Shut up fool
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.
Word.
Because he's shooting on volume..that is why he is scoring 30 points.. look at the game tonight.. if Gasol or another players gets some of Kobe shots.. the game doesn't even go to overtime in the first place.. Kobe shot 33 percent from the field.. they won DESPITE his play..not because of it..
and dude shot straight times before finally giving it up to Fisher...
You see the reason Kobe is surrounded by 2-3 seven footers, a guy that can play 5 positions (odom) and a defensive specialist (trevor) and Lebron is sorunded by 4 jump shooters is because:
KOBE HAS A GREAT JUMP SHOT and LEBRON DOESN'T SO THEY NEED SHOOTERS TO FILL THE GAPS
Kobe made this the team they are today, just like LeBron made the Cavs the team they are today.
Oh yea I forgot the Cavs had the best record in the league, so how you figure?
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.
What you said above...You say LeBron is not the leader Kobe is? Elaborate on that...
...and you say damn a supporting cast and that the Cavs were very capable of beating the Magic...2 things...
1. Go through the Cavs roster (other than James) and go through the Lakers roster (other than Bryant)...You can't tell me that the Cavs have even close to as many good players as the Lakers do from spots 2-10...
2. What is the Cavs record against Orlando the past few years? Elaborate on that also...
Re: Magic Thread
It's OT again.
Well, it's 2-2.
The Lakers will get back to form on Sunday.
This is a little more relevant due to them playing common opponents! Fact is LeBron destroyed the Magic in every game except the last (with a cast of overachieving scrubs) doing single handily what a great Laker team, filled with a cast of superstars (including Kobe) is barely able to do. Now if you still think Kobe is that much better, shouldn't the Lakers be blowing away the Magic? Not playing on about the same level as the Cavs did, with LeBron and a bunch of scrubs.
All these fuckin excuses by Lebron Stans 
This cats team had the best record in the NBA, They swept two teams out the playoffs right? And you all are still using the supporting cast excuse? GTFOH
All I heard when the cavs were 8 and 0 in the playoffs was Lebron was GOD!!!Now All I'm hearing is excuses for the fucking "Chosen One"
Man Kobe is on another level Lebron still got catching up to do now the muppets commercial will change to "uh Lebron have you seen my 4 championship rings"

Give LeBron two 7footer who can move, a cast of 3point shooters, and let see what he does in the lane. If you try to collapse, he would average a triple double easily for the season. Don't collapse in the paint and he would never miss! The problems with the Cavs is that they can't consistently hit the outside jumper, plus they they cant drive to the hoop, so the Magic was able to pack the paint, with tall bodies. And in-spite of that, James scored more and shot for a higher % and had more assist vs the Magic.

Who would you trade on the starting line (minus James) for a starter on the Cavs? Better yet who would you trade on the bench (including coaches and players), for someone on the Cavs? A player is worth what you can trade for, and until you tell me a player on the Cavs besides James and maybe Williams with any trade value, don't come to me and tell me about the talent the CAvs have!
And change your screen name, to something less appealing to faggots!
Lebron gets the personnel that he needs to make him a winner you know that right? This ain't prep school, this is work, they hire and fire poeple to work with the star players.
He himself has no confidence in his shooting so, they have to get shooters to spread the floor and take pressure off of him. A true 7 foot center would clog the lane and rob him of at least 5 drives a night. You have to know enough about team dynamics to know that, the front office grinds just as hard as the players and coach.
His team made it to the finals and the conference finals 3 times maybe it isn't just the team
Man please! Dwight Howard missed 2 free throws when they were up 3 with 11 secs remaining in regulation. C'mon dude, dont blame a coach for players not producing in the clutch. That loss was on the 5 players on the court.
And 11 seconds is a long time to start fouling when you're up by 3. You do that when it's under 5 seconds to play. That's bad stategy. The Magic had just missed 2 free throws. Why the fuck would you foul, let LA get to the line and possibly make 2 free throws with no time running off the clock, then take the chance of them fouling you and missing 2 more on the line. That would've given LA the ball with a chance to win the game. That wouldn't have been smart coaching.
If you wanna blame somebody, blame Nelson for leaving Fisher wide open! But I guess that's stan Van Gundy's fault too.
Fisher is a class act...
but I still won't excuse him for what he did to Scola
I still see nothin wrong with wut he did. The play before, scola was down there bumpin his gums...u gotta respect a mans house.
He'll be a coach no dobut. Shit, he should retire after this season and go coach the Magic.
I've never seen a team that's such a mess. Court IQ, discipline, fundamentals...
They should be forced to watch Magic's DVD all summer.

and pietrus cant be excused for what hid to gasol
Dude, stop inhaling da nutz, cause you and I both know the Lakers wont be shit if it wasn't for a few lucky breaks, 1- the Gasol robbery,2- them getting Fisher for nothing,3- Ariza, and 4-Bynum developing into the player that he is!Lebron gets the personnel that he needs to make him a winner you know that right?

I rode with your motherfuckers when yall were crying that Kobe don't have no players, while getting bumped 4 strait to the Suns. But now the deck is once again stacked in yall favor, now yall trying to make it seem like its all Kobe, and all those fucken player moves don't mean shit!
I live in LA went to school there(big up to Dorsey high and Audubon Jr High), so the true Laker fans, I give them propz, but you bitch as man worshiping fagots, yall mother fuckers got to go!
Possible, but they also could get more assists for him if he drives the lane and draws the opposing center in there early...
Look at what Nelson did one time in the 4th Q in this game by driving in the lane...he got Gasol to come to him which left Howard open for the dunk. If I had an efficient 6-10 to 7 foot dude in the post to finish off poss. in the paint then I have two options: drive it all the way to try to get and and 1 from my man or the guy who comes off the post player, or dish it off to him when his guy leaves him.

yup this "AAU ball" is horrible to watch....you got dudes like Howard with off the charts athleticism who don't know basic fundamentals an average high school player should know.
It's crazy. How many of us were screaming tonight (and the entire playoffs) about Howard always holding the ball low, or putting the ball on the floor before making a move, instead of catching and going up strong...
The East isn't gonna be any easier next year. This could be Orlando's best look at the title for a minute...
He's not. He's introverted. A lead by example dude as opposed to an authoritarian type.
He's just one of the fellas. But he'll learn.
Yes they were capable of beating the Magic. And all they had to do was win at home. All the Cavs had to do was win at home.
Past few years? Stop repeating the hype.
Both teams feature different rosters and coaches.
Different rosters over the "past few years."
C'mon man.
I'm talking about this year. The Cavs are 1-0 versus the Magic at home, this year. And were less Jameer Nelson for that series.
And everyone knew, save for myself wining a bet, that the Cavs would beat the Magic in the ECF.
Vegas odds makers.
Sports analysts.
Stans.
Everybody.
And they proved they were capable of beating Orlando on the court, throughout the series. They just couldn't seal the deal.
Bottom line.
It's crazy. How many of us were screaming tonight (and the entire playoffs) about Howard always holding the ball low, or putting the ball on the floor before making a move, instead of catching and going up strong...
Exactly
Howard has been playing basketball too long to have to put the ball on the ground before going to the basket
Catch the ball at its highest point, keep it there, and attack the basket nigga
I was kind of joking with that one...while he did step out of line a bit with that hit, the Lakers needed some type of response there to show that they weren't gonna back down to the toughness shown by the Rockets. That was right on time IMO.
no he shouldn't because that was absolutely not necessary (even if Gasol MIGHT have said something to him beforehand) and he may end up getting a flagrant 2 (athough I hope not)
dwight howard still a lil baby.
Fisher is a class act...
but I still won't excuse him for what he did to Scola
That was the defining moment of the series....think on it.
