You're right, that's like the exact opposite of every report out on Lamar. The guy doesn't like to be the "man", he likes to be the guy in the background, quietly getting the work done. His personality is perfect next to someone like Kobe. :thumbup:
Nope, don't see the irony. I don't think anyone expects Kobe to be winning championship with just Odom. That's like saying, man, can you imagine Kobe can only be successful with good teammates. No duh.

Spurs fans really have no room to complain. Bowen's foul on Lebron in last year's final was much more blatant. Refs won't bail you out at the end of games like that unless your name...
No, this is a Flip Saunders that has inherited a championship team and a team that took SA to 7 and subsequently found a way to miss the Finals every year in an incredibly weak eastern conference. The Lakers have as good of chemistry as any team, they have been as consistent as any team in these...
I have a hard time seeing a Flip Saunders coached team beating Phil Jackson in the Finals. Dude let Lebron James beat them by himself 4 games in a row. Lost a lot of respect for Detroit in that series.
Agreed, but Kobe's a different beast than Paul. Paul starting second guessing himself by game 7, I don't see Kobe doing that this years. He's too focused and too close to the finish line.
Yea ,both Fisher and Odom really couldn't find any rhythm. They were sooo good for us in the Utah series. The thing I noticed immediately against the Spurs was how well they controlled the tempo. The Lakers tried to push the tempo but the Spurs were so disciplined in getting back. I think...
The Spurs actually go on scoring drought like that all the time. That was one of the key weaknesses I saw in the Spurs all year. Lakers are an explosive offensive team, but they don't rely on just transition baskets to score. The triangle offense is as effective in the half court as it is in...
You can be a fan of Shaq and still appreciate Kobe's game. ;) It's rather silly how the media makes you take sides. Both player are once in a generation talent and when they both retire, basketball fans will realize how rare these two players are.
I'm a Laker fan and Horry used to be one of my favorite players but after watching that replay, I definitely think it was intentional. The Spurs must've gone through their pre game reports and I'm sure everybody was aware of West's injury. Most players if they see a player backing down in mid...
Yea I'm sure the Lakers are gonna take the Nuggets lightly.lol There's no easy matchup but the Nuggets are by far the most favorable. Much rather play them than Dallas. The Lakers have played the Nuggets since the trade (Gasol was injured), they beat them convincingly without Gasol and Bynum...
Spoken like a true moron. Like my state of mind has any effect on the Lakers team. The poster LacardJoe67 mentioned the "tough consequences" of the Lakers losing to the Suns which are true, and I mentioned what it would mean to beat the Suns, which is also true. It's not a prediction or who...
Tough consequences means high reward. There will be no better way to prove that Kobe can win without Shaq other than straight up eliminating Shaq and the Suns from the playoffs.
I'm sorry, but if the only time you've seen Bynum play was in that Miami game when Bynum was like 17, your opinion on Bynum is way off bro. He's a completely different player. As to how he'll come back from the injury, no one knows for sure. But a healthy Bynum is a flat out nightmare for any...
This is a tough game. If the Suns can pull this one off, it will be an impressive victory. The Blazers are as tough as any team at the Rose Garden. Outlaw will be a load for old man Hill to defend.
