Go back and look at Shaq and his field goal percentage in that series.... Wallace could do shit with Shaq. Im a Pistons fan and loved that team but we could do shit with Shaq...the less the Lakers went to Shaq, the better we did.
Now then go back and that series and look at Kobe and his shooting percentage..he shot less then 40 percent from the field in that series.
But let us keep it about this series and not past series.
Kobe is not shooting horrible like in that series...he is actually shooting at a good percentage..
the problem is that he has an extremely high percentage of their FGAs.... the Lakers play better with more rounded Field Goal distribution and when Kobe scores in the high-twenties-low thirties but is also distributing the ball....like in game 1

And for good reason. Artest is stinking it up..badly in this series. but the other starters arent playing badly...they just arent getting enough attempts on the offensive end.

Yeah it would of been tough for the Lakers to beat Detroit but Kobe made it easy as fuck.
Are you serious?
no big man on the planet could deal with Shaq down low when he was in his prime, including Ben Wallace. I will never say Shaq is 0% not to blame but Kobe lost that series for them bruh!

Shaq shot 81 percent from the field in game one. Kobe shot 37 percent but shot 11 more shots than Shaq
using one more game (game 3).. Shaq and Kobe took the same amount of shots but SHaq shot 50 percent and kobe shot 30 percent
well how about one more....(game 4) shaq shot 16-21 from the field (76 percent)... Kobe shot 32 percent and still took more shots than Shaq
well..one more... Kobe again shot over 21 shots in game 5 and still only shot 32 percent...shaq again shot a high percentage but only got 13 attempts..
That has been ranked by several different sources as one of the worst performances in the Finals (Kobe).... he completely shot his team out of that series..I was even pissed and I was a Pistons fans..lol
WTF?!?!?! maybe you need to look a that series again. Shaq did what he wanted against Ben.
details above.
Kobe played a terrible series. Prince dominated him defensively. What I'm saying is did Kobe single handedly lose the Detroit series or were these two guys at odds to the point that they would rather lose then put their egos to the sides for two weeks to win their fourth ring.
Shaq was the #1 guy on this team at the time. Jason Terry doesn't get the blame for the Mavs losing to the Heat, Dirk does. If the number #1 guy gets the bulk of the credit when their team wins then why wouldn't he get the bulk of the blame when their team loses.
Thats like people blaming Starks for the Game 7 loss against the Rockets. Ewing was the leader of that team and he should have threatened to kill Starks if he shot again and to feed the ball to him. When the games on the line you expect your #1 guy to either lead you to victory or defeat.
Hmmmm. How was Shaq the #1 guy at the time when Kobe was the one taking the most shots?
Hmmmm. How was Shaq the #1 guy at the time when Kobe was the one taking the most shots?
Shaq was still the most dominant player in the game at that time.
Kobe, Shaq & Phil all share blame for that Finals loss but it seems to be its Kobe 98%, Shaq 1% & Phil 1%. The players got out played by a hungrier team and the coach got outcoached.
All they have to do is win Game 6 at home. Is that impossible now?
They are showing a replay of the game right now on ESPN and in the 3rd qtr there wasn't one time that Kobe was the only one to touch the ball during his shooting spree. It was just like another poster said all his shots were taken in the rotation of the ball

I've never been so embarrassed being a Lakers fan. Even in 2008 the Celtics were clearly the better team so that loss wasn't as bad.
I'll go to my grave saying that if Malone was healthy that would have been a different series. The Lakers needed someone that could hid a mid range jumper because in that series all the Pistons had to do was either guard Shaq in the post or Kobe on the perimeter. Malone would have been that third scoring option that the Lakers needed but didn't have.

or maybe he's right.
or if you don't care for andrew bynum's perspective, maybe you'd prefer NBA champion and NBA MVP kevin garnett's view:
Q. You've seen Kobe have a hot hand many times. For a defense, how much is that something to dread, how much is that maybe a good thing if other guys fall out of rhythm on his side, and how much is that something to ignore and stick to your own game plan?
KEVIN GARNETT: From the standpoint that he's providing points for his team and he's in a rhythm, it's a bit dangerous. But for the rhythm of his team, then it works in our favor.
Q. Big game for you tonight, but talk about the ability to limit LA's big men to 26 points.
KEVIN GARNETT: Well, like I said, I thought Kobe for the most part provided a lot of the offense. He provided a lot of scoring. They usually run the triangle, and it really wasn't typical for what they did tonight. Our thing was to come in and rebound. That's the thing for these Finals. We've definitely got to do better on the boards as a group.
But for the most part those guys ‑‑ you know, I thought Pau did a good job when he did have it. He tried to get aggressive towards the end or whatever. But like I said, Kobe provided a lot of points for them. He was in a rhythm, and that's what it was

how about glen davis' word?
Q: How were you able to shut down the rest of the team outside of Kobe?
Davis: We just played ball. Kobe took a lot of shots; so we were hoping he’d take a lot of shots to take away from everyone else. So that’s what happened. A lot of guys didn’t have the ball in their hands because Kobe had the ball in his hands. If he can score, we’ll let him score. But we’ll make sure we try to hold everyone else defensively
pookie, i have to say, i do admire your tireless willingness to be the stooge patsy every time. you always come in these basketball threads, put your ignorant foot in your mouth, and are simply too dumb to realize how foolish your co-signing of fellow fakers fans is. bravo!

this dumb shit right here is why i enjoy reading pookie's posts so much.
he's like the village idiot, and it's too entertaining to pass up.
above, pookie is alleging that tobe's shots came within the proper flow of the fakers triple post O.
anybody want to answer the following question?
on the string of tobe's 7 Q3 FGMs, HOW MANY TIMES DID THE BALL FIRST ENTER THE POST BEFORE REACHING TOBE?
answer: ZERO.
and by post, to be thorough, i am including the LOW post, HIGH post, and PAINTED AREA in general.
that's right, the ball entered the post ZERO times before reaching tobe.

Re: Celtics NBA Finals Thread********
because of kobe's valiant effort in last night's game, do you think he'll have enough energy in game 6?
personally, i think the lakers are gonna be flat for game 6... with doc rivers allowing kobe to go off while holding everyone else down.

This series is going just like I had hoped.
I hoped the Lakers would get into pressure situations because I knew Kobe would try to do it all and freeze out his teammates.
Thank Goodness.
The passing in the post was killing the C's
BTW......Bynum has some heart..
It's only 3-2.
Lakers win the next game it's even.
They should get some of the ticky tacks they are used to back home.
Then the Lakers fans can write their Kobe hero stories.

Gasol didn't have a GREAT game, Lamar and Artest has yet to show up in the series (typical NY baller choke shit), but we headed back to the house where the bitch ass niggas seem to play better in front of the Hollywood crowd, so I'm optimistic about the series, all we need to do is win game 6 and it's on and crackin!!
