The one thing I can't figure out about Game 1 is why Kobe was on the bench for almost 7 minutes to start the 4th...

Same thing that has been on my mind since monday night my friend... There is no valid explanation I could come up with. There is no possible good reason why I can see him sitting out that long in such an important stretch of such an important game 1.

Mavs win at least one more.

Would like to see them win this series, I hate the Mavs.

Bingo....What were they doing while Kobe was on the bench for 7 minutes? Losing the damn lead.....Yet it's his fault for not getting them involved even when he wasn't on the floor.

And the bench WAS in when we lost the majority of our lead.

I don't want to see Mamba take more than 19 shots tonight. You gotta use your bigs.

C'mon dude, Kobe does pass the ball abundantly (by his standards), stop with the blind hate.  I agree on LA having to go into the triangle more, ever since they got Ron the triangle doesn't seem as fluid, but that's what you have to give up for his defense.  The Mavs are the worst team for Ron to play against, he's not tall enough to be that effective against Dirk, and since Dirk is a star he'll get calls when Ron tries to play overly aggressive on him.  Which leaves Ron to guard someone like Marion off ball, which is good for the Mavs because it takes the best perimeter defender on the court out of the game most of the time.
I'm still pulling for LA in 6, my prediction at the end of the playoffs was that they would end up 16-6

I thought they would beat NO 4-1 (ended up 4-2)

Thought they would beat the Mavs/Blazers 4-2

I think i'm the only person picking Memphis to reach the WCF and picked LA to beat them 4-1

Then picked LA to beat BOS/MIA in the Finals in 6

I underestimated the impact of Tyson Chandler being on the Mavs though, this is going to be a very tough series.

Blind hate? Excuse me? Blind hate? You agreed exactly with what I said genius. Everything I said about him was positive. The only negative was that he didn't pass enough. with 29 shots and ZERO ASSISTS, it's not an opinion but a FACT. Only with Kobe stans can I constantly state how much of a fan of his I am, how great of a player I think he is, how he's the BEST player on his team, how the Lakers are the BEST TEAM IN THE NBA and still somehow be a "hater". Are you frickin' serious? I've been a Lakers fan since 1996 when they got Shaq. I love Kobe, but I love the Lakers MORE. When this guy causes us to lose the game, he's not getting a free pass because he's "ZOMG Kobe better than Jordan Bryant".

Here. KOBE>>>>>>>>>>GOD!!! Is that good enough for you??? He still needs to pass more.
