Official 2010 NBA Playoffs Discussion

When people say Kobe is better than the greatest basketball player who ever lived, that is the definition of overrated.

Kobe is the best player right now in the NBA.

That's like saying you heard Colts fans call Peyton Manning the best QB or Yankee fans saying Derek Jeter is the best SS. When your team has an athlete of that caliber of course you will say he's the best. Ask Cleveland Cav fans (for the time being)

You bitch about Kobe taking too many shots yet bitch when Lebron doesn't? You are a bonafide hypocrite who just wants to rag on Kobe. You bring up all these examples of bad playoffs yet avoid Lebrons? Both Lebron and Kobe are overrated IMO compared to the other greats that have played the game. The point is Kobe and Lebron are switchable at #1 and #2 depending on your preference. But if what all athletes say rings true then Kobe > Lebron due to the amount of rings. Another question for you where is Lebron? Oh at home and not playing in the finals.

Don't give excuses as to why Lebron's team isn't good they are NBA players. The thing is literally every post you make is how Kobe sucks and you know for a fact that is just jealousy. No one can honestly say Kobe or Lebron or any other premier athlete any any sport sucks unless they are completely intellectually- disabled, don't know what they are talking about, or just has their head up their own ass.

It doesn't matter how you get a W, because in sports a bad W is still a W and that's why athletes play the sport/game (or so they say)

That or how badly the Lakers need Bynum. I mean without him they can't rebound for shit.

Rather than talk about this I'd like to not. Everybody knows if I sat down I could write a list so big proboards would run out of host space. But, to claim I feel this way because of the Knicks, LeBron or jealousy is laughable. I've hated on Kobe since before I knew who LeBron was, the Knicks were out of contendership and jealousy for a pro athlete extends about as far as his ability... not his character. I call out his character, maybe in part because I wish he'd use his ability more tactfully.

The Celtics are a great team with great players.

Been up late watching the replay.

From 5 minutes until 30 seconds left in the 4th quarter the Lakers only put up 7 points.

First off, the Celtics defense was sick.

2, ALL of the Lakers looked like crap.

3, the difference was team unity and effort. The Lakers just couldn't match the Celtics effort and tonight the Celtics looked really confident.

If the Lakers can find their performance from game 1 at home, a similar performance to this Celtic one tonight, they could do it.

It's not going to make or break the game if Kobe puts on a shooting show, it's plays where Kobe, Gasol and another defender aren't boxing out Rondo on the offensive glass and just standing inactive near the hoop.

My only concern is the referees. They get all starry eyed in LA and if this game is close, they swing it the Lakers way. Boston MUST stay head strong to win this thing!

The series is preety much over. The celtics will just have to wrap it up on tuesday. IF the celtics have to go into a game 7 then i think the lakers will take it.
