With the way Detroit is playing right now, I'd still rank the Celtics #1. But the Cavs might be the hottest team in the East.

1. Celtics
2. Cavs (they are going to beat the Pistons again)
3. Detroit
4. Orlando

Actually he's averaging 13 ppg on 33% shooting with plays run for him since Bynum went down 4 games ago. He's pretty bad no matter how much you give him the ball. 17 ppg on 43% shooting without Kobe too. etc. Though I don't think anyone is surprised you got this wrong too.

What is up with Minny and Phoenix this year..... And Orlando just killed the threes, 18 made?

Horrible loss by the Kings, much needed win for the Clippers.

Very happy to see Kirk Hinrich had a career game tonight, especially considering his slump. Maybe he gets back to consistency now.

I really hope so. I love Hinrich and really hope he stays consistent.

Who said anything about since Bynum went down? Odom still shoots a better % than does the leader on the team. The leader of the team doesn't even shoot as good as the team average.

Went to the Spurs-Lakers game and it was two separate games. First half Kobe looked like Magic and Jordan put together. Turiaf was finishing strong. MBenga looked like crap and was pulled immediately.

The 2nd half the Spurs came out and you could see the momentum change but the Lakers were still hanging in there until the last minute of the 3rd when Odom just made some (Please Use More Appropriate Word) plays. He made some frustrated fouls and threw that inbounds pass that turned into another three that pushed the lead to 10 pts right at the end of the 3rd. Odom had Finley defending him and didn't do anything with it. Spurs starting lineup was Duncan, Finley, Parker, Barry and Bowen.

Why didn't Odom punish the Spurs for putting 4 perimeter players around Duncan. He was playing so bad Phil pulled him until the last 5 minutes of the game. Odom is at his best being the 3rd option........

I actually like Kobe, but him being compared and some saying he is better than all time greats is why I speak out on it.

What has he done significant over an extended amount of time to show his domincance?

How many times has he led in PER? What about Win Shares, Player Wins, OWS?

His significant dominance is 2 scoring titles which is nothing because T-mac has 2 and Iverson has 4. Also, how many years has he led in the playoffs in scoring average or total points? Like twice maybe.
What about historical playoff performances? Kobe best average in the playoffs is not even as good as MJ's career average. Also Kobe has like 5 games of 40+ in the playoffs, which is good and all, but when a guy like Iverson has 10 games of 40+ in the playoffs and more 50+ games it shows that Kobe certainly hasn't separated himself from many in his own era.

I was talking about currently.

Current day Jordan can't hold a candle to Kobe :lol:

(But yes career wise Jordan >>> Kobe)
