i'll ask you - how was Kobe in the finals?
haha...what a goober. You should be writing children's books.
Kobe wasn't that good. Its hard to play 1vs3. Too bad his supporting cast didn't step up to ease up the triple teams. See what I did there?
Well at least you actually read books, i'll give you that much.
Thank you.
Because Lamar and Pau sucked ass.
You're welcome.
Catch 22?
You two are retarted. I'll end this.
Kobe sucked, cuz his suporting team sucked. So..the whole team sucked. Im off to work!
Don't burn the fries.
That's what your wife keeps saying to me when she orders the Ultimate Cheeseburger, Large Fries, side of Ranch and a Large DIET coke everyday she's here. She's on a diet, she wants to keep her sexy Whale like figure for the Mailman.
whatever you say there, Slugger. Keep working on those witty comebacks and maybe you can work the drive thru line.
Oh !
Watchout. Mono is gonna come back with a "You're a Mother ing Moron"
Cuz "Don't burn the fries" was the best comeback ever!! Oh wait! uh oh...he busted the "Drive thru line" comeback. CRAZY!
I'm just amused you admitted to reading children's books and have a lucrative job in fast food.
I'm also amused that you have Infectious Mononucleosis, but arn't embarassed to let everyone on Spurs Talk know.
really...he wasnt
I get Spur fan hatred of the Lakers......we've ended their playoff hopes too many times to count. But Mav fan......not drawing the connection here. When the was the last time we even faced off in the playoffs?
Anyways, we get it. Kobe wasn't that great in the Finals, but neither were any of his teammates. He alone wasn't the reason that they lost, and really there isn't much he could have done as an individual to change the final outcome of the series. The Lakers needed strong interior defense and rebounding to keep Pierce out of the lanes and KG and Perkins off the glass.
Explain to me how Michael Jordan fixes this enough to make a difference in the final outcome. Like I said before, maybe he slows down Pierce a little more but all BOS would have to do is run screen roll plays to get a weaker defender onto Pierce. Who is going to block Pierce at the rim......nobody. The Lakers lost as a TEAM. Let's end this stupid discussion now.
1) Jordan is strong enough to fight over a screen that Kobe cannot.
2) Jordan is strong enough to not get bullied by Pierce when the Celtics switched him on him. He's also strong enough to get to the rim and finish against Pierce. On the flip side, he's strong enough to keep Pierce from going nuts in the lane on the other side of the ball.
3) Jordan had a devastating post game that Kobe has never even tried to cultivate since '04.
4) Michael Jordan can actually play defense. You don't have to hide him on the Rajon Rondos, Bruce Bowens, and Doug Christies of the league that Phil Jackson has had to put Kobe on for years.
5) Jordan wouldn't shoot 40.5% or constantly jack up stupid threes at 32%
1.) Not against the illegal NFL screens KG was setting.
2.) The Celtics kept Lebron James from finishing at the rim and held him to a ridiculously low 19% from the field for the first couple of games. If Lebron ain't getting to the hoop there is no way Jordan is having that much more success. Jordan has tried going 1-5 in his career and failed many a time, most notably against the Pistons.
3.) In Jordan's day it was illegal to double team a man in the post if he didn't have the ball already, which is why Jordan was able to be so effective from there.
4.) Kobe can play very good defense, hence his nickname on Team USA "dober-mamba". The problem is he is relied upon to do everything on offense as well, he is put on weaker players like Bowen and Rondo to conserve his energy. Not because he is a crappy defender. Don't take my word for it, here is what Carlos Boozer had to say about Kobe a few weeks back:"The new rules only affect post players if they are double-teamed by the defense. The defense may double-team any player at any time. With the old illegal defense guidelines, a player could not be double-teamed unless he had the ball"
"Kobe can stop anybody!"
Like I said in prior posts....
You take Kobe off the team and put in Jordan, they still lose in 6.
Jordan can't gaurd Ray, Piece and garnett by himself. Oh, ...I forgot he can, my bad.
