1st Time In Like 12 Years Kobe Playing Against A Better Player

**rm18** · 04-15-10, 04:52 PM

Durant probably better but Artest and Odom are such good defenders they can give Durant trouble

**will2survive** · 04-15-10, 05:19 PM

I agree Durant is unflappable. He hasn't played long enough but Durant is the 2nd best player in the NBA in my opinion---LeBron has the edge but he needs a championship soon

**pat venditto** · 04-15-10, 05:33 PM

Come on thunder!

**Otters27** · 04-15-10, 08:02 PM

Hope the Thunder can pull this one off. They just need one of the first two and they have chance.

**JOHON8** · 04-15-10, 08:06 PM

I love Durant but he's gonna be surprised how much Artest is gonna get away with defending him in the playoffs.

**pat venditto** · 04-15-10, 08:07 PM

Won't be suprised is the lakers get every call in this series.

**jjgold** · 04-15-10, 08:08 PM

Would love to see Okl City beat them

Artest is getting older and not a great stopper anymore

**rm18** · 04-15-10, 08:35 PM

Artest does not have the feet to guard the quick guys like he used to but he can guard Durant as good as anyone except probably Josh Smith

**kobefanatic** · 04-15-10, 08:35 PM

i think artest can put pressure on KD but westbrook will ass fuk fisher

**pat venditto** · 04-15-10, 08:40 PM

Kobe isn't the same player he was the past few years. His fingers are fuked up and it's affecting his shooting. This team has no heart which doesn't help either.

JJ,

Are you seriously saying that you think Durant is a better player than Kobe???

PLLLLEEEUUUUZZZZEEEEE !!!!!

Durant is a great young player and we could have a discussion about whether he is Kobe's equal (or superior) offensively... Durant 30 PPG, Kobe 27 PPG

But no sane person thinks Durant is the defensive player that Kobe is...it's not close.

So, please stop. You just look ignorant...

Doc

**kobefanatic** · 04-15-10, 08:51 PM

every year people seems to doubt the lakers, just like last year when they were taken by the rockets to game 7 people start to doubt them

**pat venditto** · 04-15-10, 08:52 PM

Kobe fanatic it's a known fact some of the lakers championships were tainted by the refs.

**newjerseydevils** · 04-15-10, 08:53 PM

durant is sick

they still have to work for it though, the refs are helping them in some games but they didn't hand it to them

**kobefanatic** · 04-15-10, 08:58 PM

damn i hope thunder's inexperience will show this time if not it will be a hard fought series for the lakers

**stealthyburrito** · 04-15-10, 09:06 PM

changing of the guard coming real soon.

**Wilforth** · 04-15-10, 10:22 PM

Lakers will win the series but won't be surprised if they lose Game 1.

**lunchbawks** · 04-15-10, 10:47 PM

okc has no chance, 4-0 lakers sweep

**kobefanatic** · 04-15-10, 10:55 PM

lakers will sweep it only is GASOFT acts like a man against KRSTIC, he should be able to school that bum easily

**GeeStack** · 04-15-10, 10:59 PM

Artest is going to scare the hell out of Durant. that dude is crazy. Phil already getting zen on Durant through the media. funny stuff

theyre gona need a few big guys to deal w/gasol and bynum

**sweetjones55** · 04-16-10, 01:36 AM

LOL Kevin Durant wins one NBA scoring title and gets his team the 8th seed and now he's better than Kobe Bryant, get real guys. Kobe is ten times more clutch, a ten times better passer, and ten times better on defense. I can't believe I just wasted 10 seconds even typing that

**AnotherLoan** · 04-16-10, 01:41 AM

Stern won't let the Lakers lose to the Thunder. No way.

**Chi_archie** · 04-16-10, 01:43 AM

looking forward to this

**2daBank** · 04-16-10, 01:44 AM

the amount of Kobe/Laker hate around here is amazing

Is this surprising to you considering its a public gambling forum where most of these squares bet the lakers -8 on the road and then hate them and get mad cause they didnt cover

**frostno98** · 04-16-10, 02:14 AM

Durant will be a better scorer than Kobe, when it's all said and done

He'll probably outscored Kobe in this series too!
