Lakers vs Mavericks *Game 4*

[Killakobe81]

Duncan is not known as a loser though. Quitting is the one thing that is a no-no in professional sports. Kobe did it. I'm not saying he is "known" for quitting, but I simply said this seems like the same type of moment under which he would quit to prove a point (a la the Suns game).

For the most part, one game doesn't prove much, especially when it comes to wins/losses because everyone loses games. Not everyone quits like Kobe did and that is the difference. Just something to watch for.

Nope neither is Kobe known as a loser except by Kobe bashers. Duncan has lost more times the past three seasons then he has much of his career and definitely more than Kobe. So i will go back and watch the tape with care ...it should be interesting. I will have my old scouting guide with me and will be sure to share my findings ...

Either Kobe goes in hero mode and chucks 35 shots up (result Lakers losing by 10-15 points) or he goes in ultra passiv mode, passing up shots and forcing his teammates to shot so they get exposed how much they suck.

Damned if he does. Damned if he doesn't.

tee, hee.

Mav fans aren't around. At least Laker fans like Killa are sticking around for the game. I figured the Mav fans would be all about today.

Mavfan is too scarred from past chokes to show their faces before victory today. They want it to be signed, sealed, locked, and mailed before they even talk one iota of .

If they win, you can bet your ass there will be a full page of Mavfan threads.

I am very, very interested to see how Kobe plays/responds. He has proven to be a quitter before to prove a point, so it will be interesting what he has planned for today. Like I said, I would not at all be surprised to see Kobe go way overboard and get Pau like 28 shots today. I can see him literally forcing the ball into him to every time to prove a point and say "we do what you say and we lose".

I will be watching closely.

I think Kobe should forcefeed the ball to Pau anyway, even if he starts off terrible.

Not to prove a point, but to let him know that they aren't gonna win without him anyway. You might as well force him the ball until he gets hot, even if takes a whole quarter and the Lakers being down 10-12 early.

I agree, but I'm talking about Kobe going beyond the game and quitting to prove a point. It will be obvious with his actions, mostly in the 4th quarter depending on how things are going.

I ain't judgin'. Just offering a possible explanation for the absence, or rather small amount, of Mavfans on the board right now.

Maybe, I actually think Kobe has too much respect for this team to do that this time around.

Not nervous, I was nervous for the last two. If they lose today, they lose. My Clippers are looking good next year.

[DPG21920]

I agree, but I won't put it past that guy.

[Axe Murderer]

I think the better question is whether Kobe or Fish will cry again

I just hope we won't have a reason.

I am also really anxious to see how Cobbler responds. They already have next to 0 chance of winning the series, but they have no shot if Cobbler doesn't step it up. If he can some how get it going today and they can stay alive, he will make a lot of Mav fans nervous IMO.
