Kobe Bryant is done

[Halberto]

Yeah, seriously. I don't buy all the hype behind the Magic. They're a streaky 3-point shooting team and it's easy to break down Dwight. Mario goes into self-destruct mode easily, too.

He said anyone NOT named Thabo.


Man... tough time to be a laker troll in this forum right now.

And apparenty you didn't see my post 2 mins later where i said "my bad... I misread it".

[namlook]

This is the guy who thinks Kobe is playing better than Ginobili in the postseason.

Too bad I never said that. Learn to comprehend the written word before posting bull .

It will be a Laker and Magic repeat in the finals.

[namlook]

The Cavs laughed last year too when they saw a playoff matchup with the Magic. It ended with the King stomping off the court like a petulant child and refusing to shake anyone's hand.

[BRHornet45]

sons the dude just needs his ass beat that's all he really needs .... I'm talking a vicious, face stomping, beat down that would take him out of action for a good 6 months.

LOL you can only hope for that matchup again.

I don't blame Laker fans though, I can only imagine how it would feel if Shaq won his fifth ring against the Lakers.

Would be VERY VERY difficult

Being worn ragged and being done are two entirely different things. Kobe is good right now, and he'll either push through the pain and remain good through the POs, or he'll get eliminated (dubious) before the Finals and come back great next year.

PJ has to manage his minutes better, and Kobe has to accept he needs to slow down in the regular season if he wants to make a PO run.

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..

I visited that site after the game. It's funny to see Kobe fans going against Lakers fans.
Didn't see 21_Blessings posts, but milkshakeballa was telling the truth here.

Took a second to watch bits of this game during the Suns scoring bonanza. Kobe is definitely a different player. He can't create a shot for himself at any given time anymore.

[poop]

will bump in a couple days when kobe puts up 45

[Muser]

He's not done, he's just being a dumbass.

Game 2 withstanding, you O & 41 pile of you , you.

[TampaDude]

KD is the real deal, folks! Hoping for a KD-LeBron finals someday.

I visited it during the finals 2 seasons ago. It was a superb experience that I will never forget. After game 1, the biggest thread was about how the rims in the Boston Garden were rigged because in their minds lots of Lakers shots were in'n'out while the C's ones were just swishing, so... they had used rims of different sizes. After dozens of posts, a guy who probably had an astronomical IQ relatively to his peers, asked "hey, I just thought about this... what about the half-time? In the second half we were shooting to the other rim and vice-versa...". There were some perplexed posts for a while until some other guy posted something like "yeah, their arena is brand new and they said they used lots of new technologies on it" followed by lots of "that must be it! RIGGED! CHEATERS!". That thread was kept alive'n'kicking till the game 4.

It was scary, hilarious and bizarre. Haven't been there in awhile, but that place is a great and accurate collective picture of the Lakers fans. Very representative of who they are.

sounds like quite the experience

not sure if it was the right move for milkshakeballa... he was called a fake laker fan for his post!

Come June all of this will be dismissed and forgotten.

Foolish posters who thought Kobe was done!
Live and Learn, never count out the Mamba, ever

[21_Blessings]

I would pick Joe Johnson over Kobe anytime at this point. Better shooter, better at ude, better player.

Kobe is a poor man's Joe Johnson

[HarlemHeat37]

Kobe's play vs. Boston will tell a lot..right now, he's feasting on bad defensive teams, doing what a top 5 player should do..

And if he beats Boston the LeBron crew will have no legs to stand on.

[Kobe™]

Early bump 21, but good one nonetheless.

Why?..
