and as a Laker fan i've been asking if someone can show me Bynum running the floor and aggressivley getting into position like Shaq would back in the day. Dude complains about not getting the ball but just stands in the lane with his hands out.
I'll take him over Phil Jackson . Imo Jackson is very overrated as a coach. Any brand name coach with a healthy Bryant and Jordan could havewon at least 3-4 chipsOriginally Posted by ERASCISM
JVG: "Kobe Bryant, I want to be your next coach." Basically.
@ people still thinking that lebron is doing more with less
dude has the best team in the league BY FAR
dude has shooters, tough defensive guys, veteran players, post up players, basically everything
Outside of Ilgauskas, who if he played for the Lakers would just be another soft Euro following a Lakers L like Gasol, he has nothing but rejects from suchbasketball juggernauts as the Seattle Supersonics, Milwaukee Bucks and Oklahoma City Thunder. All these journeymen were made better by LeBron, something thatKobe couldn't have done. Kobe fans just can't cope with this fact.
The golden and only rule of Lakers Kobe fans post Shaq era:
When the Lakers win: It's all Kobe
When the Lakers lose: It's everyone's fault but Kobe's
yehh i blame every-f'n-body when we lose...kobes no one special...he also takes stupid jumpshots when they can drive it to the hole...kindalike how the team is...when he drives and becomes aggressive so does the team...being that kobe is the leader his guys follow on what he does

Wally - former all-star
Ben Wallace - 4-time DPOY and former multiple all-star
Z - former multiple all-star
Mo Will - All-Star
Lakers:
Gasol - 2-time All-star
My point: Cavs have a lot more talent than people think
I think A BIG thing people forget is the offense. CLE runs a "give-it-to-Lebron" offense where LBJ touches the ball every possession and eithershoots himself or kicks to shooter (which the Lakers have none of)
In L.A., Kobe can go a few possessions without even touching the ball.
the triange can make good or decent players look awful because it doesn't exploit mismatches. So many times L.O. has a mismatch, but they don't giveit to him in the post, instead they run the damn offense. Same with Bynum, Gasol and others.
The triange is so hard for players to learn, and this becomes a weakness in the team. I think if LBJ and Kobe switched teams, Kobe would do the same thingLebron is doing, but not because of the talent level around him, but because of the offensive system that the coach runs.
well not all... There are alot of times Kobe would get blamed for losses (Portland game) when Kobe would jack up shots, commit wild turnovers... then Laker haters will get on Laker fans saying "All laker fans are the same.. blaming Kobe"Originally Posted by Xtapolapacetl

Also if you want others to respond to you because sometimes you are objective, stop doing acting like Lebron is flawless cuz you hate when Kobe fans do it about Kobe.
You wrong about Z for sure he's been balling before Lebron get it right. He just has feet problems like Rick Smits had he's always been solid on the boards cuz he uses his size well, jumper straight, foul shots, and guards the paint.
Don't act like Bron has nothing then you say Kobe has everything when it's all spelled out each game you watch.
Wally - former all-star
You're kidding, right?
Ben Wallace - 4-time DPOY and former multiple all-star
You... Surely, you must be kidding.
Z - former multiple all-star
Okay, I've come to the conclusion that you must be kidding so I won't reply to these. Imagine all the stuff you could write if the Cavs somehow signedSteve Francis.
Mo Will - All-Star
I bet all the Kobe fanboys were jumping for joy when the 14.8 ppg in the playoffs averaging Mo Williams was given that last all-star spot due to an injury. Hemay have B.J. Armstronged and Dana Barrosed his way to the all-star game this time, but we'll see what happens in the future. He'll need anothermiracle to play in an all-star game again, much like he needed one this time.
Lakers:
Gasol - 2-time All-star
Gasol - franchise player who led a bum team to a 49-win season and its first and only playoff appearance ever. If the Lakers win a championship, Gasol would beseen as a true #2 man who helped win a championship. If the Cavs win the championship, it will be LeBron and a bunch of role players like the 93-94 Rockets.
My point: Cavs have a lot more talent than people think
Like Charles Barkley says, EVERY team in the NBA has talent. Every player in the NBA has talent, otherwise they wouldn't be in the NBA. It's just thatthat talent looks a lot better when they're winning (due to LeBron). The OKC Thunder have a very talented roster. If the Thunder won 45 games this year,which they were capable of looking at their roster, people would be saying a lot more positively about them even though they were the same team they are now.
I think A BIG thing people forget is the offense. CLE runs a "give-it-to-Lebron" offense where LBJ touches the ball every possession and either shoots himself or kicks to shooter (which the Lakers have none of)
In L.A., Kobe can go a few possessions without even touching the ball.
LeBron's usage percentage is 33.8 while Kobe's is 32.2, a small difference. It's not about the amount of time they're touching the ball,it's what they do with it while they're touching it. And LeBron's decisions with the ball in his hands > Kobe's.
the triange can make good or decent players look awful because it doesn't exploit mismatches. So many times L.O. has a mismatch, but they don't give it to him in the post, instead they run the damn offense. Same with Bynum, Gasol and others.

What is it with Kobe fanboys using the triangle system as an excuse for everything they please? Didn't Phil win 9 rings with the triangle? The year theyhad Rudy T. as their coach they didn't have the triangle and I haven't seen any difference in Kobe's game. Nor did I see one when they played onthe U.S. team in the olympics.
would you really want the lakers to advance to the finals because of this?Originally Posted by enrique23
how is jvg even thinking that the rockets might beat us?
stern is not allowing the rockets or denver to beat us
the cavs/lakers final has already been decided
