Mavs were favs vs portland and okcnikkas make excuses for every team that the MAVS beat in the playoffs that year.
Even though the MAVS were the underdog in every series.
How did Dallas sweep LA in 2011?

Breh, Kobe doesn't need you to make shyt up on his behalf so you can feel better about his failures.

Nope. You clearly didnt watch that series you just ran to the box scores. Only a clown would assert their primary source of reliable offense shot them out of the series. Look we've seen the games, your attempt to boost up Pau gasol as dominant offensive force is tired. The myth that Kobe prevented pau from thriving is a damn joke. Pau Gasol ceiling as a score was about 20ppg. Kobe HAD to take alot of difficult shots because there was no one on the offense that could consistently create offense. Pau and Bynum could in spurts, but Tyson was dominating down low defensively.That ain't true at all.
Game 1 Pau had 15-11-7 and a block on 50% shooting, Odom had 15-12-2 and a block on 50% shooting.
They played fine they just didn't get opportunities becausewanted to put up 29 shots and 0 assists in the game.
In Game 2 it flipped and everyone but Bynum (18 and 13 on 8-11 shooting) played bad.
In Game 3 Kobe actually distributed the ball and Pau/Odom/Bynum combined for 51-24-6 on 48% shooting, they would have won the game if Dirk/Peja/Terry hadn't shot the lights out
In Game 4 everyone played bad.
Mavs could match up really well against Lakers. They were faster with more shooters and when they added Tyson Chandler I knew Lakers would have troubles against them. Too bad Cuban dumb ass let him ago, ain't like Tyson had his best year very next season in NY?

Kobe wasnt even close to 100% that series. Imagine bron trying to play through a knee injury.That discussion is in contingent to which narrative we want to use to fit the agenda
If we run with that narrative that Kobe is better than LeBron, then if Kobe can’t beat them (and got swept) what chance did really Bron have?
If we want to finally admit Bron is better and a far superior, then yes we need to heavily criticize and blame

All this cause you're mad your "GOAT" stuck on a measley 3 ringsKobe the competitor can't play 3 Finals without getting tired but LeBron out there putting up a 50-spot in his 8th in a row?
Kobe Bryant 7-18 for 17 points, 1 assist, 5 turnovers
Jason Terry, HIS DEFENSIVE RESPONSIBILITY, 11-14 for 32 points and 4 assists.
And people wanna talk about Terry and LeBron as if they even play the same position.
Spurs 2003, Pistons 2004, Suns 2006, Suns 2007, Celtics 2008, Mavs 2011....Kobe has a record of shytting the bed in the last game of tough series like nobody's business.
You said that Kobe was the ONLY one doing shyt and you said that Gasol did nothing at all. I proved you were wrong on both counts. I don't need to cape for Gasol, I didn't say he had a good series, but it's bullshyt to talk like Kobe was balling and no one else did shyt when all the big men had some good games and Kobe was mediocre to bad all the way through.
