thats true, but i think the call on nenad wasn't as bad as the no call on whoever hit kobe, even though BOTH were BAD calls.
and wtf are we talking about VC vs. jordan lol. and we have dicussed kobe vs. MJ many times already

But one wonders why would nenad hold on to johnson's jersey like that? What was the purpose of him doing that? Did he actually think that little tug would make johnson miss?
Oh, and I hate Johnson!! He sucks!

anyone who saw the lakers/suns game and doesn't think it was competitive, needs to stick to watching HS games. and, as far as the next round, you must be a total basketball rookie if you think the nuggets or clippers will be tougher match for the lakers than the suns.

Shit....hes on a better team...one more likely to go further...

And I do think last night's game was competitive. that's not what I was commenting on. Do I think the lakers can have that kind of game repeatedly, enough to win the series? No.

Nenad or Kidd fouled him...it shows in the replay....if they called it on the wrong person...whatever...there was a foul.....

I do give it up to the Lakers....they played as well as they could play....without Kobe scoring....now, the question is not whether or not Kobe will score....its if the rest of the Lakers can continue with their help. It was an off shooting night for the Suns too....they were pretty lucky Kobe couldnt get off....Lakers could have probably stole that game....but on the flipside....I dont think they can win the series.....even if they stole the game....

jesus 5 posts in a row. chill with that.
and WTF as the guy who keeps mentioning all the starting lakers scored double figures. who gives a shit. if your starters combine for 50 points, are you gonna win the game? kobe never really got going, but his teammates were impressive, especially luke walton and lamar odom. if kobe had a normal kobe game, they would have won...

All that is saying is that the Lakers got something out of the rest of the team....a total contribution...ie, everyone came to play.

cant ask for too much, he isn't that good. he cant score and get the assists, he doesn't have the ball enough. they run almost everything through kobe. i was dissapointed in his performance though. at the end he did have a few nice plays where he just effortlessly swoops to the hoop, but then the no call and the game was over

I give a shit, because spreading the scoring like that points to well rounded team game, unlike what we usually see from the lakers. That's the kind of game you need in the playoffs. But you see, when Kobe has a "normal game" the rest of the starters don't contribute nearly as much as they did last night. That game was the epitomy of a team effort, or at least the most complete team effort that you're going to get from the lakers. In other words, if Kobe has a "normal game" and scores 35 points, then the other starters have their normal games too.
The lakers aren't going to beat the suns with everyone having a normal game. The only time the lakers beat the suns in the regular season was when they were without steve nash, no? To beat the suns, they need all their starters to play like they did last night and still have Kobe have his normal game. Too bad it's a trade off, and won't happen.

nighthawk, you are one of the most annoying people on this forum "LA whiners, poor losers, kristofurr" etc etc. stfu already
the suns are overrated, and if kobe played a better game yesterday the lakers could have won. hell, if the refs didnt miss that call at the end they could have won

Like I said before....they gave an excellent team effort....and if Kobe had made a few more shots...from places where he missed, it might be a different story...but also...what if Phoenix didnt score 19 in the 2nd and scored their normal 30???? End of game right there by halftime.
In one sentence...."Don't blame the refs cuz of one call."

you can't say don't blame the refs. of course if the lakers did this, or the suns did that, the call might not have mattered, but it did. theres no way around it. if the lakers pulled it out they would have had a chance in the series. now, not so much

Oh well, the refs burned POOR Kobe and the Lakers out of game 1. Pure and simple. Anyone who doesn't blame the call and instead puts responsibility for the game in large part on Kobes 7-21 shooting and 2-7 4th qtr shooting is well,... just let slayer202 answer that one.
#1513
you are an idiot. enough with the "what ifs." kobe didn't have a good game, nor a good 4th quarter if your stat is correct. is it that hard to realize, that is irrelevant? the fact is, the game was indeed close, and the refs blew a big, obvious call. you can't say, but if kobe did better they would have won without the call. thats garbage...and if michael jordan came back and played like he did in his prime, the bulls would have beaten the heat in game one instead of going into game 2 tonight down 1-0.
