ChosenOne Posted May 20, 2012 Report Share Posted May 20, 2012 You think LA is going to win the series? Yup, for some reason I'm very confident in them pulling It out and shocking the world. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingfish Posted May 20, 2012 Report Share Posted May 20, 2012 Closeout games are easy though. OKC will jump on us in the beginning and the Lakers will just fold. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EastCoastNiner Posted May 20, 2012 Report Share Posted May 20, 2012 He was doubled 25 feet away from the rim. Be serious for a moment. He scored 10 of the last 14 points of Game 3. Also, he had seven or eight game-winning shots in the 2009-10 season...don't have the list over the last two seasons, but he hit one against the Raptors just a couple months ago (off the top of my head). Not sure if you're serious, or... Clutch shpts in the playoffs, which he pretty much has none of in five years. Should we break out the clutch shots and his shooting percentage in the final minutes of playoff games recently, or is that somehow going to irrelevant somehow? He hasn't been clutch in a while.

He hasn't been clutch in a while.I'm going to take a guess and say you would do the same with LeBron and what he did (or didn't do) against Dallas in the NBA Finals. Don't get me wrong, I laughed and loved every bit of LeBron getting tore up in that series (4th quarters), but that was because Dallas decided to take him out of the game. This isn't 1990. If you want to zone up and take a superstar out of the game, especially if you're a good defensive team (or great, for that matter), you can do it. What games are you going to give me? The ones against Dallas in 2011, or Boston in 2008 or 2010? Will you go back to 2004 and Detroit? I don't care if you're Kobe, LeBron, MJ, Magic, Wilt, Monta, Teague, or Walton...if a team doesn't want you to score the ball, they will take you out of a game with a strict zone defense, and more than likely, it will come at the end of a game if you're a clutch scorer. Before you say that Kobe should pass the ball more and give up those clutch shots, instead of shooting almost all of them, you should go back and let me know all of the times other players (besides Derek Fisher, who Kobe has to feed anyway) have done ANYTHING with the ball in the clutch...whether it has been Steve Blake's wide-open miss the other night, Odom's airball from 16-feet in, or Walton just holding the ball and letting time run out vs. the Knicks.
