Now it's bout the coaches? Cavs beat the lakers multiple times during the regular season, but at the end of the day lebron was still a mental midget and that team wasn't getting past the magic or celtics, much less beating a hungry Kobe and lakers. If we're talking about expectations than lebron was expected to kome out of the east during that "Kobe vs lebron in the finals" hype days. They had commercials and everything. I would hope a prime lebron Wade and bosh would beat a lakers team wth a injury ridden Kobe, punk ass Dwight and past his prime nash
:yawn:

What are you so upset about?

You're telling me that Phil going up against Mike Brown ISN'T a reason to favor the Lakers at that time? Because if we're going off of who had the better player at the time, well...

That team wasn't beating the lakers more than once from 08-10. If they could have lebron would of never went to tv to announce he was hightailing it to miami
sometimes it's about matchups. cavs for some reason matched up well against the lakers.

Who's upset? Yea Phil played a part but let's pretend Phil is on that court in a jersey and not Kobe or Lebron who did not have a champion mentality at that time. It took a beating in Dallas to make lebron who he is now. Kobe would of dropped 30 7 5 easily. Lebron averaged 22 on 35% in 2007 and 18ppg with multiple 4 quarter chokes in 2011. Kobe averaged well over 30 in 09-10. If we're being realistic

kobe finished with a 6-16 head-to-head record vs Lebron :huhldup:

It's even worse in context, because in the two Laker/Cavs matchups during Lebron's rookie year in 2004, Kobe only played 6 minutes and 17 minutes and didn't do crap, but the Lakers still won both games.

So if you only count the games where both players actually played (all the other matchups both guys were in 30+ minutes), then Kobe is only 4-16 against Lebron.


4-16 :scust:

LeBron James vs. Kobe Bryant | Basketball-Reference.com




Kobe feasted on bron one on one something serious multiple times

In his entire career against Lebron, Kobe scored 30+ in a win....ONCE. :lolbron: He scored 10, 2, 27, 20, 19, and 33 in the 6 wins against Lebron.

Lebron scored 30+ in a win against Kobe....EIGHT times. :blessed: He scored 38, 33, 41, 37, 31, 39, 32, 36 in those 8 games.


Who feasted on who again? :patrice:


And that doesn't even reflect the fact that Lebron was scoring more efficiently than Kobe AND outperforming in literally every other aspect of the game as well.

Lebron: 28.2ppg, 7.4rpg, 7.2apg, 1.9spg, 0.7bpg, 47-32-69 shooting splits, 16 wins

Kobe: 24.6ppg, 5.0rpg, 5.2apg, 1.1spg, 0.2bpg, 43-34-85 shooting splits, 6 wins (really only 4)



Kobe had a few "take a lot of shots, score a lot of points, and lose" games against Lebron though. :pachaha:


38 points on 33 shots and miss the game-winner at the buzzer, 35 points on 33 shots and lose by 15, 31 points on 31 shots and let Lebron get the game-winner with 40 seconds left while you miss both threes after that, that sort of thing. I guess those were the "feasted" games you were referring to? :jawalrus:



Kobe does have that free throw shooting advantage on him. :troll:

Kobe dropped 30 in a W over Lebron once in his entire career, and that was a 33-3-1. The next closest he came was a 27-2-2. All his other W's were with 20 points or less.

He NEVER hit anything like a 30-7-5 in any W against Lebron in his entire career, not even once in 13 years, and you're claiming he would have dropped it easy based on....what exactly?

They had a window, but overall they both were way too inconsistent. Over their careers only shot 42-43% and averaged 23-24ppg against each other. And the Lakers were almost always a lot better than Marbury's teams.


Lebron-Wade was the lit scoring battles. It's like they had an agreement with their teams, "This is the regular season, just let us go at each other all game." Three times going over 80 combined, three more going over 70. Over their careers Lebron averaged 29ppg and Wade 27ppg, both on great shooting, and Lebron had the edge overall but it was close.


That game where Lebron put up a 47-point triple-double to overcome Wade's 44 points and 9 assists. :wow:
