My Knicks blow goats right now....I'm getting sick of the Lakers and although they'll probably win, i kinda like the Mavs - man i hate rooting for any Dallas team, but i like Mark Cuban and Steve NashComment

I'm the other vote. I would not be surprised if Portland wins the West this year. I root for Dallas, but they don't play D and you have to during the playoffs. Shaq eats Dallas as a snack.Comment

Sportswriters are very bad historians. The latest example it the trend to start discussions of the upcoming NBA Finals by posing the question: "if Kobe wins another title or two, does that put him in the same sentence as Michael Jordan?"
Are you kidding me?
Let's look at a few facts, shall we?
Jordan played in six Championship Series, winning all six. He was the MVP of... you guessed it... all six.
Kobe has played in four Championship series, winning three. He was the MVP of... you guessed it... none of them. In fact, Kobe hasn't played all that well in the finals, with a shooting % hovering around .400. In the three series he won, he was essentially carried by Shaq (who, of course, was the MVP of all three).
Looking at the playoffs as a whole, Michael played in 179 playoff games (would have been more had he not taken his baseball hiatus in his prime), and averaged 33.4 points (shooting % of .487), 6.4 rebounds and 5.7 assists.
Kobe has played in 146 playoff game, averaging 24.2 points (shooting % of .447), 5.1 rebounds and 4.6 assists.
Jordan was the best of all time. Kobe does not need to be comparable to Jordan to be an all time great. The problem is, sportswriters always want to act like they are watching something that has never been seen before.
They aren't.-06-04-2008, 01:55 PM -
If you had to bet the house on game 6, who would you bet on?LAKERS2CELTICS3-06-16-2008, 06:14 AM -
I would love to see a Lakers vs Celtics final. Lakers have a very tough road to the finals though as the WEST is loaded with very good playoff teams.
I would also like to see SHAQ and the Suns knock off the Spurs.
There is a potential for a Lakers (KOBE) vs SUNS (SHAQ) series. Wouldn't the NBA love that.-04-17-2008, 03:18 PM -
I don't get to see much of the Lakers out here in Mass.. How do they look??
Make a splash in the playoffs or what?
How's this kid Bynum look?
I am overly excited that the Boston Celtics have lost 14 in a row!-02-07-2007, 10:26 AM
