Lakers vs Magic Game 1: 4th Quarter Thread

Goodness gracious sakes alive Kobe Bryant.  36 points through three quarters?  And a 24 point lead?  If you are going to continue to one up yourself, the league is going to change its rules to make your shot count for 1/2 point.  I don't want to say this game is over becuase the Magic's threes could start falling at any moment.  However, with Kobe on the floor let;s face it...it's over.  Somewhere LeBron is saying "pshhhhh, I could do that."  Sure you could Bron-Bron, just turn the volume up and watch Kobe doin' work, the live edition.

Go Purple & Gold!

NICE circus shot by Pietrus AND ONE.

Pietrus is really overrated on the whole, though. He’s not really good at any part of offense… mediocre shooter, inefficient scorer, poor passer…

Hahahaha

One of my friends just texted me basically saying “so what LeBron does this every game.”

I just started cracking up

not trying to be a troll, but there are legitimate arguments for LeBron as MVP and best player. He had one of the greatest series of all time in the last round.

Kobe lost the last six years… LeBron’s teammates were epically bad. Zydrunas guarding Dwight? That’s unfair.

by Cablinasian on Jun 4, 2009 8:15 PM PDT up reply actions  

what do you base that on? LeBron had one of the greatest playoff PERs ever. he couldn’t account for his horrible teammates.

Could Kobe help with interior defense? That’s a tough argument to make.

by Cablinasian on Jun 4, 2009 8:17 PM PDT up reply actions  

LeBron averaged a near triple-double with almost 40 points. He couldn’t account for Zydrunas guarding Dwight, Delonte West guarding Hedo, and the complete lack of shooting from the Cavalier perimeter players.

Because the media is stupid? Orlando has beaten Cleveland the majority of times they’ve played in the last four or five years.

They played poorly, I didn’t say they were bad players. It’s hard to win when your teammates shoot below 40%.

and Kobe lost… and he’s winning with Pau Gasol… LeBron has bad teammates, and he lost…

let me say that I’m not here claiming LeBron is oh so great. Just saying that it isn’t insane for there to be an argument.

proud hinrichsheeple

by Cablinasian on Jun 4, 2009 8:27 PM PDT up reply actions  

Of course there’s going to be an argument. Before Lebron there was Kobe vs Tmac. Kobe vs Vince, and yet Kobe’s still in the conversation. That says something

by intuitive on Jun 4, 2009 8:31 PM PDT up reply actions  

LeBron ain’t T-Mac or Vince.

I know but TMac and Vince looked very good when they were on top of their games. The conversation was Kobe vs this guy Kobe vs that guy, his ability to stay in the conversation of best player in the league through 13 seasons says something about his game

He’s incredible, no doubt about it.

Regarding the MVP award, It’s “MVP of the regular season”, not “MVP of the playoffs”. So it’s not “all that matters”. In fact, it’s the opposite.

Regarding the “best player” claim… dunno. :)

huh? Jordan’s second man was Orlando Woolridge, and he had a Herculean effort to nearly beat one of the best teams of all time in the ’86 Celtics. He also ended up winning six titles. That seems to say LeBron has a good chance in the future.

I suspect that the Lakers will give Gortat the midrange jumper all series long, ha ha.

you underrate his offense. He actually has a decent post game.

I was referencing your line in the preview that said his offensive skills were sub-Przybillian. He has a much more developed offensive game.

I specifically put in a request for 50.

He will have to try again Sunday.

Lakers have played an ugly 4th Q. Fortunately, there is no 5th and 6th Q....

by not stopping the unstoppable but by unstopping what is surely stoppable because only by unstopping what is stoppable can one hope to achieve stoppableness of the unstoppable.

What makes his overall unstoppableness unstoppable?

One game at a time

by intuitive on Jun 4, 2009 8:42 PM PDT up reply actions  

i can tell you one thing, another blowout game like this in gm2 and magic and co. will have seriously deflated morale. plus being the best road team in the league gives the edge to the lakers as well.

by kumquatsrus on Jun 4, 2009 8:44 PM PDT up reply actions  

Magic were 2nd best road team in the league. Some shots for the Magic that usually go in didn’t go in tonight. Call it good defense call it missed shots. Either way I’ll take it.

If we can play with this much focus throughout the whole series there is no way we lose.

by intuitive on Jun 4, 2009 8:45 PM PDT up reply actions  

Good game, guys. Kudos.

Talk to you later.

The Magic beat themselves

If they hit those 3 pointers with Lakers running at them this would be a different game.
