Anybody notice how much better the Lakers were without Kobe?

[freelee]

Listen, you can make all the excuses you want. The point is they were up 3-1 and lost. Not only that, but Kobe basically threw the last game of the series because of his selfishness. I don't know how you could possibly try to defend this.

all kobe fans ever have are excuses

[freelee]

2-2 this would be one of kobe's most epic collapses

[williams22]

Kobe has taken 1 more shot than Lebron so far in 4 games yet has 44 less points

[nmr123321]

lol

[freelee]

Kobe has taken 1 more shot than Lebron so far in 4 games yet has 44 less points

and kobe nuthuggers still think he's MVP

[HoulihansTX]

I have never been more wrong in my life.

Regular season games send out so many misnomers.

[DennisGreen]

LOL good thread bump

[Climate]

...............

[Climate]

I did.

Much more efficient on offense.

There's enough talent on this team to win without Kobe for a long time.

[HoulihansTX]

Well deserved

[sideline36]

You haters are simply on crack!

[Goat Milk]

Lebron hasn't been letting his team down this year like Kobe has

[HoulihansTX]

You haters are simply on crack!

now how can you defend lebron throwing away 2 games? he doesn't have an injured elbow, where is his surgery right now choke star

[sideline36]

Is that crickets in the background?!!

[zogdog]

Kobe will either win or lose game 7 almost by himself. I see him throwing up 28+ shots.

[Climate]

I think if you take Kobe away that team is a contender. They have played GREAT together for 2 games, imagine after a few years. Very unselfish group. Lamar Odom is looking like the Old Lamar. He is very underrated, very versatile player.

[kobefanatic]

Please explain to me how Lebron choked in the playoffs? He performed better than Kobe ever has. His team wasn't good enough to beat the matchup problems they faced against Orlando, it wasn't Lebron "choking". If you think it was, then Kobe choked for 3 years after he forced Shaq to be traded.

2 straight games against boston choke star

[kobefanatic]

Alas, we've reached the playoffs. Now when Kobe sucks and causes his team to lose (like he's been doing since the all-star break routinely) you Kobe-lovers have no more excuses.

where's lebron? did he have his elbow surgery yet?

[kobefanatic]

Sure, but can do it against most teams. By all means though keep thinking Kobe shooting 25-30 shots a game is the way to success, that will guarantee a ring for the King.

OMG love your intelligent posts about lebron

[kobefanatic]

Kobe has taken 1 more shot than Lebron so far in 4 games yet has 44 less points

kobe has played 2 more series than lebron where is his elbow surgery now? shouldn't he have one now? i thought he was badly injured

[kobefanatic]

56-41 Lakers at the Half.

Man Kobe needs to comeback soon.

Anyone notice he doesnt even sit on the bench to watch the games?

I really think the team was doing back flips in the locker room when he decided to sit out these last few games.

Really hope an analyst gets off Kobe's jock and point out the Lakers success without him. *sigh*

[shari91]

This thread always makes me smile when I see it on the first page.

Good on you for having a great sense of humour Houli!! We know you were only joking when you started this one.

[MrSink]

absolutely weird look la bench played very good in game 6

[beanbag]

La will win no matter what

[HoulihansTX]

[shari91]

[sideline36]

I think the victory about says it all!! They need Kobe, all of the double teams created so many opportunites for his teamates!

[kobefanatic]

what are you now kobe haters

[HoulihansTX]

Guy needs to take a month off.

He is having a horrible 4th qtr.

1 for 5. Don't worry, he's clutch

[The_Kid]

Shades of '06 Kobe. Way too stubborn and still tries to do way too much.

[Hexum]

There is NO way they 3-peat. They arent even playing as a team, kobe being selfish and you see it. No one cuts or even move because they know kobe is gonna jack up these crazy shots.
