Kobe is impossible to guard. He jumps back so damn fast, the ball is in the basket before you can blink an eye.
Perhaps those that never watch Kobe and bitch about him will see how he can distribute the ball and recognizes defenses, and does it on a regular basis. As for Okur thy wouldn't be in contention without him. He has played a good series.
Those 2 no call push in the backs that the refs called the whole game killed it at the end. Series is not over and I hope the Lakers feel that way but i think they are a little smarter than that. Jazz will have their last chance to steal game 7. Inching closer and closer each game on the road. When Kobe started trying to take over in the 3rd, the Jazz made their biggest run in the game. He backed off and we didn't stop the other guys. Jazz have historically played their best ball when on the ropes and I do not think it is all that impossible with how close the series and each and every game has been.
do you hear yourself when you speak, underachievers dont have 3 Championships, several HOFs, Executive of The Year, and 4 starters who make the All-Star Team, I could go on and on.
You sound like a gump now. what, one title since the bad boy era? almost 20 years ago. :insane: I don't see Vinny the Microwave Johnson walking through that door. So much talent and all those allstars and only one :crystal: to show for it.
Wait, I thought we were discussing a franchise, oh by your rules we can only talk about certain periods of the franchise, like it has changed cities or ownership in the last 20 years. No my friend, when talking about the franchise, you discuss the entire history of the franchise or dont have a discussion at all. you can cherry pick another topic with someone else if you would like, but not Detroit, especially not with me.
those 6 straight conference finals, 02-07 = one (1) single NBA:crystal: face it delusional gump, y'all are the Atlanta BRAVES wearing basketball uniforms!
Look, you can pick a team and have a debate with me about Detroit against your team. But if you are going to try to criticize a franchise that has 3 Championships have been to the conference finals the last 6 years and to 2 NBA finals, then there is really nothing to discuss. So you can declare your team or stfu talking to me. simple as that. :thumb:
