The Official Lakers Vs. Magic Thread

[Nobody]

Question, and answer as a honest annalist, not a fan. Do you think that the Lakers would win it all if LeBron was there instead of Kobe?
And do you think the Cavs would have played the Magic as tough if Kobe was there instead of LeBron?

These types of posts dont mean shit. You see, what if Kobe was playing in the 90s on the bulls? What if Drexler went to NY instead of Houston? What if Ewing had help?

The thing with the NBA, the best team wins in the end, save for rare upsets. LA and Orlando are the best teams. LA is winning with Kobe, and LA would win with Lebron. Your post would make sense if LA was losing the series but lets not act like Orlando is some rollover team. If bron was on LA, he'd have a tough time too.

 

[thundercat]

He can only blame himself. he kept the wrong players in the game and didnt give up the intentional foul.

Or maybe Hedo and Dwight could've knocked down some free throws? Cant blame him for this one...it's on the players man. They choked

 

[ak_rep]

I'm not trying to start any e-beef but if this is true then why the fuck did the Cavs beat everybody ass all year with the best record but then disappeared when it counted

It's that leadership factor that I was telling cats about earlier.

Lebron just isn't the type of leader that Kobe is.

And damn a supporting cast. The Cavs were very capable of beating the Magic. That showed early in the series, throughout those first quarters.

They were very capable of beating Orlando.

So that supporting cast argument is bogus.

Despite the missed free throws they should have won or at least had the guts to foul and let their players redeem themselves at the line.

[SIDESHOW]

while it's fair for you to disagree with him, if that truly is his gut feeling, he's 100% correct.

maaaan fuck a gut... no one was playing all that well out there down the stretch. put Alston in, and see if he can spark the unit. he should have been in at the end.

I didn't see it... but did he have an excuse for why he had Nelson in defending Fisher at the end? I thought COACHES bring in their best defensive players in situations like that if even just for that particular defensive play.... and then he didnt intentionally foul?... straight stupid.. I bet Phil Jackson is laughing right now

Van Dumbshit says at the time he felt it was the right call not to foul, as there were still 11 seconds on the clock. He doesn't like to foul in that situation unless there's like 7-8 seconds. He said he regrets it now, looking back on it, but he would have done the same thing again.

Also said, he didn't expect them to come down the court like they did. Thought "they could have played that possession better"..... er um "Nelson fucked up"....

 

[chemist]

You cats easily confuse best team with best individual player

Besides game one, Kobe has really been fucking up and shooting the ball like shit.

He's shooting like shit but he's averaging for the series 30pts & 8asts per game. Leading the team in scoring and assists and his team is up 3-1.

The lakers are winning the close games because kobe is willing to take the ball and either shoot or find the open man and the magic are losing because they don't have a player thats willing to take that pressure.

Word...People are sure overlooking how horrible Kobe is shooting in this series. If it wasn't for his 8 assist average, his overall performance has been awful.

 

[Nobody]

Also, Kobe drawing double teams is integral to LA winning this game. The attention when he gets the ball to ariza who gets it to fisher opens the court, and he drew nelson to double and passed to fisher to put LA up for good.

 

[CapitalPaper]

kobe not tryna let no one else get credit for this.. he wants the world to bow down before him

AGAIN!! to stand up for the nigga, KOBE gives credit to his team mates WHO earn it! most of the time man.

his percentage dropped because he's getting more double teams, and refs are allowing contact, but without his scoring early on la gets blown out.

And I dont know what happend to Lewis man he was just dead tonight.

kobe can take kwame brown and smush parker to the playoffs and he can take gasol and odom to the finals.

kobe >>>

Lets not forget the pass to Gasol where he drew Gasols man to him when he drove the lane and cut the lead to 3.
I thought it was over after the Magic got up 5.

i remember an old adage, superstars keep you in the game, role players will win it.
same shit tonight.

Lewis went MIA this game...I guess Odom got the best of that matchup, even with the 5 fouls....

Everyone knows Bynum is/was lazy. He just got caught saying it.

Kobe set a standard and demands were met.

And on the court, it's the same way. Standards are met or else . . .

And by saying the "laker supporting cast could beat the cavs without kobe," makes yourself a stan. That's outrageous and ridiculous.

 

[Better]

You cats easily confuse best team with best individual player

Besides game one, Kobe has really been fucking up and shooting the ball like shit.

Eewwll, does the fact that a lot of guys get easier shots, because he draws so much attention, count for anything? Kobe, just like on the team with Shaq, was the facilitator for that team. He's even better at it, and it's proven in the 8 assist he's averaging for the series. Yes, Kobe Bryant is averaging 8 assists.

NO ONE else on the Lakers can break down the defense as well as Kobe. Not on the three-peat team, and not now. Sure, he does shoot a bad percentage at times, but he has some weird fascination with taking difficult shots. When he's hot, he looks ridiculously hot, and it's mainly because he's hitting a lot of those tough shots he takes...

Therein lies the genius and madness of Kobe Bryant. The skill is there to shoot a higher percentage; but he's going to shoot 20 foot fall-aways or bust. He's always been that way. He's just happened to get better at it over the years.

Kobe Bryant is Michael Jordan on crack. Jordan would never take the shots that Kobe take on a regular basis, unless the shot clock was running down, and he had no choice. I firmly believe Kobe Bryant is suffering from the "Michael Jackson Syndrome". Because he started out his career on a contender, he wasn't allowed to get all of the highlight reel play out of his system. He needed to be able to fuck up, and not be benched immediately for Eddie Jones. He needed to be able to shoot himself silly, and then come to the realization that highlight reel plays, and 50 point games won't mean shit, unless he wins. Lebron got to come into the game, and start on his team from the beginning, and make his mistakes. However, it was because of the production of Kobe and T-Mac that teams knew they could trust a perimeter player out of high school.

So much discipline in the beginning sort of arrested Kobe's development into a smarter offensive player. He'd still rather fire up 20-foot fall aways, and other difficult shots, and he's going on 31.

Oh, well.

I thought it was over after the Magic got up 5.

he.s in the middle of all the big plays. the foul on howard, the rebound over howard, drawing double teams. at times he could work the ball around more, but at the same time they weren't getting it done inside either. people get so hung up on FG percentage, but stars will find a way to win.

last game they could have won, but it wasn.t kobe's turnover, it was a great defensive play instead. cats will ignore the great play howard made on the ball in that game to focus on dissing kobe.

 

[FLoss]

Fuck the bullshit. I haven't checked the final stats but, Orlando shot 17 more free throws for the game... During the fourth quarter Orlando shot at least 15-20 free throws to the Lakers..............get this NONE...NADA...ZILCH.

WHAT DO YOU BGOL ARM-CHAIR CONSPIRACY ANALYST HAVE TO SAY ABOUT THIS ? I'm waiting, since you complained so much about game 2.

[360KNOWLEDGE2]

Oscar Robinson a man who averaged a triple double through out the whole season, don't have a ring, so I guess that makes Steave Kerr better also?
Look you Faker fans need to cut the fucken bullshit, by trying to equate the greatness of the Laker team to the greatness of Kobe! You don't see the Spurs trying to compare Duncan with Jordan, even though he means a lot more to them than Kobe dose fore the Lakers!
If Jordan or LeBron shot as poorly as Kobe shot during the last few games against a team like Orlando, trust me their teams would have gotten blown out the water!

Who's Oscar Robinson? Is he Jackie's long lost brother? LMBAO !!!

Fuck outta here. Kobe hasn't done any leading since game 1 and he's almost cost them games. It's the other players that have stepped up and not because Kobe has pulled anything out of them. Lebron was all world against the Magic.. the Magic just pose serious matchup problems for the Cavs and have the last 3 seasons.
