I know they have won 2 Championships and been in 3 Finals the last 4 years playing that way. That is good basketball.robj55;1040646 wrote:Of course not, that's good basketball. Especially when you have the best 5,4 combo in the league and you are on old legs. Why make the game easier by playing inside out?

Kobe will be fine. He's playing less minutes a game than he has on average for his career.robj55;1040651 wrote:I was just messing, referring to how he has played the last few games. I'd like to see a fresh Kobe for the playoffs, not a guy on dead legs.

You don't want Kobe fresh for the playoffs? Because that's the only chance they have of competing for a title is to play through Pau and Bynum more.Skyhook79;1040652 wrote:I know they have won 2 Championships and been in 3 Finals the last 4 years playing that way. That is good basketball.

I hope so, he looked dead last year in the playoffs against the Mavs, i'd like to see the Lakers do some damage out west and when you have two great post players you need to utilize them. Just my opinion of course.wildcats20;1040654 wrote:Kobe will be fine. He's playing less minutes a game than he has on average for his career.

Oh and BTW....
If Brandon Roy wants to come back and he can be a free agent(NO IDEA on the rules on that..), he would look mighty good in purple and gold.

Probally because he was carrying Gasol's sorry butt in the Playoffs last year. You would be tired too. Also reminds me of my favorite line in "Airplane" from my favorite all time player:robj55;1040660 wrote:I hope so, he looked dead last year in the playoffs against the Mavs, i'd like to see the Lakers do some damage out west and when you have two great post players you need to utilize them.

Agreed that Pau didn't play well in the playoffs last year. Wasn't there a rumor that Kobe's wife (ex) broke up Pau and his wife and that's why he didn't play well? Oh and the Lakers would have never won those back to back titles without Pau, he's a great player.Skyhook79;1040672 wrote:Probally because he was carrying Gasol's sorry butt in the Playoffs last year.

I wish if we had a 3OT game tonight that Wade and LeBron were playing. And that it was good basketball. This is just TERRIBLE stuff.
As for Brandon Roy, unless Portland cuts him, they should own his rights till the contract is up right? Similar to Carson Palmer.

I have no idea. But I really don't see him coming back. Which sucks. Because he is(was) a stud.Laley23;1040701 wrote:As for Brandon Roy, unless Portland cuts him, they should own his rights till the contract is up right? Similar to Carson Palmer.

Bynum comes up gimpy on his lay in with 3 secs left. Looked like an ankle. LA announcers are saying he said to Mike Brown "I'm fine."

Imagine how good Portland would be if they had a healthy Oden and Roy, maybe the best team in the west.wildcats20;1040704 wrote:I have no idea. But I really don't see him coming back. Which sucks. Because he is(was) a stud.
