NBA Champions 2010 - Lakers

[Vihzel]

Congrats to the Lakers for winning a great final game. Much love directly from the City of Angels!

Down 13 points in the 3rd quarter but never gave up.

Final score: 83 - 79

Pretty useless thread... and that's coming from a Lakers fan.

Couldn't imagine what any other team's fans on this forum think

Good game for the Lakers TEAM. But this only adds a number to Kobe's stat list - his performance was a below subpar. Please don't put him amongst the best. He was completely outplayed by the likes of Artest and Pau in GM7 of the Championship Finals that was suppose to define his legacy. MJ, Magic, Bird... they all had significant impacts on their respective teams beyond the 'give-me' free throws and rebounding.
Sorry to be such a hater - I do think the Lakers deserved to win that game. They had a great comeback, and really showed clutch near the end.

Big deal. Kobe averaged 31 points per game in this series against one of the best defenses this modern era. He deserves every bit of this as much as the other guys!

Way to go L.A.!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks!

I hate the fakers. But they won and they are the champions. And I think we can start calling Kobe the second greatest player ever. I think we all know who is the first.

I agree my Lakers pulled it out....I love it

 

[Dutch54]

Phil Jackson himself just said it.....Ron Artest hahaha

I am not saying he isn't good... Kobe is a GREAT basketball player - probably the best his team has seen since the days of Magic. He is just not on the level of the other guys I mentioned. Com'on - the guy shot 6/24 tonight. At half time he was 3/16. The Celtics were playing some great defense... but does that justify the poor shot selection in the first place? The guys I mentioned were clutch in the big games - hitting all the necessary shots to keep their team in the game and give them a chance to win it at the end.
You can average a ton of points if you take a ton of shots. It was only until the Lakers started getting Pau/Artest involved were they able to finally take the lead. I am not dogging on the Lakers at all, great game by them. In my opinion Pau was clearly the man of the game, if not Artest.
The storyline for this game, for this entire series really, was Kobe's Legacy - in that respect he didn't prove anything to me based on his performance tonight. And if anything this game makes me respect Phil Jackson more - clearly the best coach in the game today.
Just want to note that I am not a fan of either team - Zombie Sonics for me, and well... lets just say its a love-hate relationship. lol

Love those LAKERS! Great thread.

lol Congrats on the win - it was a really great game to just watch, and I'll admit for some parts I was pulling for the Lakers to close the gap (late in the 3rd)... was hoping it would go into overtime and really put some extra drama into it!

 

[cabbie]

watching artest shoot is just painful. he manages to get two 3s and is suddenly awesome despite bricking the whole finals

 

[SirSlayer]

It nice to see a positive thread in here...congrats Lakers...and Congrats us for having EVOS!!!! lol

 

[droidtime]

Yes!! I was watching the game at a Sushi place and was getting nervous, my coworker thought my Evo was vibrating but it was me shaking the table.
