THE NBA PLAYOFFS - '09!!!
- Thread starter batmon
- Start date
MJ was on his comeback trail and the team was trying to get their swagger back.
45 MJ =
but Shaq beat him.
true.
So when u mean his prime do u mean since his first chip or when he was gettin slapped up in Detroit.
it's a silly expectation...If the Lakers win this year they would be the least talented team to win a championship since the 81 Celtics.
So how did the Lakers get the second best record in the NBA with such a poorly staffed team? Are you suggesting that if they win this year...it's a fluke?
Not a fluke... but not much seperates the Lakers and the Magic...i'd bet if the Magic win it all this year the Lakers would still be favored to win it all next season....for whatever reason people expect Kobe to do more than other star players..past and present....i don't get it
I don't get this DIE/LeBoring shit.
Magic are the better team; not nearly as likable, but better, it seems. Yeah! Aren't we lucky! Two extra weeks of Stan Van, and the Blue team getting housed by the Yellow team. We're the BIG WINNERS!
I don't buy this at all. Are there heavy expectations on him? Yeah. More so than any player in NBA history? No.
BTW, I'm wiling to believe that Lebron is the better player than Kobe but that doesn't mean Kobe's overhyped. And looks like he's going to the Finals, not James.
Magic =
F*ck up with James leaving without giving a pound to the winners? NAGL.
I appreciated how gracious the Lakers and Nuggets were to one another after the last game.

I noticed one thing that seperates him and kobe. Kobe wouldn't have just given up, and let scared dudes take scared shots. Passing is nice, but it's your gawdamn team, take charge! Almost looked like a bailout by passing out to the perimeter and remaining quiet.
Also, Mo Williams was f*ckin' scared of Rafer or something. No swag in this series. He was pretty much the reason the Cavs were rolling up until this series.
Delonte West was fighting. So was Varejao. Other dudes were playing cautious in the first half and then played dead in the second. Weak as hell.
At least the Lakers go down swinging.
Wow, how soon we forget the Finals last year.
They were by far the inferior team. You would expect a little more fight out of Cleveland.
I'm saying - either you have heart or you don't. I thought Cleveland came up weak in this series but I'm not about to try to invoke the Lakers as the paragon for consistently playing with guts.

I wouldnt label the Cavs as weak. Going 6 games isnt bad.
It was a matchup problem.
The Cavs need a real Robin to LeBoring. He has no help.
Wally shooting Airballs in the Conference Finals?
The Illusion has run its course, and the NBA is gonna have to re-market this Frankenstein. If they dont watch out Lebron is gonna morph in the new A.I.
Great Player w/ mediocre teammates for 10 years.
If they dont recruit/swap/trade for a legit partner, he's going to become more spoiled than he is. If he leaves Cleveland he'll probably have to start over.
Amare,Bosh, whomever. A Young Low Post Player that commands double teams is what he needs to play w/.

Rashard Lewis was the man in Seattle.
Skip to My Lou is a NYC legend
Turkolu is the "Turkish MJ" who has been good for a minute
Howard jacked the Superman nickname from Shaq
Van Gundy built the Miami Team that went to the Finals and won
Pietrus was stagnant in Golden State and finally got some green light
The Cavs are BORING after LeBron......SRT8 BORING.
LeBron is the man but the NBA/Nike has done more than enuff to bloat this dude before his time.
This whole Insta-Star shit is for dummies, and im not feelin it at all.
KG just got a f*ckin ring. And it took a Boston fraternal business connect to make it happen on top of other factors.
Pay your dues BITCH.
