Yeah the Lakers go in with a 17 point lead and escape with a 8 point win. Way to kill them Kobe...

I do not see the cavs losing this game. the western conference is the weaker of the conferences, especially defensively. Playing like that against Boston will get the Lakers beat again...The difference is, LeBron/Cavs lose this game. Say what you will, this is the WCF and ALL teams are good and expected to make a run! A true superstar takes the hit, and carries the team on his back to the win!! Your right, WAY TO KILL THEM KOBE!!!
LA is playing next week.... nuff said!![]()

People aren't going to remember the lakers blowing a 17 point lead they are going to remember the lakers going to the finals once again, and we all no ?!? Difference is, Kobe can take a team of second and third tier stars, and lead them, I honestly believe while LeBron is definitely the most overall skilled player in the league, this lack of killer instince is what separates him from Kobe. The best thing for him to do, is to try to link up with a DWade in the off season, that way he can still when needed defer to DWade at 'Killer' moments in the game. Outside of this, I don't believe his temperament will not allow him to win a Chip on his own.... Kobe, on the other hand, is DEFINITELY the closest thing we've had to Air since he retired.
OP,
who was more instrumental in the fakers G6 victory, ron artest or tobe?
just asking.





Artest had an excellent first half, I believe he had like 6 or 8 points in the second half. Once the Suns made their run, it was the best player in the league Mr. Bryant who made all of the big 4th quarter shots to hold off the Suns



Kobe could save 15 ppl from a burning building and you idiots would claim the fire wasn't hot!!! 

If he doesn't make those shots, the Lakers don't win the game, end of story. Oh, by the way, where is LeBron, Carmelo, and whomever else you clowns try to claim is better than Kobe? Home watching him play in his third straight Finals, and possibly his 5TH TITLE!!!! Call me a Stan, or whatever you clowns want to call me, but there are NO QUESTIONS AT ALL about his ability to lead a team, hit the big shot, or win the chip!?!?!? All of the other new school stars (outside of DWade who has ONE?!?!?!), Kobe has his and keeps getting his... LB was running around looking confused the last two games against Boston.... 








You guys are hilarious! If he doesn't make those shots, the Lakers don't win the game, end of story.

I always commend Kobe for his competitiveness, his preciseness, the way he studies the game and his goal as far as being the best player ever. There are not too many guys who want that responsibility but time and again he embraces the moment."

When he's on, mesmerizing
apparently CNN SI and you are all not terribly literate.
read lamar odom's quote again for content/substance.
what did he really say?
that's right TJ, after re-reading it, you can probably see that lamar odom made no evaluative statement about important things like ACTUAL talent or skill. lamar odom diplomatically stated that he commends tobe for:
1) competitiveness
2) preciseness
3) being studious
4) having a goal
lamar odom did NOT commend tobe for his ability to:
1) execute the coach's game plan
2) intelligently play within the O
3) make plays that help the team
but it's a semi-free country. you can continue to imagine whatever you like about tobe.
here is ESPN's play-by-play of Q2 of G6. http://espn.go.com/nba/playbyplay?gameId=300529021&period=2
it will have to suffice since i'm confident you don't have the video to re-watch.
Q2 of G6 is when the fakers got their greatest separation from the suns.
Q2 of G6 is when the fakers limited the suns to their lowest output of the game.
so take a look and see which fakers were contributing to the most critical segment of the game.
and take a look and see which fakers were not contributing to the most critical segment of the game.
or maybe you're just too mesmerized by tobe to honestly recall.

) and until the 4th quarter buzzer sounds the games is not over. That being said, I thought I'd help you Kobe Haters with a little information on how the game ended, with ANOTHER 'W' for the best player in the NBA.... and notice how absent Artest's name was in crunch time.... 26 POINTS IN THE SECOND HALF!!!!! 9 POINTS IN THE LAST TWO MINUTES OF THE GAME!!!! Please...you guys are clowns.... That's how you close out games Fellas!!! Oh, but he is the best player in the NBA!!!You may want to recheck your history or math on this one...And before you clowns talk about Kobe riding Shaq to the first three, how many have they won without each other, 1, and how many finals has Kobe been to without Shaq, 3, how many has Shaq been to without Kobe, 1!!!!
You may want to recheck your history or math on this one...
I should have said since Kobe.You got me, Orlando in 95. Oh, he lost that one too!!I should have said since Kobe.



It's cool. I can admit when I'm off!!![]()
i didn't mean that. enjoy.
Thanks for pulling me back!!i didn't mean that. enjoy.
I feel you!The whole damn thread huh?!?!?! After various posts I'm like..'What the fuck am I defending here?'
Thanks for pulling me back!!


I can appreciate all the effort put in to post the link to the second period pbp posting, but just in case you weren't informed, the game is 4 quarters.

9 POINTS IN THE LAST TWO MINUTES OF THE GAME

the game is absolutely 4 quarters. and Q2 was the most pivotal (as evidenced by the fakers D, and the team playing collectively as a whole on O)
as if we needed any more proof (beyond you creating this thread)
in case you weren't informed, the game is won by TEAMS, not by individual players.
2 FGs. simply awesome.
5 FTs from the suns playing the foul game for possession. catching an inbound pass and waiting to be fouled requires serious talent.
you definitely are mesmerized.



And you whiney assed Niggas can sit here and discount his career all you want, HE IS STILL THE BEST PLAYER IN THE LEAGUE!!!! 



It must eat yall cry baby assed niggas up that he Stay winning and in the spotlight!!!!
Crunch time buckets, points, etc. They won by 8 so obviously the 9 he scored were pivotal
I'm done arguing with you pitiful assed, whiney assed, Kobe Haters

so "crunch time" is holding a double digit lead? what a pussified generation of fans this is.
also, you intentionally avoided the point that it wasn't tobe who built or secured the lead. but definitely played a hand in giving part of it away.
you were done before you began. you fanboy stans make homo rah-rah threads and have nothing to substantiate your claims.
if you don't want to continue getting owned in your threads, educate yourself about the topic before you create another one.


Clown assed nigga!!! Pitiful Pitiful!!!! Anyway, you loser Kobe haters can talk amongst yourselves!! I've got a finals series to watch from home, along with LeBron, Carmelo, and all of you!!!! Must really hurt hating a winner huh?!?!?!? 


Later Bitches!!!You call my Dude winning series and playing for championships
