If the Mavs win the le it will be because their overall team is just that much better than everyone else. It will not be because Dirk carries them to the le under intense pressure in close game situations. He simply does not have it in him.
You are giving me a Reg season Box score as proof the Spurs won't spank the Lakers in the playoffs. This is a ing joke right.

It is the only time the Spurs have played the Lakers with the Lakers actually having Kobe, Odom, and Walton. Look at the box score-- Tim did not go off-- all 5 Lakers starters were in double digits-- in total opposition to your claim-- and the Spurs got outrebounded by 9. The Spurs lost 2 of 3 to the Lakers this year- there is no reason to believe they will beat the Lakers in 5 games.
Playoffs my man playoffs Lakers have no shot against the Spurs. Spurs have a team built on defense and they have won multiple les together. Lakers have Kobe and a mix of young talent and vets who for the most part play like when Kobe is having a big game. There are only 2 teams that can beat the Spurs in the playoffs, Mavs and Suns nobody else has a shot.
werent you complaining in some other thread that Kobe doesnt pass and make his teammates better? well thats what he was doing earlier in the season until all the injuries. lately phil jackson asked him to score more earlier in the game... well guess what hes doingYou are stupid.I'm not going to overreact and crown Kobe the best player on 3 games. It's an 82 game season if you didn't know. Kobe was slumping earlier this year. Maybe he is the better player now but Dirk has had the better overall year.
also kobe started the season coming off an injury.
if the mavs suffered the injuries the lakers and a few other teams have no way they would have the record they have now.
kobe also had 5 boards and 4 assist with only 2 TOs... thats damn good for scoring 60 points.
The way Kobe can turn it on and carry his team. I definitely think the Spurs are better off facing the Nuggets is the 1st round. The lakers have shown earlier in the Season how potent they can be when they play team ball. Spurs will have to bring their best game if they hope to beat LA.
The Lakers have played like in the 2nd half what are you talking about?
Kobe is a brilliant player, obviously. But performances like these beg the question:
Where was this in game seven versus the Suns last year?
For a guy who's been a big part of three championsip teams, for a guy with his reputation as a clutch assassin, for a guy who can score 50 almost every time he hits the floor, to take two shots in the second half of a game seven is baffling.
I've never been satisfied by any explanations I have heard about his performance in that game. It was obvious Phoenix was going to win it, but Kobe sure as didn't go down swinging.
Remove this stenchy thread from the Spurs section.
me tooThe Lakers are a dangerous draw for the Spurs. I would much rather see Denver.
i don't doubt kobe's talent. but his basketball IQ/decision making really makes me doubt whether he has the capability of being the main man on a championship-caliber team.
Actually Im scared of us facing the Rockets.
We Laker fans can't really expect a ring from this squad, but Kobe sure is one of an awsome talent to be able to watch.....
Now this is actually the first post against Kobe that is actually valid. All the rest are Haters.
I think it was a combination of Kobe being pissed at his teammates, thinking that if his teammates could hit their wide open shots then they could get back in the game, and a statement to Phil and his teammates.
Kobe knew we weren't winning it all last year. So he stopped shooting as a message to the F.O. and Phil to get some help. He was pissed we had it at 3-1 and gave the series away. Should he have stopped shooting? No. But this is Kobe and he knows it's a marathon not a sprint. It sets him up for future years with the organization. And he's proving his point again this year. A little bit of a power struggle within the Franchise. As long as he backs it up, I have to back him up on his power moves. He has many years left and with his conditioning and work ethic, I see no reason why he can't play 10+ years at an elite level.
Kobe is WAY better than Dirk as an individual player, I think he is a way better individual player than Duncan.....
Problem is, individuals do NOT win les.... ING PERIOD.
Kobe is not a person that raises the game for the whole team, ala Tim and Dirk (and definitely not MJ).
I don't care if Kobe goes for 80, all that means in a playoff series is that the Lakers will get like 87 to 94 points against the Spurs or Dallas or even Phoenix while everyone else gets shut down... now tell me Kobe can do that 4 games straight, or even through a seven game series. I love Kobe as a player and a baller (as a human being I honestly don't know, I'm indifferent), but a leader he is not. Lakers out in the first round whoever they play against, book it.
phyzik, you're a hater.
Like I said in my earlier posts regarding KB24. You put talent around him...they win the ring.
Also, if any one of the spurs, mavs or suns had a player win 3 straight games and average 58 pg during that run, this sight would implode with homerism. , Manu getting 30 points this sight has about 30 threads stating Manu should be an allstar blah, blah....Take the greatness for what it is....everyone matches up to Kobe in the L. Kobe matches up with Wilt and Jordan...that's the difference.
Here ya go Laker fans
Screw that ball hog.
I know he wants to be like MJ, but he'll never be a leader and he'll never make players around him better.
Yet he still averaged over 3 assists a game the last 3 games during 3 straight wins, right. Im sure that teams knowing Kobe can score 60 points in a game doesnt affect opposing defenses and wont get his other teamates open looks further down the road. People are blinded by their hate
3 assists per game?!!!
Woo hoooo!!!!
Doesn't Nash average over 10?
Are you stupid? You realize that he has scored over 50 every one of those games right? Whens the last time Nash got close to that? Better question, how many all stars does Nash have to pass too compared to Kobe? Even better question, what exactly is Kobes position? SHOOTING GUARD. That means he is suppsoed to shoot, not pass. Nash is a point, its his job to pass, maybe you dont understand the basic positions of basketball. All I know is that when he wasnt shooting, they were losing, now they are winning. And over 3 assists a game is great while averaging over 50, thats what Manu averages, and he doesnt drop 60
DarrinS... is completely delusional....They guys is averaging #'s you haven't seen in what....40+ years...and you still hate. Dude, put down that Bonner jersey and see the greatness for what it is. His team is injury plagued....Radman and Mo Evans their sparks off the bench are injured...Brown is playing on 1 leg and Odom and Walton just returned. Plus, Walton didn't even play in the 50 point game because of injury. Oh, and they have a guy named Smush leading the point.....plus they play the Tri....
