Second thread by the OP about the Cavs today? Methinks thou dost protest too much.

[dirk4mvp]

Talking about OKC, they are tied with the Mavs at 91 now with 4 min+ in the 4th remaining.

Myself, nor any other mavfans are surprised.

Cavs were missing their 15-8 Center.

People love to slam Kobe with that, but his teammates deserved it. They just didn't even come close to showing up after Kobe killed himself for the first 6 games. I mean, I vividly remember being literally shocked by how ty the Lakers supporting cast was through the first two quarters of that game. If I were Kobe, I'd of quit too. His teammates, all of them, didn't even want to compete. In a game 7? em'.

I think it was because they simply sucked balls. Why would they decide to stop competing after 6 games? They sucked and were playing over their heads for most of that series. I felt it was unfair to criticize Kobe during those years. But to criticize LeBron and say "Kobe would never do that" is dumb IMO.

Is says alot of Kobe's will that he took that Lakers team to the playoffs and a Game 7 in Phoenix. How many teams can go 7 games with that Suns team with Smush Parker as your starting point guard?

Yeah. What I remember from that series is what happened in games 1-6, which were amazing, not game 7.

They were literally a Tim Thomas 3pt shot away from the 2nd round, which they could have won against the Clipps. It would have been a bloodbath at the WCF though...

All I'm saying is that Kobe has never in his life been scared of taking the last shot. He will take the criticism if he screws up because he can handle it. Jordan was the same way.

That game 6 game is up there with game 4 from last year
