exactly, and KD owned kobe defensively, hence this thread
Again... the difference was D. KD got 12 of those pts on 13 free throwa. Kobe got 0 free throws.
The lakers played terrible D resorting to reaching and swatting putting the Thunder on the line and OKC played tenacious team D and KD played great 4th qtr D on Kobe.
Thabo was 2-5 for 6 whopping points. At will?@ your comprehension.
he said anyone NOT NAMED Thabo.Thabo was 2-5 for 6 whopping points. At will?
are you laker fans really this stupid?
You're an idiot. His finger is ed which is why his shooting percentage is ed.
Once he gets surgery he'll be fine.
My bad... I misread it. Please god forgive me...
at least he won't be fine in the games to come in this series. I wish the Lakers the bests for next season.
Your theory doesn't make much sense. You won't be better in every face of the game. The advantage the Lakers have over OKC is that they can get highly efficient shots every time they want and use that to make up for the aspect of the game where they aren't so good.
The Thunder outscored the Lakers 23-7 in the transition, even though the Lakers sacrificed rebounding to protect the break. But it makes no sense to say "oh, we lost this in the transition game".
You don't have good penetrators in your team. The only way to draw fouls is by pounding the ball inside. If you don't get fouls, you'll get very high shooting efficiency. You're getting none, for the reasons I explained well before the start of the series.
even though kobe is done, I still don't see a decent chance for us to beat them in this series. After all we're down 1-2 and the Lakers have home court advantage, which means the crucial G 7 will be played in LA even if both teams win all their home games. superfluous but truthful, I don't see such a callow franchise like Thunder beating the defending champs who have so big a reservation of experience/talent/ambition...
^Rogue stay out of my thread brah
It's not a long shot that KD can become a defensive monster. He's very long and he's almost seven feet tall. Though Kobe is long swingman, I have never seen anyone of KD's length to be that versatile. He's just like a young TMAC who has better defense. Anyways, this Thunder win means my vbookie cash gamble is still ok. Still, Lakers should put this away in five.
Lakers just need to make a better use of the guys besides Kobe Bryant, then the Thunder are easily ed as was originally supposed. Kobe is no longer the Senor. 81 so it's sheer infeasible to expect he will carry the team himself as he used to do. Thankfully Phil Jackson isn't a moron that only trusts his top 5 guys, so we often see the ty likes of Josh Powell given meaningful minutes, which allows their top guys adequate resting. You have enough talents and a cerebral coach who knows how to avail the cards he has, so you don't need to tuck the whole team on Kobe's shoulders like how the Mavs use Dirk.
Have you guys ever visited LakersGround? I just started reading some of their threads for the first time, and it's like the bizzaro world LOL..everybody there thinks Stern hates the Lakers and the refs target them..shocking to say the least..
Of course I see 21_Blessings posting there, which should have been expected considering the apparent quality of the forum..Blessings claims Kobe was fouled on every single one of his shots in the 4th quarter other than the shots he was forced to take with the clock winding down..
You're running a swell NBA farm team though. Be proud of that, sonny.
LakersGRound? That's the most ridiculous place in the internet. 90 percent of the people there are bandwagon dip s
this isn't a thread to talk bad about the thunder, there are plenty of other places to run smack. this thread is about the decline of Kobe Bryant.
^Just make sure to lay down again Vs the Spurs fellow.
These are the same fans who called the spurs the San Antonio $terns for years, somehow coming to a mind blowingly paradoxical conclusion that biasing a small market team is great for business and profit.
i'm sure when the time comes, there will be a mavs/spurs game 3 game thread.
this thread is about the decline of kobe bryant, and his passing the 2nd place torch to Kevin Durant.
Kevin Durant SINGLEHANDEDLY won this game in the 4th with his defense by completely making Kobe a non factor. I just find that amazing that a player in today's nba actually won a game with his defense.
No, that was the Phoenix Suns fans who said that after the Amare/Diaw Fiasco.
tee, hee.
& when Durant rings 4 times then he'll be Kobe's equal. Until then, he's just sellin' tickets and popcorn.
& he won't intrude.
you and i both know that there's more to it than ring count. nobody is saying that KD has surpassed Kobe career wise, but here in 2010, he is the better, more complete player. this was proven tonight in an epic performance for the ages.
Durant is badass. I love his game and I love his at ude. He's easily my next favorite player after the Spurs' Big Three
