The Official NBA Season Thread: I’m like Jayson Tatum in the Olympics I'm not playing

[Vincent Van Goat]

The Lakers put up a 103 offensive rating that series.

10 points worse than there regular season mark. And would have been good for like a bottom 5 offense that series.

So I wouldn't exactly call that food.


Kobe is great at making thought shots over good defense. That's what makes him special. Doesn't mean the defense was bad.

Kobe was on fire the entire series. He was eating all 5 games

Defense could have been great and so it makes what he did even more special. Especially since you point out the rest of his teammates were struggling offensively

Kobe put up 29 a game on 53/33/91 that series. He cooked their asses.

He had that spring in his step that season and seemed more willing to not ball hog

Felt like the next two years where he actually won titles he was a “worse” version than the 07-08 Kobe

I get it after nobody else really showed up in the Finals and he didn't particularly play up to his standards as well.

I'd say at least in the West playoffs in 09 & 10 he was better and even more determined than in 08. What he did to Denver and Phoenix in those WCF was criminal 34/6/6 on 48/34/93 and 34/7/8 on 52/43/88 respectively.

Unstoppable.

Two thoughts.

-Folk gotta stop using MLKs likeness for unserious ****.

MLK marched so we can shammgod

True- I actually was thinking more so the regular season- I need to look back at his playoffs for all three of those finals runs

 

[RustyShackleford]

MLK marched so we can shammgod

He fought for my rights

So that is why I don't let any defender stop me from going left

 

[Mister Meaner]

They should be slammed for not putting this masterpiece in a proper frame.

Imagine what the Lakers could have done if he was as good as James Harden

of course, that's my point. the defense was good, but Kobe was better.

It’s a good thing kobe only ran into Dirk once.

 

[osh kosh bosh]

Of all the Nike sigs for this season that have been revealed, I only like the Sabrinas and the KD 16s.

I still have faith in the D. Books though.

If Dirk was better...

 

[ballinsam23]

Dirks run was really legendary. Arguably one of the greatest playoff performances ever with the amount of great teams/players he beat.

 

[Mister Meaner]

Back in the lab for the James’. Bryce has too many advantages it seems now w/ the ‘n’ in NBA looking like nepotism.

Would be sick if this was a PR move to have Bronny silently bow out cuz he just doesn’t have the stuff and don’t wanna end up being Marcus /devil’s advocate

I will not speculate further and glad dude is seemingly ok.

you are misunderstanding my point.
the point is the defense was great but Kobe was greater.
