IT all starts with Duncan though. Legitimately a top 5 player all time. Definitely better than Kobe. It's not even close.
you keep pushing this ridiculous argument. Yeah, and Ibra is better than Buffon. completely different classes ffs.

Spurs are plain boring, but their scrubs defend well and their shooting is good, otherwise as individuals they are utter shit. Give me a break... Boner ffs!

Kobe is right when he says Gasol should be more assertive. He doesn't have to go to the basket; hes decent from medium range, he should take the jumpshot more often, not just receive and pass.

But Kobe is obviously the main responsible. He is copying MJ yet again, when age doesn't allow him to be quick and penetrate, he keeps making jumpshot after jumpshot... but his accuracy hasn't improved during the years like Jordan's, it stayed the same, so obviously his effectiveness will drop.


btw senatore its common knowledge that receive and shoot has better percentage than create your own shot. Only you can be as arrogant to think people actually 'don't get it'. However this isn't 3pt contest; just as a good goal is more appreciated than a tap in, uncontested shot shouldn't have the same value as a basket thats been earned.

The Spurs are your prototypical veteran squad ready to make a final run. Duncan and Ginobli are getting up there in age, and Parker isn't far behind at 30.

I still say the Thunder take down the Spurs in the Conference Finals. Two words. James. Harden.

You're argument is the one which is flawed.

One they are all basketball players so they are comparable. Duncan is more dominating, always has been. But like I said, Duncan will go down as 1 of 5 best ever. My team would be Magic, MJ, Bird, Duncan, Russell as 5 best, but w/e. Maybe Lebron taking Birds spot one day.

edit- actually hard to say. Kareem and Wilt have legit claims at center. Though I'd put Wilt at a clear #3. Anyway different argument.

-


Anyway, i don't give a fuck what anyone does individually. It's really not relevant. What's relevant is team result.

Bonner is fine. He's over 40% 3 point shooter. When your PF shoots 3s at that high a percentage it forces opposing PF to go guard him. Someone like Ibaka for example, whill be chasing Bonner on the perimeter, aka he cannot effect anything inside. He can't get blocks easily as long as Bonners out there. For someone who is such a huge defensive presense (IBaka) this is a BIG deal. It completely changes the game.

Same for Diaw, by the way. Stretch 4's are useful.


Do I think Bonner is some amazing bball prophet? No. Is he easily replaceable? Maybe. But he has his functions.

One thing though with the Spurs; they have hardly been tested in this playoffs.
The Jazz realistically had no shot and the clippers are limited in the half court.

OKC will be there toughest test in these playoffs. I think they beat them though.

In the east; I don't see Miami winning shit. The pacers are exposing them and if they had a legitimate inside and outside threat Miami would of been swept unless Wade and Lebron :eek: play like they did every night.

Celtic V Spurs final. Book it.

btw, Congo you from Boston?

Kobe playing like a man possessed in the first quarter :eek: but Lakers' defence is no match for OKC.

Kobe's pissed.

This will be a good one.

Came turned the minute Westbrook went out. He's incredibly underrated, his overall impact. It really impresses me how much he improves everyday

Lakers just cant handle Thunder transition and there rotations are just too slow. Best hope is keep it close until the end and Kobe close it. He can't fail three times in a row, right :lol:

What a great game. Lakers foul trouble is a serious problem. Though fucking refs didn't have to gift all those fts to OKC :mad:

Refs are calling it tight.

I thought Westbrook was on his way to being kicked out of game in 1st. Good for him to keep it together so far. Knock on wood


James Harden is so fucking crafty
