***The Official Laker's vs Rocket's Thread

wtf type of offensive sets are they running???....nothing inside all perimeter shots...& once again no farmar to counter Brooks!!!
 
I got called a "HATER" for saying the Lakers don't play with intensity on the defensive end consistently. If they win this series (which they should), they won't win a title playing like this. They have the talent to win it all, it's the intensity... the psychology of the team that is problematic.

c/s... and Im a Lakers fan
 
Dad?

Yes, son.

Why is Michael Jordan missing so many shots?

That's not Michael, that's Kobe.

I thought he was the best.

He's not son.

You called man. This b/s will not fly against the likes of Denver and/or Cleveland...
 
Lakers are my team, but Gott Dayum. you aint going to be any type of champion except a paper champion if you play like this. The starting five should be benched, tarred, feathered and horsewhipped

1. Michael is Michael. Whether he's the G.O.A.T or not is debatable - but it had to be more than skill that allowed Jordan to dominate the game the way he did. To think of the guys that are ring-less because of Jordan is incredible(I know it's a team effort, but without MJ ... come on...). So, while I didn't attend those games you attended, it would not surprise me if what you said is true.

2. Unfortunately, the Lakers are not the type of team you can count on to bring it every night. What they are is a very talented team that can run most teams out of the gym if they ever focus and bring the intensity.

To me, that is the BIGGEST difference between Kobe Bryant and Michael Jordan. Michael, mentally, was a lot more stable than Kobe. Outside of athleticism, which Jordan clearly had more of, I think Kobe can do most everything Jordan can do. I can tell when Kobe is focused and when he's not. When you see him coasting out there on the court, and not being assertive, the shots he take will likely not fall. He IS my favorite player, but he is very weird as an offensive player. It's like, he's either extremely hot or extremely cold. Michael Jordan was never a streaky shooter like Kobe. He'd knock down one, miss a few. Knock down three, miss a few ...

...but by the end, he's shooting around his usual fifty percent. Kobe is either going to go nuts in the beginning, and cool off in the end...

...or he'll be cold in the beginning, and go nuts in the end. It's frustrating, but I'm accustomed to him after all these years.

Interesting observations. I've always believed that Mike was much stronger mentally, but I never really thought about Kobe's streaky shooting until now. You're dead on.
 
Fish needs to come off the bench for real. He is getting too old and slow for this series.

Did they just give up on defending?
