Could the 09 Lakers beat the Warriors?

[Jplaya2023]

Lakers have a major advantage in coaching, best player in the series, and a frontline that was called the best in the nba.

they would slow the pace down and keep games close

Lakers in 6, Kobe would routinely snatch the souls of players like klay and iggy. He wouldnt let durant outduel him, nikkas quickly forget

Durant, Kobe been off that Of course it helps to have a jumpshot against tough defenders like Durant, something high FG% Lebron still doesn't have

 

[MalikX]

The Lakers front line would give the Warriors problems but Golden State has too much firepower. Kobe would have his hands full with Durant and the other Lakers weren't good enough to cancel out Steph & Klay.

They went 7 with the Rockets, and 6 with the Nuggets, but are gonna beat this team in 6?

A rockets team with out tmac and Yao who only played in about 4 games












That rockets squad was pose to win it all brooks balled out his career is basically equivalent to cappadonnas verse on Winter warz he played out of his mind and never came close to that shyt again

Who gonna guard the Warriors?

Everyone but Fisher on our team was an elite defender.

 

[Supreme365]

Who gonna guard Kobe?

Klay,iggy,Durant

 

[ReggieFlare]

I can't call it....that Lakers frontline was a monster though. Assuming Bynum is healthy I think the matchup could go either way

 

[CantStop]

Klay,iggy,Durant

Some of y'all really FORGOT how dominant Kobe was.

warriors in 3

I didn't forget he's a monster and will always be a legend but you ask'd who'd guard him and I answered don't act as if he can't be stopped

Kobe would drop 30 and 40 on Iggy religiously. The achilles game he was shytting on Klay. thats old Kobe. 09 kobe would son them no problem. Kawhi was sonning them all season and game 1 before Zaza purposely injured him.

They went 6 with the Nuggets, and 7 with the Rockets. Playing against the Nuggets at a 92 pace they were giving up 102ppg, if the Nuggets could score like that the Warriors would murder them.

Unless you're going to try and tell me Billups, Melo and JR Smith are a better 3 man unit than Curry, KD and Klay

Slim Kobe is a beast but you seriously acting like he couldn't be guarded if you think that 6'7 210 klay, 6'8 230 iggy and 7 foot kd who are all elite defenders wouldn't make him work you're crazy...Kobe has been shut down before

In 22 games, Kobe averaged 24ppg on 43% from the field vs Iguodala and despite being on better teams he has a losing record vs Iggy (9-13)

09 Lakers? No. Early 2000 Lakers? Now we have a debate
