Why are people discussing the irrelevant Lakers? This forum should be reserved for discussions about active teams that are currently competing for an NBA le - and maybe ones that are expected to compete for one next season.
because even through all the bull known as the 2015 NBA playoffs... the NBA and possibly many fans worldwide know its bad for NBA business to not have the lakers in the playoffs. that's why the Lakers News in LA will be the first page on every Media source while the Clippers is 8th hyperlink down right after the golf section

The Clippers broke his rice bowl 10 days ago.
Pau hasnt won anything this year. He had a nice bounce back year and we are happy for him but that doesnt change anything. And Kobe cant lead anything hurt and you cannot even compare the two rosters or coach. So none of your points here apply or make any sense.
As for Kobe he stays hurt and should retire but when he was last healthy he willed his team to the playoffs. These past two years he has been hurt ... he gets no credit for being hurt but he played through injuries that Pau has proven unwilling to do ... to make a comparison to Pau is silly. Kobe tears his achilles shoots the FT keeps playing on a broke leg and torn rotator cuff. Pau has a hammy pull cant play. shannon Brown nabgs his girl he cant get focused ...You are right there is no comparison ... But thanks for stopping by
All time great players don't continuously miss playoffs (especially when more than half the teams in the league get to go) and internally destroy their teams due to their massive ego.
You can certainly count his injuries against him. It means he's less reliable, not to mention a bane to the team since his salary is so massive for nearly no production. How many games did Jordan miss again? How about Duncan? Russell? Magic? LeBron? etc? Not that many. You won't see me being a hypocrite and making excuses for Ginobili being injured as much as he is either, I constantly say he is unreliable and hard to count on because of it. It's completely true and applies to all players. Those who stay healthy yet have a similar level of play are straight up more valuable.
Fact remains: Kobe has whiffed on the playoffs 60% of the time he hasn't had a top 4 big. First round elimination the 40% of the time he did squeak in with a bottom seed.
The Lakers would be much better off without Kobe dragging them down now.
kirbys legacy is chasing pippen 6rings as a coatrider..
his stuck on 5 and not looking at winning 1 more anytime soon...or the foreseeable future...
...perhaps, but, Kobe never gave an NBA le back like Duncan did. Then lettin' the Clippers take your cookie.
Nuh uh. Kobe gave one back in '04. You were favored to sweep. But Prince took that er's lunch in 4 games. Then he let Nash bust his balls, not once, but twice.
You ain't got no in' room.
Be quiet, idiot.
Well, there goes Mid's wet dream"Gasol making the Finals."
So the best Gasol can do without Kobe is getting 1st round swept in the west and a 1st round series win vs the Bucks?
6-22 in the playoffs without Kobethis.
Kobe without MVPau/Shaq:Well, there goes Mid's wet dream
So the best Gasol can do without Kobe is getting 1st round swept in the west and a 1st round series win vs the Bucks?
22-6 in the playoffs without Kobe
Misses playoffs, Blows 3-1 to Nash, Loses to Nash again, Leads Lakers to worst record in franchise history.
What do I need to "spin" here exactly? Kirby is pretty bad when not paired alongside a top 1-3 big.
So much wrong in one post
Kobe and Shaq - three-peat
Kobe and Pau - back-to-back
What tells us is that both needed each other to win multiple les.
But he's a cancer survivor
You forgot he also played his last meaningful game at age 33
Irrelevant.
Tell us how MVPau is leading the Bulls to the le now... Oh, just being cucked by Kyrie Dellevadova.You forgot he also played his last meaningful game at age 33
Irrelevant.
Playoff wins since running another HOF big out of town:Tell us how MVPau is leading the Bulls to the le now... Oh, just being cucked by Kyrie Dellevadova.
MVPau: 6
Kirbs: 0
The Deflection
This thread was about your wet dream of Gasol making the Finals without Kobe. Admit you were wrong and he can't do it without Kobe and keep it moving.
6-22 without KobePERIOD
At age 34, MVPau is making playoff runs and has years in the tank
At age 33, Kirby played his last playoff game
Good try being sensible though.
Wrong about what? I clearly stated "if." I made no predictions. Gasol is also hurt. Props to him for giving it a go tonight. Meanwhile, Kobe was 100% healthy to start the year and led the Lakers to something like a 5-25 record
If he doesn't go down for 2+ games, Bulls win the series easily. Tough carrying a bunch of scrubs AGAIN, like he did for years in LA.
Good try being sensible though.
I also fail to see how anyone can give Pau flak here when Jimmy Butler did his best Kirby impression and was -25 and shot 8-22.
Sure, he carried scrubs in LA.
You guys should be DIRECTV satellites. You'd do a of an excellent job at deflecting.
Gasol should keep switching teams, divisions and conferences. He will get to the Finals eventually. He should give the D league a try as well.
How is that on Pau? That's Rose being cucked.Tell us how MVPau is leading the Bulls to the le now... Oh, just being cucked by Kyrie Dellevadova.
I'd fully admit if the loss was on Pau, but it obviously wasn't. Rose and Butler were terrible. Pau was basically a role player tonight who didn't do much harm nor good. Just an injured player trying to give it a shot.
