LeBron is way too f*cking good. And now I'm starting to think the Lakers might fall to the Nuggets in the Western conf. finals. I wouldn't mind a LBJ-Melo final.

the cavs really need to worry about the celtics before they worry about the lakers. i will say this again. paul piercw is the most underrated player in the playoffs. if you all remember, he outplayed lebron last year in the eastern semi's.
i'm not saying cleveland isn't the favorite. but, if you think the cavs are gonna roll over the c's like detroit and atlanta, you're crazy.
the nuggets only look that strong because the mavs aren't good
I don't know, since the Billups trade I think the Nuggies turned into the 2nd best team in the West, and a team that can definitely give the Lakers problems. Not to mention, their bench is playing out of their minds, much better than the Lakers' bench. And no one on the Lakers can fly with the Birdman.

the lakers will not lose to the nuggets. promise. while the nuggets may be a rising team, the nuggets will fall to a team who is used to being here. give 'em a few years and maybe they'll overtake them. kobe(or the nba) will not allow the lakers to lose.

Don't make too much of the Lakers' experience. This is only their second year of being an "Elite" team. Sure, Kobe and Fisher have been there before, but Fisher is playing terribly right now, and Kobe can't win this thing by himself. Admittedly, the Nuggets don't have anyone who can guard him, but their bigs will do a number on LA both offensively and defensively, and no way Ariza can stop Melo. Also, the Rockets have exposed LA's vulnerability to the Pick and Roll, which Chauncey runs as well as anyone. And how can you not root for a team nicknamed the Nugs?
Hopefully your bet will be off, though, since it will be the ROCKETS against the Nugs in the WCF!!! Go Rockets!

i am making plenty of the lakers' experience because they deserve it. and i effing HATE the lakers. they're a seasoned franchise who are used to going to the playoffs, and have consistently had the talent to do so. this is NOT just the second year of them being an elite team(2000, 2001, 2002....). no, its not the SAME team, but teams like the lakers have the pull to bring in the kind of talent that allows them to always be competitive.
i was surprised as hell by the last lakers game, but i don't for one second think kobe will allow that to happen again...esp in LA.

exactly. they have talent. and more experience than anyone in the west. if you want to call that disgusting display in the finals last year experience. but, that just leads to my point. they're soft. they have no heart. it's a shame for kobe because he's such a competitor. you never know when his teammates are going to show up (odom, gasol, bynum, the most of the bench). denver is much deeper, and their bench is playing 100x better than the lakers bench right now. that being said, i still think kobe wills them to the finals.

im praying rondo knocks off his shit and starts playing serious for 100% of the game. dont get me wrong, i love rondo as much as anyone else on the team if not more (PG are kind of my fav position on any bball team) but stop showing your inexperience. these are the playoffs, im glad you can have fun and all while playing in them, just dont make it look like you are having fun if you know what i mean. there has just been to many times rondo has made a lackadaisical pass, not going to the basket hard, and that god aweful "trick" he pulls rolling the ball up to half court. CUT THE SHIT! PLAY THE GAME! /rant

I see the Cavs takin in this year. They've been dominant all season and in the playoffs with a great defense. West has come on strong in the playoffs and Lebron has lived up to his MVP award. I wouldn't say Pierce is the mostunderrated just because he's been an allstar before, and people recognize that he's great. It'll probably be the Cavs and the Celts in the conf. finals, but the Cavs won't have it as easy playing them as they did in earlier rounds.
The Rockets are a tougher and more gritty team than the Lakers, but i don't think Kobe will let them lose. And the Nuggets are playing great together and they have a shot in the conf. finals.
That's just how i see in playing out, but things can change. I've got to say, watching the Cavs play is great because of how great the play together and their physicality.

i agree kobe has to pick up a lot of the slack when his teammates don't show up. but i hate kobe bryant, so i don't really care.

I'll say it again because I believe it will eventually catch up with him but Pierce has got to be worn out, and I don't believe he can carry the C's offensively and defensively for another seven games against what I think is the best team in the NBA. But what is up with the Lakers. I know they won tonight but show some heart. Bynum isn't even worth the jersey he's playing since he has come back. Any decent PG will tear apart the Fisher/Farmar/whatever the other guy's name is. Neither Fisher or Ariza can hit open threes with any consistency. Odom looks like he is kinda worn down. Gasol appears to me to be the only player that truly cares. I'm an admitted Kobe hater but there is no way Lebron, KG, Pierce, or Billups would let their team skate through a series or playoffs like they are. Once again I hate Kobe so I hope this is the turning point in his career where he starts to lose a little bit. Oh and I am absolutely looking forward to Billups averaging 30-15-7-4 against the Lakers PG's. It is going to make me so happy.
Post by pimpmcgeorge on May 13, 2009 6:55:39 GMT -5
^^ Yup, Billups is going to light the Lakers point guards up. And Lamar Odom might be looking good against Luis Scola and Landry, but I'd like to see him get those easy dunks and hooks in the paint against K-Mart, Nene, and the Birdman. Melo should go off too, he usually tools on Luke Walton.
By the way, why does everyone hate Kobe? Kobe f*cking rules. He's just on a really soft, mentally weak team coached by an overly passive, possibly over the hill coach. I just hope he can keep his hands to himself when he's staying in Denver hotels during the Western Conf. finals. Can't have any more of those.

kobe is a conceited, arrogant prick. that's why i hate him. i'll admit all day he's one of the best to come through the league. doesn't mean i have to like him. lebron can do his thing without being such a jerk...kobe should take notes.
pimpgeorge...you still haven't called the stakes in our bet. or are you worried?
Post by pimpmcgeorge on May 13, 2009 9:34:31 GMT -5
Hahaha, worried? I think not! I haven't come up with anything yet, but I'm starting to think it should involve you having to wear a Kobe jersey at Roo.

I was at last nights game 5, and WOW what a comeback! The C's never cease to amaze me! They are fighting tooth and nail for everything they are getting this playoffs!
The Cavs... I would be shocked if we can hold them off this year with our weakend team, I just think Peirce isn't going to be able to play Labron like he did last year, because when he got tired Posey did a GREAT job on Labron...
If we don't win I am hoping for a Melo-Labron matchup in the finals!! I went to Syracuse with Melo and was pissed when Labron stole his thunder going into the NBA draft! I would LOVE to see Melo beat him to a ring!!!!
I was lying in a burned out basement With the full moon in my eyes. I was hoping for replacement When the sun burst thru the sky. There was a band playing in my head And I felt like getting high.

last year re ignited my dislike of Kobe Bryant. i never liked him in the early 00's when he was with Shaq. after the whole rape ordeal i thought he was kind of going to fade out, or at least not be the same Kobe Bryant but that wasnt the case, and i started to get on his side. then he was in the finals vs the C's and i was like "finally i can hate this mofo again"

um, there have been PLENTY of superstars to come through the NBA who don't feel they DESERVE to be an arrogant a-hole just because they happen to excel at a sport. its called humility...it's a nice trait to have. kobe "deserves" the grief he gets.
Kobe gets too much grief IMO. He's one of the best ever. Yeah, he's cocky, but he can be because he's so good. Unlike that no talent @ssclown Artest.
i agree kobe gets too much grief. alot of his problems with teammates result from him expecting more out of them. he works as hard as anyone in the league, and he sees lesser effort from his teammates, it's his job as team leader to get on them a bit. some don't like that. theyre getting paid 50 mil regardles, why bust your ass. although sometimes it seems as though he expects too much from his teammates.
as far as artest goes, he's one of the best on the ball defenders ever to play the game. period. although if he sneezes on kobe he might get kicked out of his 3rd game of the series.

How is Kobe an arrogant a-hole? Cocky, yes. A-hole, no. That seems like a gross over-statement to me. But coming from a Spurs fan, I can understand Are David Robinson and Tim Duncan still dating? I hope so. They were so cute together.
