i'm definitely hoping cleveland takes the series (i'm a lebron bandwagoner), but i'm sort of glad orlando won this one with the way dwight howard was getting screwed by the refs.

5/20/2009 11:49:30 PM

I would love for there to be a Nuggets-Magic finals; bout sick and damn tired of Lebron/Kobe

AGREED

5/20/2009 11:55:18 PM

no matter who plays in the finals, at least its sure to be more entertaining than the pistons/spurs final

5/21/2009 8:01:58 AM

This is going to be an awesome series if tonight is any indication.

Though it did seem Orlando had to play their brains out and Cleveland had to lay an egg for it to happen. I dunno we'll see.

5/21/2009 9:31:08 AM

Tonight is HUGE for the nuggets

if they go down 2-0, they will not be able to win 4 of 5 against the lakers

5/21/2009 10:28:10 AM

the nba is awesome. this game is great.

5/21/2009 11:38:51 PM

another great fucking game

Kobe has hit two 3's in Melo's face

5/21/2009 11:39:28 PM

Not to keep harping on it, but you guys who like basketball but have some absurd vendetta against the NBA need to get over it.

These games are taking huge shits all over any college bball game ever...

Did anyone seriously not think Kobe was going to drill a 3 that possession?

[Edited on May 21, 2009 at 11:40 PM. Reason : haha, 2 people beat me to it.. damn errors]

5/21/2009 11:40:07 PM

but but but they don't play as a teaaaam, it's all one on one, they travel, and every other lame reason to not watch the best basketball in the world.

5/23/2009 4:13:13 AM

^ lies, all lies i tell ya

5/23/2009 8:48:21 AM

i called the shot before the game...

5/23/2009 9:55:36 AM

LAS NIGHT, I DREAMED THIS IN MAH HEAD!

5/23/2009 10:08:13 AM

Kobe Bryant > Lebron James. Its not even close.

5/23/2009 12:06:00 PM

^ that has to be a joke

5/23/2009 12:21:57 PM

Nope. Not joking. Kobe > Lebron. Not even close.

Kobe is easily the better on the ball defender (point guard, shooting guard, and small forward), way better helpside defender, deadly from long range (lebron isnt), can actually hit his free throws (unlike lebron), and actually has a killer instinct.

Prior to this season my main argument for why Kobe is better than Lebron was his all-world defense but since Lebron actually played defense this year my opinion has changed. Kobe is still a much much Much better on the ball defender. See Olympics. No coincidence that we put KOBE on the other teams best player every game. I wonder why Lebron didnt take the other teams best player if hes the shut down defender that apparently he has become this year. Yeah thats what i thought.

Three point shot. Kobe - not even close.

Free throws. haha again. Kobe - not even close.

Who do you want taking your last shot too? Again...Kobe.

Very nice season though Lebron. Impressive. Now lets see you singlehandedly win a playoff FINALS game when you have a rape trial over your head. Then I will be impressed.

Lebron is prob a 94 or 95 but Kobe is a 99.

Dont even say shit about Lebron being a better passer. While he might be the better passer thats the exact same reason that he ISNT as clutch as Kobe. Lebron would rather pass it to the open teammate when doubled for the last shot when Kobe understands the moment and fights Through the double/triple team to take the last shot.

Congrats on FINALLY hitting a game winning shot lebron.

KOBE BRYANT FOR LIFE

5/23/2009 12:46:14 PM

i don't know much of anything about the nba (and don't really care), but ^that sounds like a load of bullshit to me

5/23/2009 12:52:57 PM

i'm going to side with The Logo on this one

5/23/2009 12:56:07 PM

You side with Jerry West. Ok. I'll side with Shaq, Dwight Howard, Charles Barkley, and even Lebron James himself. Kobe > Lebron.

Please someone point out just one part of Lebrons game that is better than Kobes. Please.


Exactly

5/23/2009 1:22:38 PM

^^how about rebounding?

Career averages:
Lebron- 7.0rpg
Kobe- 5.3rpg

Season:
Lebron- 7.6rpg
Kobe- 5.2


How about assists?

Career:
Lebron-6.7apg
Kobe- 4.6apg

Season:
Lebron-7.2apg
Kobe- 4.9apg

5/23/2009 1:35:21 PM

Namwob is either trolling, or retarded

5/23/2009 2:15:40 PM

^^^ So Carmello Anthony is the one you really want taking the game winning shot.

Interesting.

5/23/2009 2:19:43 PM

Interesting how the majority of current nba players say Kobe is better than Lebron. Interesting indeed.

Again...I note how Lebron admits that Kobe is better than he is.

Rebounds and Assists. Haha good one.

5/23/2009 3:26:08 PM

Actually Barkely says Lebron is #1 right now.

I think they are about equal at this point, Kobe would probably be better on a developed and talented team, Lebron probably better on a younger team.
