Well excuse me sir....

1. Kobe is doing things the same as Jordan,but at a much younger age...
2. You can count out Duncan and team... It is over... The question is: Will it be an embarrassment...
3. Look at the match-up if the Lakers play the pistons..... It will get ugly... And quickly I might add....
4. For Kobe is lights out on Defense and Offense every night....
***Kobe will get his praise when he pass up jordan in every stat and when he win about 5 more championship... Because people don't realize that the role players are locked in with huge contracts and they are still young.***

I think Kobe is good and could go down as one of the greatest but he is nothing like Jordan in his prime. But it looks like they may have a cakewalk to the Finals but I still wouldn't count out the Spurs....yet. And Detroit plays a better team game than LA. I'm tellin ya man the Pistons will shut down Kobe and put it on the rest of the team to win the games for them. I don't think they can do that. But we'll see.

[Chuckiedoo]

No team has never shut down Kobe.... And if you notice, the Spurs are a better defensive team than the Pistons and they can't do anything with Kobe.... But let's say that they do "Shut down" Kobe... Who will shut down the rest of the squad? Kobe only had 20 points last game but the team still blew the Spurs out by 30 points... And I want the pistons to make it out of the East but odds has it that they might get beat in 6... Sorry DL1 but it might be inevitable that the Kobe will go down as the best player ever...

[darklighter1]

Well lets get first things first I DO NOT want the Pistons to make it outa the East. I'm a Celtics fan but I think Detroit has been playing better in the playoffs so they are my pick to make it out. And I understand you think Kobe is all that cause you love the Lakers but if anybody is going to go out and do things never seen since Jordan my money is on LeBron. I don't even think you've scratched the surface of what that kid is gonna do.

The Spurs aren't that great a defensive team anymore and Detroit and Boston will give them (the Lakers) looks they haven't seen this year. But lets just see. If I'm wrong I'll admit I'm wrong. I just look at the West as more offensive while the East is defensive. And I always go with the better defensive team.

Gotta admit though this is pretty amazing.

That is a great way to look at it but the lakers can also shut teams down defense and blow there ass out also...

And the thing about Lebron, he play in the weak east where 3/4 of the teams are under .500... Secondly, when have you seen Mike score 45 pts and give up 41 on defense...? When have you seen Kobe do that? When have you seen Lebron make the all Defensive 1st or 2nd team? When will he make it? When have you seen Kobe or Mike shoot 20% from the field in the playoffs and still don't play any defense to make up for it?

Honestly, I think Carmelo will be a better player than Lebron in the long run... Simply because he plays defense and his style of play is better...

I'm almost sleep watching the east finals TBH...I'm looking for the Lakers to win tonight and then seal the deal at home on Thursday...And that damn video of Kobe and the Jackass crew was hilarious...!

[darklighter1]

Yeah looks more and more like Detroit basketball vs LA Kobes. :p

[AYHJA]

Both The C's and the Pistons look shaky...I mean, crazy inconsistent play from both teams has this shit in a serious toss up...I'm looking for Kobe and the Lakers to close the series later on today...I'm still not sure if the C's won't be worn out by the time they make it to the finals...

[darklighter1]

Yeah I really can't believe the series is this close and the C's have a lead! They are completely playing on fumes and it really shows each 4th quarter. Close all of game four then in the last three minutes Detroit builds a 19 point lead, then last night cruising through most of the game and up by 17 at one point just to let it get down to 1 in the last 2 minutes. Ridiculous. I think Detroit would give the Lakers a series still but Boston is going to be (as they say down South) plum tuckered by game 2 if they make it in. LA has unfortunately (for me cause I don'ts like the Lakers) got a cakewalk. :sick:
