Kobe was so pissed at luke walton, and I am right there with him walton SUCKS!!!! That one play where kobe got his rebound off the glass and dunked it...words don't describe if they had won that would have had to been in the play of the year contest along with cp3's behind the shoulder flip shot against SA. I say lakers regain form next game winning in Utah as they are one of the 4 teams to win in Utah this year. 4-1 lakers win in 5.

that was a great move right there, plus did you see kobe draw the contact from harping then sink the jumper..what amazes me more is the passes that kobe comes up with now, did you see the one to ronny turiaf for the and one..i agree the lakers will come out on top in this series with the jazz, kobe is just off the charts he's game is begining to resemble shades of jordan during his prime
 
Jordanesque...we had a 45 minute heated discussion about MJ, Kobe and King James and AI. I have 2 good friends who one is a DIE HARD Lebron fan and the other his roommate is a DIE HARD AI fan...the arguement was they gave Lebron the name "King" and isn't living up to it. My buddy who loves lebron said the only reason they call him king james is because of the bible, lol he said if his last name was rod that they would call him "Hot Rod" lol very good arguement had me rolling in the floor. Then the other arguement was AI going to the finals and winning MVP 2001 I think ( not certain) and that he was a elite player up there with jordan, and I said well just becuase he went to the finals doesn't mean anything without the ring, and Lebron also went to the Finals but he doesn't have a ring does he. We at least all agreed that Kobe has to win at least 3 more rings to even be level with jordan. And keep in mind that Jordan took two years off to go play baseball when you know if he was playing b-ball he'd have won 2 more rings making it 8.

Lebron doesn't live up to that name (yet), but really he shouldn't have that name yet, so it's not really his fault. The idea that they call him King James is because of the Bible, is silly. In fact, it makes less sense when you say that, I'd like to know how he got that idea.
AI is one of the most talented players ever to play the game. And I think he is the best ever at his size. It sucks for him because he has the talent of Jordan, but just in a body thats a little too small to dominate.
 
He ment that they gave him the NICKNAME "KING" because of the story...just like if his last name was rod it would be "hot-rod". It has nothing to do with him being the "King" of NBA basketball. It is a oxymoron...its all the media, and Nike mainly that inflate his ego to "King" sized proportions. His intentions were not to make it ok to call him "king" james, but to just point out that names are given to any and everyone based on folly's. Thats all.
 
Why did Turkoglu waste 4-5 seconds?!?! That ball should have went straight to the rim with 8 seconds on the clock! What a stupid play.....:screwy:
 
Yup. Now Cleveland can't miss a shot, and Boston seems to have forgotten how to play that defense that got them to where they are. All on top of the fact that Rondo is showing his complete inexperience and immaturity. He thought he was going to dunk on James one on one? WTF......That's only one example out of an entire game filled with his bad moves.
