Cavs >>>>> Lakers minus Bynum and Ariza. That's just fact.

whats up with kobe not chucking 3s to save us. We usually come back with his crazy 3 shootings when we are down.

Kwame Brown did do a good job bodying up ilgauska and rotating on to lebron for a couple possession.

He got benched when ike made a 4 pt play on him.

Derek fisher wasnt hitting anything today.

Phil Jackson's plays are so predictable durign the final 4 sec that basically kobe gets tied up with 2 or 3 guys leaving turiaf as the one who has to catch the ball at the 3 pt line.

I am really starting to think that Phil Jackson is overated as a coach. Cut the hes losing on purpose crap to teach a lesson crap, any monkey would figure out that a line up of lamar , famar, sasha, ronny, and vladi would not work because no body can create for himself or others.

But Phil decides to leave that lineup long enough for us to lose our 9 pt lead

lamar gets abused alot in all sorts of matchups that it is starting to get on my nerves. Hes too slow to guard sfs, but also to weak to guard post players.

the same can be said about luke walton.

When 3 out of 5 of your starting lineup are sometimes liabilities on both ends of the floor, you are not going to win many games.

I cant wait to see ariza and bynum back, both players can finish lobs that kobe throws at them

your hate for lamar is just as bad as bscott's hate for kobe...both of yall shut up lol

+1

[Kobay]

Fisher has been horrible lately and he takes 10+ shots a game and thats why we lose.

[Rox_Nix_Nox]

We signed mbenga to a contract and today he doesnt even play? Not that i want him to but mitch needs shake up this team now. Get artest mitchy do it. it's the jolt we need.

Reason for today's loss: PHIL JACKSON

QUOTE THIS POWERFUL POST

This loos is no one person's fault.
Both teams wanted it badly.
They just executed better down the stretch. LeBron drove to the hoop and hit the outside shots.
Lamar and Luke played OK. This loss was not their fault.

[zen_4_10]

Everbody...lay off Lamar. He was not the reason for this loss. There were far too many issues and Kobe not getting it done in the clutch is just as imprtant as any other player on the teams performance down the stretch.

Quite simply this team is not good in close games right now. We are small and soft and have not played the same style of basketball in the 2nd half we do in the first for 3 straight games.

Lebron is clearly the better player than Kobe when they matched up this year. Now I don't know about overall but in their head to head? Lebron bar none.

Lebron made the clutch plays and won both games. Today came down to Lebron man up defense and SHUTDOWN kobe. Kobe forced shots that did not go in. Lebron made the clutch shots when it matter.

Of course Luke Walton being an idiot did not help. Not like Luke would have made that 3 anyway, luke sucks so he would have missed. But remember a few years ago Kobe passed it to Luke at the last second at Boston or NY and Luke passed it back to him and the buzzer expired.

I just dont understand how can you compare with a SF with a SG????

I dont hate Lamar. The stuff that I post about Lo isnt anything knew. If you dont agree then I have to question what game are you watching and what do you expect out of LO. If LO was making 5 mil I would be ok with his performance. And please dont compare me to B-scott, I take that perosnal.

why does KOBE has to be clutch night in and night out.....Can Lamar be clutch for 1 game atleast????when was the last time lamar made a clutch shot,steal or a rebound???

All I remember is his horrible dumb head mistakes like Vs the Kings for example

i watched the game where lamar was 14/9/4..and was still blamed for the loss..phil = blame

[Rox_Nix_Nox]

dude, please shut the **** up . . . enough

9 point lead with 8 minutes left and Sasha and Farmar were clearing outplaying the Cavs role players.

Lamar outplayed Drew Gooden like he always does. Look at there stats over the last 4 meetings. LO is averaging 17 and 10,while Gooden is averaging 8 and 7.

Fisher over Hughes. Hughes doesnt knock down jumpers like this on a regular basis.He averages 9.6 points and shoots 34% for the season

Lamar over Gooden. He owns Drew Gooden

Bynum over Z

Farmar over Gibson

Sasha over Damon Jones

Varejao over Turiaf,but not by much


With Bynum out, Z has the advantage inside the paint.

Everytime we play the Cavs,the game comes down to the closing minutes and Lebron is looking to attack and not settle for long jumpers.

and those numbers are cool to you? That makes LO justified? C'mon man.,

[El Hardee]

I hate to say it, but James is much better than Kobe. Not only did he put up bigger numbers, but he did it in the flow of the game. I am not a Kobe hater, but I do find his fans who think he is the GOAT funny. He is the most overrated player ever to wear P&G, no to mention the most overrated closer in the league. I am very pissed right now.
