You gotta have faith quagmire that Kobe would pull through - look at Game 5 - like eating crow? lesson learnt - never doubt the great one. Kobe was lucky to be even standing in Game 3/4 with bad flu and sickness let alone play - but now he is recovered its over for the Rockets. Remember nobody remembers who wins the battle but who wins the war. That's the lesson for the day young son

Just when I thought that I couldn't dislike LA, Kobe Bryant and Lakers fans anymore than I already do, you pipe up....
You should write a book and call it "living my life with my head stuck in Kobe's butt" young son.

So far Battier is giving a lesson in focussed, in your face D. Kobe looks out of sinc, Scola is dominating LA's frontline who look pathetic.

As for Kobe being the "Great One", there is no way, absolutely no way in hell that Jordan's Bulls, any of them, would've gone to 7 games against this Rockets team. Bring Shaq back to LA, then the "Great One" might win another title, that's the only way he won any in the first place.

I have to give Quagmire credit, he's the only guy here that gave the Rockets a chance. I had them buried in 5 games..

Anyone else suspect playtime might be a well constructed troll? He just seems to be playing the stereotypical teenage d*ckhead who thinks he knows everything but really knows nothing character a little toooo perfectly for him to be for real.

They're definitely a troll. Potentially the same person around during the Olympics that piped up with adoring comments about manly men every time LeBron was spoken of.
And though playtime (and the other alias from that IP) was banned for a few months recently, they generally stick to an alias and are mostly harmless (though annoying).

I, for one, love hearing his stories about how he does sweet breakaway jams all the time.

With Yao going out the lakers SHOULD play less of a perimeter game, meaning the ball is in kobe's hands less, but OH his precious ego wouldn't allow Gasol and Bynum to take anywhere near as many shots as him.

Plus the NBA wants it to be kobe v lebron this year, they'll do everything in their power to get it.

LeBron v Kobe has been preordained - it's the biggest hit this year and with the financial crisis the NBA can't afford anything less - imagine Denver v Orlando - doesn't have the same ring as LeBron v Kobe does it. and with KG out they couldn;t play a Lakers-Celtics rivarly this year
