Is it me or does kobe looks like he's getting healthier every game, he was all over the jazz on game 2, blocking shots 8 assist and 30 points.

phelan · 05-05-2010, 01:30 AM

he looks healthier because it's the fking jazz. they have to send help everytime gasol/bynum/odom gets the ball in the post, and other than AK-47 they have no defensive presence to put on kobe at all. so lots of help defense + cj miles / wes matthews playing d straight up on kobe?

kobe will slaughter the jazz all by himself.

utah..haha!

LA shouldn't have any problems making it to the finals this year.....unless Phoenix can somehow manage to play defense all the while maintaining their offense.....but I highly doubt it

tc20 · 05-06-2010, 03:31 PM

If I was reffing I'd call that a travel...but who knows? I think even the fans were a bit stunned bc they had no clue what to think and were expecting a whistle...lol

What Lebron did was legal guys. Taken from the NBA rules

"An offensive player may end his dribble by alighting off of one foot and landing simultaneously on both feet...Note that at this point, the player may not pivot; if he lifts either foot, the ball must be released prior to that foot returning to the floor."

This is an all too familiar scenario that the spurs are in right now...im talking about 2008 western conference semis against the hornets. Yeah we went down 2-0 and then beat them in 7. I say we beat the Suns in 6 and then the Lakers in 7.

And, are you forgeting how many rings we have in recent history??

This is just what im thinking.

And, are YOU forgetting just how old the big three for the spurs are???

I respect TD's game, but dude, that guy is OLD. The only reason they're still sort of hanging around is the sudden resurgence of Tony Parker, who had extended rest due to injury in the late part of the second season.

TD has had sporadic games where he shows "he's still got it", but the next outing he just looks tired.

In fact, it's really sad to see all of the game's greats age. No more Kobe, Timmy, Garnett, Pierce...well, actually, Pierce is a f*cking c*nt douchebag and not a basketball great, never mind.

agreed

so basically the Celtics were shat upon last night, KJ was ice cold. And what he said in the interview was right, they started the game with a sense of urgency, which is more than theyve done all season, hence the dismantling that took place.

wishihadnav · 05-09-2010, 06:09 PM

Go lakers!

wishihadnav · 05-09-2010, 06:32 PM

Hmmm 2-2 boston...what will happen??..haha

ct63084 · 05-09-2010, 06:51 PM

Damn lebron had an awesome game on game 3 but on game 4 he disappeared on the 4th seemed like he didn't want the ball at the end and just gave up.
