Would a paul vs kobe WCF be a dream match? 

Post#1 » by WadeKnicks2010 » Wed May 7, 2008 9:18 pm

When was the last time the two absolute best players in the NBA vsed each other head to head? When was the last time they were both perimeter players? This could be a dream match unlike anything we've ever seen before. Two elite perimeter players, the two best players in the game.

Make it happen Stern!.. oops I mean Hornets and Lakers! But for real, they're the two best teams in the West and have the two best players in the West. I'm getting a hard on!

Both players are unguardable, so it would be entertaining. The Lakers have experience playing against a PG oriented team with athletic big men the last 2 years. Byron, the ex Laker, versus the Zen master. Peja, multiple playoff choker in the Laker/Kings matchups, with a chance to redeem himself. Kobe being Kobe. It would be fun.

It's the ideal matchup, but even Jazz/Hornets would still be solid. Pretty much we'll get an enjoyable WCF for everyone if the Hornets just move on.

It would actually be:

CP3 vs D Fisher

And

K Bryant vs M Peterson

CP3 and Kobe will dominate.I would much rather see a CP3 vs DWill matchup.

Personally, Miami or Seattle vs the Lakers would be a dream matchup. I'd be okay with the Lakers blowing out any opponent in four games.

But neutral fans want a real series, so yeah, NO/LA would be fun

Would rather see if the Lakers can go through the Champs to be the champs.

I'd still take LeBron and Duncan over Paul if I had to win a game tomorrow.

I don't think it matters much ratings wise between LA/SA or NO/LA.

A dream match would be Lebron vs Kobe

certainly looks like we might be headed that way at the moment....BUT, i feel jipped that we could miss out on a CP3 v DWill matchup.
