trash...now that he got garnett and allen and won a championship he thinks he is GOD!!!...Kobe went to the playoffs two times with players like turiaf, walton, Brown....What the did he do with west and wally??....plain and simple...they were just bad!
he went to the ECF with antoine walker.....
Yes Lakers defense sucked.
I completely disagree, the best thing that happened to the Celtics was trading away ball hogging employee #8.
Pierce is a lil gassed after the 'chip, but....
