It's called balance.
You guys are the same s who are blaming Kobe for not passing the ball to his teammates when he took over the game last night.
Bunch of flip flopping es.
It's called balance.
bull .
If the Spurs were down 10 points in the 3rd and Manu went 7-9 shooting, none of you gots would whine that his selfishness took away the rhythm of Bonner, Duncan and Hill.
1 against 5 is not the way to win a le. Open your eyes. Didn't Kobe and you(his fans) learn that in 2004 against the Pistons?
If it was Ginobili going 7 of 9, he still would have found a way to use at least 1 other teammate. Recognize. That's the difference here...Manu doesn't give a if he goes for 20 or not. He just wants the W. If he has to score 20, he'll try to give you that but not at the expense of playing TEAM.
uh ok...yah...right....and my unicorn got shot by Frosty the Snowman.

Please don't try to use Manu as an example of what Kobe did... they are in completely different leagues.
but but but the filipino dude above says that not only Manu would go 7-9 but also would get people involved!!
Manu wouldn't shoot fadeaway three pointers against double teams. He would also have mixed in a couple of big defensive plays or a rebound. See Rondo, Rajon.
that right...Manu is to busy goin 2-11 in pivotal games with normal jumpers, why do a fade away shot over double teams.
My 2 cents, I agree w/ Luva.
I thought Kobe did his best to keep the lakers in the game, if not for that extraordinary shot-making in the 3rd quarter the lakers would have been blown out.
The problem is the laker bigs & Artest have been dissappointments for the most part. Bynum is softer than tissue paper physically and Gasol is mentally soft, Odom is unreliable, and Artest's mobility, athleticism, and shooting touch is in serious decline.
You guys should have resigned Trevor Ariza, he would have been a big difference in this series. His ball hawking defense on the perimeter would have helped slow down Rondo and Pierce who are killing the lakers in transition and also by getting into the lane easily. Not to mention he would have given the lakers better clutch 3pt shooting.
Ahh, well 4 more years of Ron Artest and his planar fascitis flare ups .. have fun laker fans.![]()
Cry all you want Machine. Sasha still sucks and your team has no bench. But still, Balance is what wins les. And the LAL is not...BALANCED.
And still is defending NBA Champion.
lol...You say how we have no Bench...and you end your statement with "Balance"....
ummm okkkk.![]()
or is it Lebron just trying to get his teamates involved.
I've never actually seen Machine rage. It's funny. He's always maintained his cool.
everyone knows lebron lost that game on purpose so he would have an excuse to bail on that sorry ass, no talent, no future cleveland team. duh.
You don't really want to get into a conversation about what Kobe does in pivotal games.![]()
Nope, just LeBron standing in the corner doing nothing whilst the world laughs at Mo freakin' Williams trying to be a decent role player.
Asks if he can bust a nut and gets rejected by a white girl?
I think other than kobe's poor shooting % in some of the games, he's played well - great D on rondo, big-time defensive moves, etc.
Gasol fooled me there for a second. After game 1, I though to myself he actually grew some balls. I was obviously wrong.
The comparison should not be what Manu would do, but rather what would Michael do? Jordan always found a way to score his points aaaaaaaand create scoring opportunites to for his team mates.
i believe he did quit. he just does a better job of making it look like an "off game" than Kobe.
i do blame Kobe for starting this whole practice of quiting on your team in order to make some kind of statement. i haven't seen the NBA for many years, but as far back as i've been paying attention, Kobe is the pioneer of this inexcusable act. both of their careers will be defined by it as much as anything else.
