Kobe is supposed to be a 1st Team defensive player right? I don't really see that here... Wade > Kobe. Tim Legler was right.

All over 20 points with good percentages.Joe Johnson's 30Prince? 31 points, or Billups 50% shooting?Ray Allen 32?Ray Allen 30?Only 1.4 steals and 0.4 blocks comepared to Wade's 1.8 and 1.2? And he really hasn't done much on D today. He is not the best defensive shooting guard in the league.Take away all free throws today and Wade it shooting 10-17 and outscoring Kobe(with free throws) by 9.
I love how everyone is not argueing with my posts regarding the refs. It's fu*kin unbelievable the calls he gets and the way he acts (flops) on every shot. I'm talking about Wade. The refs don't want the Lakers to win. Ronny Turiaf is really helping us stay in this game and the 4th quarter is about to begin. Go Lakers.

I fu*kin hate Shaq too. No player should get this amazing treatment. People think Kobe gets calls...just look at this game. Kobe just about NEVER gets calls unless he forces it. Nobody gets calls like Dwyane Wade. I think I'm going to kill myself because of the way these refs have ruined the game for me.

Wade has flopped a lot but he's only been to the line like 3 times that he shouldn't have. Not like it was during the playoffs with him.

But don't you find it a bit pathetic to be spending Christmas day on an internet forum ripping on an athlete who has no idea you even exist? It's not even like you're favorite team is playing, why go out of your way to do that. Especially when another player had a great performance. D-Wade played phenomenally. Don't hate, congratulate.
I would have liked to of seen Kobe score more points, but the Miami defense worked wonders on him. Wade an amazing game!One funny stat: Kobe predicted that LA would win 101-99; yet their counterparts had 101. Lol.
Wade dominated when the lights are bright yet again.I didnt think Dorrel Wright was ready to hanld Kobe, but he did a very good job on him.Just very impressive from Miami.
This proves my point that Wade>Kobe. Wade is greater in a big game. Kobe is a jump shooter who is very streaky. Not nearly as explosive which gives Wade the advantage in many areas in a game. Blocks, steals, rebounds, and etc.

Posting on an internet forum saying "OMG I love this guy, he had such an incredible game. 30 points! He should definitely win MVP" is no different than posting on an internet forum and saying "Haha, good to see this guy struggle and my team build up more of a lead in the standings. This guy is getting too much hype for MVP and his defense is overrated"Both ways I'm still posting. Just a different opinion. There is too much Kobe love on this forum. It's suffocating.

But again, kobe has a sinus infection and the flu and his playing on an injured ankle. Great preformance by the heat and wade. Props on them.
