Well, because of the stupid server error we lost this topic. That doesn't mean we can't talk about it. Good game, Kobe came through at the end with clutch shots including the game winner. I like what I saw from Durant, and Kidd was just CRAZY with those passes he was making.
One of the big issues this summer again seems like it will be LeBron. He didn't play great last summer, and he didn't play that great lastnight. 5 assists on 7 turnovers is not a good ratio by any means. He also shot 8-19 from the field (1-5 from 3). He really needs to play smarter.

I just saw the highlights on NBA TV, and LeBron choked as usual.. what a terrible shot, too. They should have done a drive 'n kick with Mike Miller for the last play, he was hot the entire game.

Miller took 15 three bal attempts? :wtf1:Was this one of those ridiculous games that is just used for entertainment and to get the fans pumped, or was it actually a serious game for players to try and prove that they should be apart of the team?

Some even looked nervious (Reddick.) Fans were pumped too though, and I agree with Miller...that was way too many 3's to take to only make 5 of them.

Jesus...I was one of the only Laker fans hating on Kobe for his trade requests. I'm not giving him all the credit, I am just giving him the credit he deserves for his clutch plays down the stretch. You were the one taking that away and saying he didn't matter.

I still don't know where you get that, and still don't know why you are so obsessed with the guy and his fans that it is all you discuss or talk about. And yes, he does deserve a lot of credit for carrying team in final 2min, incluidng the GW. No one is saying he is the only reaosn they won, but yes, he was huge in the game. OMGz, I gave Kobe credit....1'm a h0mEr!!!111!!!
