07 we had no chance against the Suns. Bean tried willing us but goddamn that roster was so ass. 2006 we should have won if bum ass Kwame and Odom grabbed the o board. Probably would have been the greatest upset ever. The talent level between those 2 teams were a lot bigger than the nuggets and lakers. The difference is that there’s no one on this team that actually believes we have a chance and it shows. They accepted that they won’t beat this team.
THE DIFFERENCE IS THAT KOBE DIDNT HAVE A CO-STAR WHO COULD GIVE U A NIGHTLY 30..
AND YEA, ODOM NOT BOXING OUT STILL HAUNTS ME TIL THIS DAY…. THAT REBOUND COULDA LIKELY LED TO ONE OF THE MOST CELEBRATED CHIPS IN NBA HISTORY AND WOULDA CEMENTED KOBE AS GOAT. WE HANDED DALLAS THEIR ASS THAT SEASON AND THEY ENDED UP MAKING FINALS. WOULDA SET UP A NICE KOBE VS SHAQ FINALS WHICH LIKELY WOULDA BEEN DOMINATED BY KOBE.
