I always get flack for this, but Kobe is better then Jordan, jordan was ahead of his time, both are unstoppable, but im on Team Kobe.and im not changing my thought on this, so please dont try convince me otherwise..
Could you imagine what Jordan could do with the new defensive rules that are in place now?No handchecking and whatnot. He would've been throwing up 50 a night!
yeah, Jordan will be real potent now if he was in this era.. kobe could throw 50 a night to (if he wanted to)..Remember when Kobe had 10 or 11 straight games scoring 40 or over..
Yes but Jordan could average that a year and still win Championships.
So there are two of us who believe this? BTW, some interesting match up decisions:"The plan is for Gasol to guard Celtics forward Kevin Garnett, but if the Lakers' center gets in early foul trouble, Odom will shift from Kendrick Perkins to Garnett, at which point Odom will be on the spot."http://www.latimes.com/sports/basketball/nba/lakers/la-sp-lakers5-2008jun05,0,7114877.story
i wont fight you on that one..good point..im just hating on jordan never mind me.
Why do you hate Jordan?Argubly the greatest basketball player of all time. Not many would disagree.
good first game.lakers missed their shots. they have to tighten up and they'll be back.
Excuses already? Shit, Paul went off with a sprained knee!
No excuses here. Good game Celts. I didn't see anything which alters my prediction.
Too early to tell either way.It isn't a series until someone loses a home game anyways.
True, but let's give the Celts their due. A loss in game one at home would have been the beginning of the end. They accomplished their mission and Paul P. showed some guts. Bring on game 2!
Not downplaying what they did at all.Just saying that is what they were supposed to do and they did it. If they win game 2 and then steal a game in LA, I will be very impressed.
what excuse? the Lakers couldn't hit their shots, throughout the game it was tight. They could have won that game. They got beat on rebounds and missing their shots. Boston made theirs.
