He knows man. He's not a kobe stan but he definitely has a bias...that is why he is using that particular line right now.
@ Stan!!!He spoke the truth!
He spoke the truth!
What did I miss? he must have gotten on the refs?
Eewwll, maybe I could avoid doing that if it wasn't for the fact that people said the reason why Kobe's teammates didn't do well - pre-Pau - is because they had no confidence when Kobe passed them the ball.
Maybe Lebron should take less shots, and spend more time building the confidence of his slumping teammates. I mean, at the end of the day, he is averaging 42, and behind 2-1. Maybe it's time he tries a different approach, because scoring a ton of points every night could possibly send him home in the next two games.
And there's the problem. Do you sacrifice Offense for Defense? Joe Smith
and Ben are probably better on defense for dealing with hedo and rashard but
Dwight.....don't know. You'd probably be better off with Z and Vareajo for size
reasons, making it harder for dwight but then they're both to slow for hedo and lewis so.. Cavs have picked their posion.
It's really not surprising. The Cavs have struggled against the Magic over the last 3 seasons. The Magic just pose all types of matchup problems that the Cavs wouldn't face with the Lakers or the Nuggets.
Thank you.
LOL..Charles Barkley was asked why he didn't buy women watches
"Because there's a clock on the stove"
Fuckin hilarious

Didn't the Cavs have the best record in the league this year and only lost TWICE at home, if thats not a solid team then i don't know what is
Press wanted a response from Van Gundy about the block Howard made on Bron in the 4th qtr......Van Gundy said, "Nope, I won't respond.....You saw the play....You respond! I'll get fined if I respond! You won't!!!"
Huge difference. Kobe clearly was overshooting and disrupting the offense. This was over seasons and had nothing to do with it being "necessary". Because he's often done is POST-Gasol not knowing when to just let the game come to him.
Also, Kobe was not shooting at a HIGH percentage. He was just taking lots of field goal attempts during the time you are referring.
He's shooting 55 percent from the field. He's not chucking the ball. 55 percent is an OUTSTANDING percentage from the field. He doesn't need to change his approach beyond being even more aggressive in driving to the basket because it's obvious he can't be contained going to the rack. His teammates just need to make their shoots or shoot BETTER shots...ESPECIALLY Mo Williams who is making horrible decisions on both sides of the ball.
Lebron is scoring by default.
the major fuckup is that cleveland ran through two teams earlier on, a team that pretty much quit soon as chauncey billups was traded, and a team that was injury plagued and still searching for an identity. they looked at the lakers going to 7 against the rockets and assumed incorrectly that they were bad and the cavs were invincible. they looked at the magic, going 7 in two straight series as them stumbling their way through the playoffs.
shit the way it looks now, only the nuggets have been consistently rolling, because even in their losses they were there until the end.

Teams like the Rocket's are dangerous because the level of pressure to succeed doesn't even compare to what the Lakers and Cavs deal with. When you're not expected to win, you're able to play more loosely, while the higher seeded team feels pressure to play the perfect game...
It's the reason why the Lakers are playing better against Denver. They actually take that team seriously. I believe the Lakers were arrogant, and thought talent was enough to beat the Rocket's. I mean, if that's not it, we're saying that the Rocket's, minus Yao and Tracy, are better than the Lakers.

Nah, Supreme Coon... maybe he just needs better players
Or maybe he should make his teammates better.
Your turn.
funny that this was not said when they had the best record in the regular season.....or when they ran through the pistons & hawks....they just ran into a better team....i mean this isn't the first round anymore
cleveland doesn't have a true post option. lebron is lethal in the paint but he gets his off layups and dunks. he cant back his man down and get him with a hook, or even a fadeaway. he bullies his way to the rim, and his jumper is unreliable, and he gets a ton of calls to the point where he is literally untouchable.
A yo...TNT fuckin up real bad right now...Really...W/ The nappy headed ass jokes..
Please tell me I wasn't the only one who just saw that..

Well, it's a two-way street on this...If the Cavs admit that they cannot stop them on the offensive end, then they should start Joe Smith b/c he's much better on offense than Varejao IMO. Back on the defensive end, put him on Turkoglu or Lewis up high...Sure it may sacrifice him getting taken off the dribble, but they have to get one of those guys off the 3pt line...
Still doesn't excuse the guards rotation defense...they still leave Alston and Lee wide open looks...

While you did make a good point about West's defense, where was their FG shooting at? EVERYBODY was struggling from the floor this game, including West and Williams....AGAIN.
They're gonna need more offense if they're going to win this series, and they SHOULD put in Joe at PF to start.
west was 5-11. i dont really call that struggling. and the point is most of those looks werent catch and shoot. if you watched that game you know he created. especially in the fourth, he held his own getting the shots he wanted. (not to mention again his defense on turkey was great). williams is another story, but even he has hit big three's. your superstar taking all those shots and missing all those fts has to be held accountable. nobody has said shyt about last game with cleveland being up by double digits, and the magic making their run on them while bron was in the game, but that's because he hit the game winner, so now when they do the same shyt (i.e. hold it down with him on the bench) and when he's brought in to close he doesnt do it, he's got to get some of that blame.
its a high risk-high reward game.
Meh...
It's all about winning and losing; scoring and missing.
If Kobe scores 50 tomorrow, and they win by 1, they will say he willed his team to a victory. If he scores 50, and they lose, he hogged the ball, and should have gotten his teammates involved.
If Jordan would have missed that switch-hands-in-the-air lay-up against the Lakers, it would have been considered a forced/bad shot. He hit the shot, and it's now considered one of the greatest play-off highlights in history.
Kobe's "over-shooting" is called being aggressive when they go in, and they win. Him starting games out by trying to get his teammates involved is considered passive when they lose.
Winning cures everything. It's such a strong influence on how people perceive things, no one remembers, or care to talk about, any of Michael Jordan's off the court short-comings. Without those six rings, Michael Jordan would be considered a ball-hogging, gambling, adulterer, who lusted after blond haired, blue eyed, white women.
Edit: I forgot to add that, when the Cavs are winning, it's because Lebron is great at making his teammates better. When they lose, he needs better teammates.
