LA Lakers VS PHX Suns Thread

Lebron will get his rings. He is just 25 and has loads of talent. But right now, Kobe is the best player in the game. Lebron will get there, but right now he gets to sit and watch greatness.

Couldn't agree more. Kobe is far and away the best player in the game. The only way to stop him is to basically hope he misses. His fade-away might me the best ever. You really can't stop it. How many times is there two guys in his face and he drills that shot? The commentators just go "Wow. That play couldn't have been defended any better and he still scored."

Watch Kobe take over a game in the 4th. Lebron? ... not so much.

I'm ready to jump off the "I hate but respect Kobe" bandwagon and jump on the "watching Kobe is watching greatness" bandwagon.

It's called luck. He probably closed his eyes and threw it up there.

Just like when he airballed that gw shot..sooooo clutch!!

Oh spare me. LeBron would be going for his 6th ring if he had an unstoppable primed shaq and Pau Gasol.

Doesn't make Kobe any better.

hope the Lakers win. I can't stand any of the current Celtics.

Im not even going to dispute that because not one man can do it alone. If that was the case, Lebron would have some 'ships right now. But just because Duncan had Parker and Manu, or Jordan had his Pippen, doesnt make them any less great.

Well you said Kobe is the better player.

He's not.

LeBron >>>>>>>>>>>> Kobe

KOBE >>>>>>>>>>>> Lebron

Fixed

I'm just saying.

He had one bad series and everyone thinks he choked. He single handedly won game 3. Playing with scrubs for 7 years takes a toll on you. Look what happened when Kobe didn't get any help vs the Suns in games 3 and 4. They lost.

When you get zero help in the playoffs, you're done.

You think Bron Bron is staying a Cav?

I honestly don't know. I can't blame him if he leaves. He's going to have the same scrubs around him in Cleveland if he stays.

The one scenario that could happen is if LeBron convinces Bosh to come to Cleveland. The supposed "list" that Bosh sent out was false. Toronto is already wanting Hedo gone and vice versa.

Dan Gilbert(Cavs owner) is willing to pay whatever. If he's willing to take on Hedo's salary to get Bosh than he'll do it. Cavs have some expirings like West,Moon, Parker and JJ Hickson is extremely cheap. Plus Jamison only has 2 more years on his contract.

The reason Toronto would do this is to shed 40 mil(Hedo) for expirings and just start over. There arn't alot of teams that would take on Hedo's contract.

So, was gone fishing most of last week. Just got back last night. What did miss? Did Kobe take over and win the series like usual or did he pull an LBJ?

:laugh2:

Kobe wishes he could be Lebron for a day. Lebron is too legit to quit.

Why...so he can remember what it was like not to win in the playoffs and before he had a handful of rings?

It's pretty bad when I can not stand Kobe but listening to your whining lebron fan boy antics makes me want to defend him.

I wish I cared what you thought. But I don't, so I'll just carry on with my life.

Are you like a Lebron groupie with a subscription to teen or tiger beat?

So then, what you are saying SLATE is that Kobe took over like usual?

I don't think it was swept under the rug so much as it was overshadowed by his 9 points in the final 2:00 minutes of the 4th Qtr.
