Going Commando Posted September 30, 2020 Share Posted September 30, 2020 Anyone going to get that new Jeff Pearlman book about the Shaq & Kobe Lakers? He was on the radio shows this morning talking about it and they all said the book pretty much lays out what a horrible teammate Kobe Bryant was during that first Lakers dynasty. Kobe really changed his image from the start of his career to the end. He was a very solitary guy early on, and it sounds like he got a lot of grief for refusing to participate in the fraternal culture of the NBA early in his career. That's something that separates him distinctly from Michael Jordan. Sounds like to me that the lack of professionalism in the league really got to him and frustrated him. He'd have fit in better if he'd been born like fifteen years later and was playing in the somewhat more professional culture of the league of today. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LAL has the ultimate shot creator. They don't have ti play their best to beat us Oh for sure. I mean they have the two best players in the series. Keep in mind we’ve also won a myriad of ways. We have a BAMN mentality. Doesn’t matter who flexes. We can get it In Stretches and sometimes whole games from 4-6 different players. May not be enough, but I like our chances. Win or lose we’ve already won. This is invaluable for the younger guys. House Money, let it rip. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no idea what happens if AD and the small forward go off, though 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Destino Posted October 1, 2020 Share Posted October 1, 2020 Miami’s defense appears to be far better than Denver’s. Lakers are taking nothing but contested shots, and passing lanes are much smaller. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warriors are the punk ass First Order. Lakers had the death star before we were both born. I tagged along with the wrong sacrificial lamb pulling for Brad Stevens, here's to hoping I'm wrong about this finals and LeBron getting 4.

I always found this interesting because they feuded and Kobe got on Shaq for being lazy. Kobe was always driven. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

COWBOY-KILLA- Posted October 1, 2020 Share Posted October 1, 2020 @Destino Agreed. There was a deer in headlights feel there offensively in the 2nd quarter. AD and LBJ are huge, they bullied them a bit. The young guys may have gotten a little shook there. It starts on Defense, need that energy. Offensively we have to be moving and passing in order for it to flow. They were thrown off their game there. Gonna have to earn their way back. The Lakers also were on fire. 11( 3's) 60+%. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s not one game, Butler is injured and Dragic is out with a dreaded foot injury. Those don’t heal overnight. Looks like Miami, which had a very thin rotation, is crippled. If they lose Dragic for the series, Lakers in 4 and none of the games are close. Basketball fans lose too. No one wants to watch a finals decided in the first half of game one by injuries.
