Official 2012 Lakers vs Thunder Playoff Thread

[curryshotta]

he sure fooled me with his time in toronto

if you had a coach worth a damn you'd be running the pick and roll in the half court offense and killing everyone you faced

Spo has misused Bosh in this offense from the jump.

I been saying it in the Heat thread.

Anyway this game was a heartbreaker if you are a Lakers fan, because you were in the driver's seat with the clock running out and you had the advantage of being able to go back to what had been working for you.

Ibaka CAN NOT guard Pau for any extended period of time.

 

[curryshotta]

bosh is a power forward with great skill he can dribble he can pass and he can shoot and he has proven that he can finish.

is he a big big man NO and he wasn't before you ran out and signed him.

if you ran the pick and roll with bosh with consistency then it would be perfect by now after 2 years of playing together. you can't just randomly do shit...remember when the offense wasn't clicking and you said they need time? well he does too. pick and pop pick and flash pick and cut.... 90% of the time the person guarding bosh can't guard him in the open... and the person guarding bosh can't guard lebron either
and switched as well


so why wouldn't you run that shit until someone could stop it?


nobody else on the team can create a shot.... bosh wade and bron that's it

everyone else is stand there and shoot

Good Morning Sir

Do you like the weather in Miami.....I have a coaching postion I would like to discuss with you

Back to the 08 BGOL days

Kobe losing the chips!

 

[SpiritualPorn]

Re: Thunder Playoff Thread

that wouldn't help.

tobe has proven that he's too stupid and lacks the basketball IQ to grasp offenses that are not the triple post.

first with coach tomjanovich, now with coach brown.

asked for a return to the triple post crutch during the regular season, and now leads a mutiny against coach kruester.

whined during the all star break about how it was too difficult to get shots off and he had to work too hard. great work ethic.

Cran......

Thanks for keeping it real

I know you must have loved how Kobe's "flu" game turned out.

 

[FJP]

LOL@ the bullshit in this thread...

First of all I don't care how you look at it Kobe choke/gave/gifted this game away. Not in comparison to Lebron but in comparison to the word choke. Lebron didn't have anything to do with it..Kobe blew it. Lebron AND Wade blew it the other night.....

I could care less how ESPN covers it, but he blew it. If YOUR man scores twice while you turn it over and miss...it's YOUR fault. Excuse to lose a 7 point lead in the final 2 minutes. Rings don't absolve that. Ironically cat seem to not realize that this "clutch" that Kobe supposedly is, has never really shown up int the playoffs. His success rate is extremely low in those particular situations. Like I used to say in the vs. Jordan threads, where is his playoff "Moment"?

Kobe is great at being the best player on the superior team but overall he's never overachieved. When they beat Orlando they were simply the better team. The Boston series, he did great but in his best games they lost. This shit isn't new. This is the same old Kobe.

Kobe has ALWAYS been a selfish gunner who has never seen a shot he didn't like. BUT the superiority of his teams has always masked that. The point is this isn't about Kobe getting old or any of that...it's the fact that the team around him isn't good enough to pick up the slack anymore.

All this bullshit about rings is a smokescreen. A fuckup is a fuckup no matter what you accomplished in the past.

[unknownsoldier]

everything you just typed is false

he had NO HELP he couldn't rest and couldn't depend on anyone else on the team to score consistently
true or not?

and add to the fact that HE DID PLAY DEFENSE under woodson you can throw that whole post away.

dudes commenting on reputation and not actual sight. he played hard on both ends BUT he had no help on the offense and the heat dared anyone else to even shoot so yes...3 all stars guarding and swarming 1 person and the rest of the team can't shoot for shit will get you a what?



and bosh is down 1 game and what did you get a what?

not so easy to do it by yourself is it?

Melo played both ends of the floor w/ Woodson as HC

Well said. I've been saying for years that Kobe's rep is moreso about the end result (championships) and things outside of his control rather than what he's actually done.

 

[KingTaharqa]

Kobe can choke all he wants, he's got 5 rings! His 5 rings are gonna help him in Games 3 and 4.

Them rings didn't help against Dallas last year when they got swept.

Won't help him now.

All that past history means nothing.

Winning a ring 3 years ago has nothing to do with winning today.
Smarten up Jake.

This year more than any the league is wide open.

What does winning a chip 3 yrs ago help you do today.

In terms of greatness, that's where rings come into play.

Act you age & not your shoe size nigga.

 

[largebillsonlyplease]

Good Morning Sir

Do you like the weather in Miami.....I have a coaching postion I would like to discuss with you

shoot, i'd have the heat unbeatable half the battle is already taken care of, they want to play defense. simple concepts would make them unstoppable in the half court and if they become that, then you can't beat them

First of all, are you a Chicago fan or a Miami fan, because I sure as hell can't tell with the way your head is always up Lebron's ass. You spend more time talking about Lebron than you do your own team.

So who's the best player in the NBA? Then why the fuck isn't he the best player in the final two minutes. His success rate is low, everyones is. The difference is Paul Pierce tries. DWade tries. Melo tries. Why do you play the same role as Joel Anthony at the end of games?

I'm still waiting for someone to give me a good reason for that shit.

So yeah Kobe and Lebron aren't the same, Kobe's trying, Lebron's sitting over in the fuckin corner biting his finger nails.

And I still don't understand the constant comparisons to Jordan to try and diminish him. Who the fuck is even saying that. Shit, can you compare Lebron to Jordan? The three MVP invisible muthafucka.

 

[Better]

It boggles my mind what motivates some of these dudes to nit-pick Kobe's game, but claim he's overrated. If he's not as good as we say he is, what gets you off on pointing that shit out every thread with his name in it?

I guess ya'll like to pick fights with ol' ladies too. We know they aren't too good at defending themselves. That ought to be an easy victory.

While you're at, go post up at your local pre-school, and wait for some of those punk ass kids exit with their moms so you can push them both on the ground.

I mean, since we're into debating day after FUCKING day about why a wack player is wack, those activities should definitely appeal to your kind.

Word to the wise: Kobe failures can't negate his successes - nor can they soothe your disappointment over your team/favorite player not winning as much as he has.

I mean, you'd think these dudes would be more at peace with Lebron's 3 MVP's. If you keep attacking Kobe, I'M going to start to believe you wish his player had five NBA championship rings.

Please don't make me assume that, guys!


I wouldn't have a problem discussing basketball with you dudes if you didn't take the shit so fucking personally. . How can I take cranrab seriously, for instance, when he refuses to call my player and his team's name right?

How can I debate with FJP when he's only 2% less crazy than crazy than cranrab and xfactor when it comes to Kobe? I give actually give Lebron credit. Dude is a legendary talent, and has the CAPACITY to go down as a top 5 all time great if he can get some rings to add to his individual accomplishments.

Why you niggas gotta roast Bean like he fucked your baby momma and left the condom in the baby seat? Some of you cats sound mad, and I don't understand why you're so fucking mad.

 

[curryshotta]

so I was doing some reading about this game online....there are people who seem genuinely angry that Steve Blake took that shot.


It was a wide open shot......that they got cause Westbrook got caught napping.

of course it boggles your irrational mind. rational people make claims, then proceed to present evidence (which you dismiss as nit-picking) that substantiates the claims. fakers fans and tobe stans (such as yourself) merely hope that repeating bogus, fictional accounts will revise history.

thanks for proving my point. didn't you just moments ago edit your post to include this hysterical rant? can't seem to bring any FACTS to the table in a discussion, just more fanboy caping, rushing to the defense of tobe. "my player"

but you can employ the ad hominem with reckless abandon. bravo.

he gets paid to take the shot i have no problem with him taking a wide open shot since the defense was geared to not let kobe get the ball

best you can do is ignore the morons.

only the largest of fools would disagree with that specific choice by MWP. i saw this afternoon where 1 idiot even suggested that the play was supposed to be a flare screen for tobe TO GET TO THE CORNER FOR A SHORT THREE.



the flare screen didn't work anyway, as the thunder was prepared to switch.

why would anyone want the black dumba to take the shot anyway? how long had it been since the garden weasel had made a FGA prior to that?

 

[AlexanderNevermind]

alot of yall niggas don't know shit about the game
take yall asses back to the playground and play 21 or some other street hoop game

if those people want to be angry with anything that transpired, it should be the behavior of the greatest poseur in the game after steve blake's shot missed.

instead of keeping his head in the game and his emotions in check, the garden weasel proceeded to throw a tantrum WHILE THE BALL WAS STILL LIVE.

yet this is the false competitor who moments earlier had admonished his teammates to "keep playing". the same Most Visible Phony who in the previous series slighted his teammates by suggesting that MWP was the only player that could be depended upon to "play hard" and "play with that sense of urgency".

 

[MadWun]

A bunch of disturbed mentally ill folks in this thread.

We even have a male stalker amongst us who is infatuated with everything Kobe related

The hate is strong!!!

And FYI, I totally agree that Kobe choked and is the main reason the game was lost in the last 2 minutes, but some of you here can't wait for Kobe to fuck up so y'all can pounce on him

Bitch made ass fools!!!

[drowzie]

Same ole shit to me. We lose a game, mufuckas post a 300+ page post....when we win, niggas be hiding behind they couches and shit....dont hear from them till next season...ha, ha...funny mufuckas. OKC did what they was supposed to do ... PROTECT HOME COURT!! Now the LAKERS have to do the same. It ain't nothing, too early to be getting all hyped up. Holla at me round game 4 or 5...rookies!!!

 

[largebillsonlyplease]

GOOD START for the lakers
as i said inside inside inside inside

if im brooks im telling westbrook to distribute the ball or you're not playing period

and there was no excuse for him not getting back on defense he's the fastest on the court either you show effort to team ball or you don't play.

great start for the lakers though long as they stop trying to get it to kobe and start feeding the big men they'll do great

 

[TimRock]

And there goes the lead.

 

[largebillsonlyplease]

hell of a block!

and that's 2 fucking bogus ass fouls on harden
