Kobe had an amazing game. He really showed why he is and should be MVP this year.
36 points, including the Lakers last 11 and the game winner with 3 seconds left, 13 assists, 7 rebounds, and 2 steals...
On the other hand, even though I absolutely HATE lebron, he did take it to the celts-but really, who couldn't right now. I bet vlade divac could come back and get a triple double on them. Anyway, he did have 36 points, 4 steals, and 7 assists...
I think the lakers are definetely the best team in the league now. With all the talk of the lakers not being a consistant team, I don't think they have lost 2 straight or 3 of 10 the entire season. The celtics are 2-5 over the last 7 games.

I think the "blame" lies with Portland. They said that Miles injury was career ending, so if thats true, they get compensated for his contract. Well, while Miles may not be very good, it's looks pretty clear that the injury is not career ending. So their pissed because if someone plays him, they get stuck with the contract, and while I wouldn't like it either, they are the ones who signed him to that deal, and they are the ones who declared that he wouldn't play again.
Now, if Miles told them he wouldn't ever play again, that might be a little shady, but I think it's easy to see what happened. Portland thought they caught a break when Miles went down, because that was a terrible contract, declared it a career ender, and hoped nobody would give him another shot. They were wrong.

They still have one more loss to spare, then they'll go undefeated......
It was like someone flipped a switch.As far as comparing Cle/LeBron and LAL/Kobe, there's actually another team/MVP candidate I'll throw out there . Orl/Howard. They've already beat LAL
, haven't played Cle. They started the season 0-2, first loss was Atl, and they DESTROYED them yesterday, being up by 50 at one point. This is the team behind them in second in the division. One of their other losses, to Pho, Howard got hurt and didn't play the second half. If Turkoglu plays well, they are hard to beat. Not because he is who leads the team (obviously Howard), but because when he's playing bad this year, it's really bad.Didn't the Celtics slide start right after losing to the Lakers? HAHAHAHA I'm a diehard LAKER fan so I stick with them but still try to be unbiased about things. My favorite non Laker is probably Chris Paul, man that little creep can play! No denying LeBron right now, Kobe still edges him out with clutch though and outside shooting imo, but WHO DOESN"T love the "crab dribble" funniest ish ever!

Howard is a BEAST!

I guess one out of four's not too bad But honestly, if Wade weren't by his side, he wouldn't exist this year. His assists, which are hit or miss, are usually courtesy of Wade finishing the play. And his points are from Wade driving to the basket, collapsing the entire defense, leaving him wide open 75% of the time (usually on the left wing). He is a terrible ft shooter, and his fg% isn't much better, but it's improved a lot. Yeah, I had him on my fantasy team, and dumped him....
The one thing I'll give him is his defense. He's right behind Wade, not just on the team, but in the league.

much like smush parker back when the lakers were all about Kobe..he'd get the open looks and was considered a good defender, he started to believ too much in himself and now look where he ended up
