^But .4 doesn't mean to me. It was a means to an end that didn't come to fruition.
We gained nothing by .4.
Horry doesn't piss me off the way Fisher does because he rang with us too, tbh...

More because your hero Kirby chucked to prevent Shaq from getting a fourth Finals MVP.
Then hunted Daddy down and broke his hole 2-1.
The Heat won every one of their matchups during the time Kirby cried and wanted to be traded.
Then again, it might have been 2-0 had Bavetta et al decided not to give Wade all those charity points...
Boiled down:::
Kobe: 2
Daddy: 1
Shaq: 3
Duncan: 3
Kobe: 2
My favorite game 6 at Staples.
Duncan annihilated Daddy, and two years hence, Daddy was packing his bags for Miami, never to win another ring with the Lakers again.
Kobe wakes up, hangs the old man up by his Florsheims, steals his wallet, prys it open with the jaws of life, brings Gasol in and spends the next few years running Daddy to ground and totin' up cyphers 5-4, catching the tired old bag Duncan in the dragnet.
And still:::
Daddy: 3
Duncan: 3
Kobe: 2
And you know as well as I do that count bothers Kobe like an itch he can't scratch. You might not do Finals MVP counts, but you can bet bones Kobe does 'em. He does 'em as sure as the sun shines on Maryvale.
correction -
Kobe has 1 le total
.5 credit for both of the wins with Gasol and his stacked teams.
Nah, i wanted Kobe to stand trial this season. This season exposed him as a terrible team player who can only win when the deck is so heavily stacked in his favor. He was handed a HOF point guard, a HOF center in his prime, and a $100 million team but still managed to chuck 20+ shots a game. He turned the best center in the world into a glorified Tyson Chandler. Either missing the playoffs or being smacked down in the first round would have been justice. Now we won't see justice done.
lol pulling an injury cause he know his team is going to get sweep
Culby is a ing pussy..thatz is all...stupid parrot
Trust me, daddy-O:::it would not have been enough. The moment he rung on 17 June 2010 and I took off after ya's with 5-4 you've been trying to find a path to salvation and 6-5 Duncan.
Keep lookin'.
Chop/chop.
Kobe's new role model
I know everyone is keenly and anxiously waiting to hear from Kool this AM. I get it that as the most notable Spurstalk poster in history and decorated Laker Nation leader my opinion matters and my thoughts want to be explored as a weekend past time that all of you consider greater and more exciting than pussy. So here it is for Laker Luva and Hater alike:
Don’t ever let emotion dictate your reaction.
I generally try and follow this principle in my life. It makes things simpler. But on a grander scale, it usually will keep you from doing things you later regret. When emotion gets the best of us we do strange things. We say things we wouldn’t normally say. We confront people we wouldn’t normally confront. The momentary lapse of reason that follows some kind of emotional stigma is rarely what you would do when you’re composed and thinking clearly.
That’s the approach I attempted to take. Wait a little while. Give it some time and let it sink in. Immediately rushing to the keyboard, as people do far too often in today’s world of Twitter and Facebook, wasn’t going to allow me to correctly express myself in this particular situation. And for the most part, the reality of what transpired on the Staples Center floor hadn’t fully sunk in. You can read something without fully comprehending it. Even though the meaning is able to leak into your brain, often times it takes longer to permeate your heart.
Now, in the middle of a darker-than-usual night in downtown LA, the word that I can’t escape is surreal.
Surreal.
That’s how it feels. Not devastating or depressing. Not disheartening or disillusioned.
Surreal.
Kobe Bryant means something different to everyone. I can’t tell you how to feel about a certain player, or what he should or should not mean in your life. Ultimately it’s your decision. And that’s how it should be. All I can do is tell you what he has meant to me, and try to somehow express that through 17 years of highs and lows, ups and downs, praise and criticisms, there hasn’t been a more reliable or consistent force in the sporting world. And the sudden realization at how quickly it can all change is far too sobering.
Kobe Bryant isn’t dead. , he isn’t even retired. He’s hurt. He’s hurt badly, but still only hurt. And there isn’t a person out there that thinks we’ve seen the last of him on the court. In the end he’ll miss the end of a season that is more comparable to a runaway train than a basketball team. His presence on the court wasn’t going to carry the Lakers to the championship this year. It might not have even gotten them into the playoffs. The more you think about it, it almost seems like Kobe got the easy way out.
But it always felt like as long as he was out there, there was a chance. There was hope. Maybe nothing more than a fool’s hope, but nevertheless still hope.
And that hope was contagious. Especially to his teammates. Nobody would ever try and deny that Kobe can be brutal to deal with at times, especially with how much he expects from the guys on his team. But they know that with that comes the assurance that he’s going to be out there trying as hard as he can to help his team win. Well, as long as that doesn’t mean closing out on open shooters. He gave that up years ago.
So maybe the reflection here is not that we’re losing Kobe, but we’re losing that variable that’s impossible to define or replace. You’re losing the one wild card in an otherwise face-up deck where everybody can see your hand. You’re losing that final ounce of hope.

Whether we reach the postseason or not, the season will end soon. And when it does the attention will remain focused on Bryant. How’s he recovering? When will he return? Will he still be the same guy when he does? These are questions that we don’t have answers to yet. And some will take much longer to answer than others. But we’ll keep asking. We’ll keep waiting. And we’ll keep expecting nothing but the best. Because that’s what Kobe’s taught us. That’s the precedent he has set during his time in LA.
The cold-blooded persona and the games with the media are fun, but ultimately that’s not what made Laker fans fall in love with him in the first place. Because even at his core, beneath the layers that have intertwined over the course of 17 years living the life of a superstar, Kobe’s still that young kid out there trying to prove the other kids wrong. And in the end that’s what I’m able to take solace in. That’s what I can connect with. Because no matter how much the daily grind of life beats you down or glosses you over, the occasional realization that your passion isn’t gone, only dormant, is what’s most encouraging.
We’ll see you soon, Kobe. You’ve taught us to count on that. - DB
Beautiful thread. Well done BR
BR=the little buddy of NBA Forum.
#1) Did you take time out to think things over BEFORE you propositioned a married woman on Spurstalk? It doesn't appear that a sensible & thoughtful person actually thought things through before disrespecting someone's marriage.
#2) The fact that you idolize a criminal and a rapist says all there is to say about you. The rapist should have been completing his prison sentence around this time and if there was any justice in the world - he might have even become a better person because of all the time he would have had to learn that NO MEANS NO!
#3) It is good that the rapist is done for the season and the playoffs will be unpolluted this year solely for that reason. Good times.
I havent been wishing him injury, but when it happend it happend. And I`m not sad for him.
^ just what the are you talking about? did your wife cheat on you...using this forum as an outlet for your personal demons is not cool...
stop lying
I`m not lying. I was wishing him early vacation, 9th seed etc.
Did you or did you not proposition someone in the Club?
STFU then.
