They beat the Spurs in 6. :upsetfavre:

Kawhi was a rookie and no Diaw, but we out here making it seem like that was the championship Spurs :smh:

Aaahhhh, you're both right. I typed spurs instead of Heat. Totally my mistake.

I really dont see '12 OKC v. '15 Warriors being the crux of either argument here

Kobe stans just deflecting and trying to make this about something else

Bron is having a legendary Finals, period

Basically. Kobe never did this before because he can't. He could never carry this offensive load for so many games, and get these assists, and rebound like this.

It just wasn't in him.

warriors this year had a better offense and defense than that thunder team, and the thunder had scott brooks at the helm. what exactly are they going to do vs this years golden state team?

This is the first I've ever heard of how dominant that Spurs team was... so weird, I wonder what that's about? :childplease:


on only 129 shots. LeBron has damn near that many misses. The whole team shot poorly can't get assists if everybody missing.


So was kobe not shooting enough, or were his teammates not scoring enough?

Or is your argument that Kobe would have averaged 12 assists a game, but the other guys just weren't hitting. :heh:

:dead:

They lost because the Heat were able to expose a matchup, the Thunder lacked interior scoring so having Perkins out there for 23mpg was a disaster, and the Heat hit 10 more threes than them because of the fact they could spread them out on the other end. Sound familiar? :mjpls:


The idea that that OKC team could fukk with this Golden State team is hilarious on every level. They were more poorly coached, with a worse defense, and a worse offense.

warriors are -1600 faves to win the title, and were never not favored to win at any point in the series. quite the "struggle"

NUMBERS!!!!! THE KRYPTONITE OF ZEALOTS.

Not everything has to do with betting. Jesus christ.


:dead::deadrose::deadmanny:

Cavs were up 1 with 6 mins left last game.

Yo, we're talking about 40 minutes worth of basketball games now!?! That's what it's come to????


HAHAHAHAHAHA I love this site. "THE WERE RIGHT IN IT AT HALFTIME, B!!" C'mon dog, c'mooonnnnn... dog. :notharlem:

You're right.

Because kobe was not capable of that kind of offensive output.



Thank you for falling into that trap.
Hold up, you're talking about a guy that scored 50 in 4 straight games, with some 60s sprinkled in for fun, scored 40 or more in 9 straight games, isn't capable of that type of scoring output? Now lets remember this, when Kobe would go on scoring sprees, the lot of you fakkits always claimed that he needed to play more team basketball. So, when he gets to the finals three straight years, and changes up his style for the betterment of the team, its a bad thing? How much a year do you guys spend on tampons? Because you all change your mind like bytches do.

Emotional (likely fatherless) bron stans are missing the point
The media is having a collective orgasm hyping up lebron saying he deserves the fMVP for his "unprecedented" "legendary" performance.
I'm not saying prime kobe would win this series (although I wouldn't put it past the Mamgawd:banderas:) but given the circumstances a superstar, especially one of kobe's caliber, could easily put up similar if not better numbers (kobe probably shoots above 40%:sas2:).
I know for dam sure prime kobe wouldn't be tiring out in the 4th. Unlike Lebron, he knows how to shoot and his game isn't predicated on bulldozing his way to the basket.

Westbrook btw was playing like this for months traveling across the country playing back to backs with even worse scrubs on his team. Was there any serious talk about Westbrook for MVP? :sas2:

Oh and Westbrook and Kobe never had the luxury of playing in such a week conference that they could take 2 weeks off to "recuperate" and go on spa dates with their boyfriends in Miami in the middle of the season.

Bron stans:umad:

No Diaw breh. Really. Ironically, the only championship they won since 2007 was with Diaw playing like pure shyt. Spurs didn't win the championship but were they still not dominant? OKC was a major underdog and won. No one had OKC winning and they won 4 straight.

Really? He played like shyt? Did you not see him operating at the post on switches vs. small lineups? ESPECIALLY vs. OKC?

I'm saying that yall always throw these weird stipulations out about Kobe, then when people check they always come back looking funny in the light.

Yall wanna hate on one player so badly you're putting down an excellent defense, instead of focusing on LeBron, maybe just accept that the Warriors may just be good on defense :merchant:

kobe has been destroying the warriors his entire career. even this year when his team sucked. 36ppg on 44FG%. he was also killing them in 2013 before he ruptured his achilles.

warriors have a philosophy of shutting down the role players and letting the superstars eat. and kobe ate good on their defense the last couple of years. lebron eating good now as well.

Kobe has always struggled against Iggy. I'm not sure he;d fare better. But one things for sure, he sure as hell would be heralded as a hero for shooting 35 shots a game. He shots 21 per game in the regular season and everyone says it's too many.

kobe eats him one on one. surprisingly the best guy i've ever seen guard kobe one on one is none other than vince carter. for some reason kobe's always struggled against him. he lights up everyone else. including noted kobe stoppers like bruce bowen.

prime kobe with a 44 usage rate against the warriors wont put up lebron's all around stats, but he's gonna average a more efficient 40-45 ppg

that's the honest truth

co-sign. i'm the biggest kobe stan alive but even i can see kobe ain't the passer bron is. lebron has natural innate passing talent thats the best for a non-pg i've ever seen. plus he's 6'9" 260 lbs. so he's gonna average more rebounds. but I will say Kobe would score more points on better efficiency cause he won't miss all those good looks from the mid-range bron is missing against iggy. also kobe would be more devastating against the one on one coverage.

42ppg, 7rpg, 6apg on 44% shooting sounds about right for kobe given bron's usage.

Kobe vs single coverage wont be stopped

If they let kobe push off in the post and shuffle his feet on every move he might give you 50
