Cavs vs lakers NBA Finals

[Kaiju]

They just have to remember how they handled LeBron...and shut down all others that are not named Kobe or Pau.

Which is easier said than done, since Bynum is a pretty skilled center. That, and Lamar Odom is a variable-type player.

You can't handle Kobe the same, their game is different. LeBron is a driver mostly. They shut down the paint. Kobe is a shooting guard, emphasis on shooting. It's a more difficult thing to stop. Double teaming him out high opens up slashers and post players close to the hoop.

Ahhh, the Lakers won again.... *sigh*

Guess they will get their own precious beautiful trophy.

Magic lost by fuckin blowouts too. That's how you know there not taking the trophy.

^ Ummm how did they lose by a blowout?...It went into OT and they lost by 6 points I believe.

I'm not worried, everyone was raving that the Mavs were gonna sweep the Heat and looked what happened.

Kobe...is much like LeBron in that he can use his speed to beat his defenders and score right at the basket. The only difference between him and LeBron is:

1) As you have stated, he is a shooting guard with emphasis on shooting. Even when faced with Tough Defense, he can make midrange and/or 3 point shots as if they were layups.

2) Kobe has teammates that matter. Pau Gasol is a very skilled big man that can score in the paint in many ways. Lamar Odom is a very versatile player that can score, grab boards, do whatever. Derek Fisher -- Ol' Fish -- has been there with Kobe, and has the basketball smarts to do all the little things necessary to win.

And overall, the Lakers are just better equipped all-around than the Cavaliers talent-wise.

About time. Magic has won... finally.

I'm not worried about them losing the series just yet. They are a tough team when they play together.

 

[mandaraya]
