"Turn" Kobe into a jumpshooter.That man hasn't driven to the rim in 3 years.
Sefo and Afflalo do decent jobs on Kobe, but moreso because he sucks now than they have some secret shut down method.
I honestly think OKC has a better chance at beating LA than Utah or Denver. Billups and Williams are both great PG's but matchup wise Westbrook is the speedy athletic PG who can really give Fisher fits. OKC is weak up front but not much weaker than Denver or Utah. Utah has no one on the perimeter who can defend Kobe, Afflalo does a good job on him but Sefolosha is an elite defender who can turn Kobe into a jump shooter. If LA beats OKC, their almost a lock to get the WCF.

Is it me or does everyone have a weak frontline except for the Lakers/Mavs in the West
Blazers would be stout with Oden/Przybilla
Nobody else impresses me that much.
Laker fan saying Kobe sucks? Wow.
Phoenix if they get Lopez back.
Compared to before, yeah.
He'll still on those clowns a couple games but he won't be doing what he wants at will like he used to. Not unless he turns back the clock and stops looking like old man Kobe of the past month.
Spurs still got Duncan and a guy named Blair who ate the Mavs bigs for breakfest last night. Mavs guys may be big but Dirk is soft and the others are just big but not talented. LAL has length and skill (as would Portland without injuries).
Yeah but Blair is pretty damn bad on D, Amare/Gasol/Dirk etc will all take him out back.
They keep him off the block and shut his post game down, this year Kobe has been at his best in the post. I phrased it wrong by saying turn him into a jump shooter, I agree he's been a "jump shooter" for awhile now, what I meant to say was they force him into off balance lower percentage jumpers.
Kobe being in the post is a mistake to begin with, with how the team is constructed. Get a team full of shooters and perimeter threats - THEN put him in the post.
Looking forward to a Phoenix - LA WCF.
I wish the Suns could consistently play like last night. I could barely recognize the team on the defensive end of the court. The help D was phenominal, it was the first time I didn't see Deron take Nash to the woodshed.
What the are you smoking? Kobe in the post based on the matchup - which is money.
But of course you were the same poster that called Phil an idiot.![]()
lol Kobe is in the post almost every possession. Which is a mistake, but hey, are we gonna ride with Kobe in the post passing out to Artest for an open brick, or allow 5.7/3.8 to shoot over triple teams and come down on his own ankle? Phil picks the poison and 21 bynums just swallows it.![]()
LMAO 21_blessings!
LMAO Glassnum 5.7/3.8!
No he's not in the post almost every possession. You're either clueless about basketball or don't actually watch Laker games. Most likely both.
lol @ your avatar... broken down former superstar and 5.7/3.8:rofl

lol 5.7/3.8
Sons, I cant wait till Im drinking a nice glass of Remy & watching some games this weekend..The east 1st round is gonna be a in joke..The west playoff series' are all great IMO, cant wait for that to start. If phx continues to shoot like this from three, I can see them getting to the WCF..Jared in Dudely is shooting 65% from three in the past 10 games!![]()
Dirk is shooting 70% the last 13 games.
boom roasted JMZ.
Wow. Just wow. Correct me if I'm wrong, but when LA had all that early season success, was it not in large part due to Kobe beasting in the post?
picc44 is the Ghazi of Laker fans. Don't mind his utter lack of basketball IQ.
utter lack of basketball IQ? wouldn't that make him the 21_Blessings of Lakers fans?
LMAO 5.7/3.8!!!![]()
