The Lakers were up 20+ in the 3rd that game. It was 82-58 at the end of the 3rd. Kobe did have 40, 18 of which came in the 3rd, but it was really only close in the 1st quarter.


And yea someone who scores 81 in a game isn't a stat padder.
@Swagnificent told me Kobe doesn't pad his stats. I guess it just means that Kobe is so terrible on defense that a 25 point lead with a couple minutes left isn't safe.

Its only disrespectful if you don't understand what they are trying to accomplish. Its essentially a zone defense. They're giving up jumpers in an effort to take away his inside game.

I know what they're trying to accomplish and the only reason it works is because his jumper is broken and he typically doesn't have games like the one he just had, but it's okay, he's gonna lose another finals and you can cite all his pretty stats as to why it isn't his fault when it is. :mjpls:

OP made this thread thinking it was clever but really its just a summation of the hilarious career of Lebron :heh:

Who cares that Lebron played shytty in 90% of this finals and is going to lose yet another series, right? He had CRAZY STATS in ONE game where the best defender in the league was suspended and their other primary big was hurt. :laff:

The Coliseum basketball heads in 2016:snoop:

show me the math behind it being more valuable to score in the 4th compared to other parts of the game

to save you time, the math will show you that it's a little more important, but it's not really a big deal. a point is basically a point nomatter when its scored

Don't forget their starting back court of Courtney lee and raefor Alston :troll:


To be fair our future 3 time WOAT insists that they were better than these Warriors, so apparently he's giving huge ups to Dwight Howard on that front :russ:. I mean there's no way his hero would check back in to pad his stats right? It had to be to protect a 25 point lead since it could vanish in 6 minutes right?


Pau had 1 fewer assist on the series and 14 fewer turnovers. He didn't have any rebounding games that skewed his average like having 15 in a game where there were about 100 to grab no exaggeration. He also was taking 13 shots a game compared to Kobe taking 23 shots a game and shooting 48% to bean shooting 40%. He also wasn't shooting 31% in the 4th like bean. He was by far the lakers best player in game 7 with 19 points and 18 rebounds. He averaged 5 offensive rebounds per game that series, many of which were misses by Kobe. He was much better. When it takes an extra 10 shots to score 9 more points, you aren't playing better, you're just pressing the issue and chucking.


You might want to check games 2 and 5 of be 2000 finals in which Kobe scored 2 and 8 points (4 of 20 shooting in game 5). You also might want to see his 6 of 22 shooting performance in a 39 point loss in game 6 of the 2008 finals. For more brilliance of his I would suggest the 2004 finals
