[LBJ23MJ]

Definitely very objective. Im looking at the +-. Perfect point

Any statistician can tel you the flaws with using RAW +/- for a SINGLE GAME. Better to use the regressed adjusted +/- numbers instead for that purpose.

But check the post. I said Kobe played well. But not because he made TWO SHOTS, it's because he made 12 of them out of 25 and went 10 of 11 from the line, plus played some solid defense.

Celtics and Lakers...again...I'm going to hurl.

holy shit I just threw up every where

Well, they deserve to be there.

Both the Lakers and Celtics came to play after being reality checked early on after losing a pair in the first round in the playoffs.

Well Kobe is back where he belongs.... He keeps showing up to the dance, but LeBron refuses to dance with him...

Courtesy of being on a team that brings their shots, defense, coaching, and also luck to the playoffs.

The LAKERS deserve their appearance in the dance. Should be a great series.

Your right he sucks we should of benched him

Exactly what I've been saying.

Lakers seem to be set up for a few years with their current lineup, Boston who knows, they may have another year in them after this one as well. I won't do more than glance at the NBA finals. What result, if any, would be more beneficial to the Cavs?

Tbh, if that was Michael it would have been over in 4.

Tbh, if that was Michael it would have been over in 4.

for sure, but i thought it was cool that he gave him that much respect.

 

[Absinthe]

I won't watch a single game of the Finals. All that I know is that Boston beating Cleveland and Orlando is much, much more impressive than the Lakers beating the Suns and an injured Utah Jazz team.

Been a lot of good gifs from these conf finals

Tbh, if that was Michael it would have been over in 4.

yea because he would be guarded by 6'1 kevin johnson 1v1 all the time

and he would have the best sf in the game playing too.

Jordan was great, indeed the best ever, but kobe played as well as anyone could have played in that series... even in the losses.

Jordan would not be able to do anything from the bench when the suns hit 4 3's in a row.

Regardless of who the Lakers beat or didn't or how long they're going in series'.. They're in the finals for the 3rd straight year and looking to repeat..
