NBA Finals 2009: Lakers vs Magic

[deihatein]

I am gonna be rooting for the Magic, I like the color blue and they are blue lol. It just that I have never like the Lakers ever since Kobe is their taking every shot. I hope the Magic wins one at the Lakers.

Go MAGIC

[The X]

Pietrus needs to at least continue his current level of play & contain Kobe.

How do you stop the unstoppable?
You're sometimes good for a laugh X.


lol at the lolcat giving the finger.

I didn't say stop, I said contain....the Celtics contained Kobe last year....containing is doing what Battier does to Kobe....if Kobe needs to work a lot harder to get his, take more shots to get his points, or making him less effective for the team, then I see that as containing....

apart from that, Benji & co more or less covered it all....

Nice work form shadowgrin !
Andrew locked my thread because of that retard , posting some f*cking non-sense !
7850+ posts full of nonsense . . . What a shame



Lakers the '09 Chimps !

[benji]

I'm sure that kind of post will further endure you to the powers that be.

Just saying , I don't want an arguement but that guy is always starting something . . .

[benji]

That's fine, but don't bring it into other threads. It's not going to do you any favors with the powers that be.

[MikeMan™]

Okay , okay . . .
I'm not going to post any non-sense anymore ( hope he'll do that too ) .



DisneyWorld v Disneyland Match-Ups :

Alston v Fisher - They are both jumpshooters but Rafer is more capable of doing damage because he attacks the paint more often than Fisher . Rafer can draw fouls on either Bynum/Gasol .
Orlando Wins PG Match-Up
Lee v Bryant - No need to say things about this .
Los Angeles Wins SG Match-Up
Turkoglu v Ariza - Hedo is an Offensive Player while Trevor's a lockdown defender . They match-up well , but if Orlando needs some offense out of Dwight they might turn to Hedo and that can pose problems to the Lakers but if Hedo gets another Off-Night Orlando will have the problem .
Tie
Lewis v Gasol - Pau can't guard Lewis but he also can't guard Pau . But Pau plays post and Pau's post shots have higher percentage than Rashard's threes ( Well this is a different story if Dwight helps but also if Odom helps ) .
Los Angeles Wins PF Match-Up
Howard v Bynum - Bynum can get a body on Dwight but he can't run like him and his speed gets him that deep position in transition and in Stan's misdirection play .
Orlando Wins C Match-Up
Bench-Play - Los Angeles is much much deeper than Orlando and they have a lot of choices , if Sasha goes off Farmar steps in then if either of them goes off then there's Brown and there's Odom . Orlando only have Pietrus he can be a threat but he's the only one . Johnson , Gortat and the others are non-scorers and sub-par defenders .
Los Angeles Is Much Deeper
Home-Court Advantage - This can backfire for the Lakers , Hedo is far better when he's playing away from Home , the Crowd and Jack Nicholson can't help anyways but cheer and that's not going to help .
Coach - You can't say rings is the advantage here because rings don't do anything but represent . Phil has the players but Stan has the brains and mouth to do it . Phil's too quiet not like Stan , and shouting makes an impact on player's minds .
If you play for a basketball team you'll know this , shouting coaches inspire more than quiet coaches .
Orlando Wins Coach Match-Up


Lakers '09 Chumps !

[dopeboy]

gortat isn't sub-par defender. you should know that..

[Sauru]

Kobe is unstoppable, how can u stop the unstoppable?

you must have missed last years finals



anyway, go magic. i think they are good enough to do it, howard just needs to keep hitting his free throws specially late game.

[Oakrhum]

Kobe is unstoppable, how can u stop the unstoppable?

I wonder why you guys are taking this seriously. This line was just taken from the Kobe-LeBron puppet commercials.

[NovU]

Obvioous no one was being serious but those who replied to it were just trying make a point. No reasons to get upset over it unless you insanely hate Kobe or shadowgrin so much.

[Oznogrd]

Orlando Wins Coach Match-Up

this pretty much seals the deal: you just picked stan van gundy as a better coach than phil?

[Oakrhum]

How did you say it is obvious? And who's upset?

[Lean]

And now you're taking that post of zanshadow seriously.

[Oakrhum]

And now you're taking that post of zanshadow seriously.

No Crappy guy, I'm just asking. Don't take it seriously.

[Lean]

Then why did you ask if the line zanshadow was referring to was referring to the line that you mentioned about the LeBron-Kobe puppet ad?

Don't try to be a smart ass.

[NovU]

Isn't it obvious to you that Kobe is stoppable while he has been unstoppable on many occassions in many games in many years? Isn't it obvious someone is at war with shadowgrin? Rofl... Oakrhum, I didn't mean to argue anyone.

[Oakrhum]

Then why did you ask if the line zanshadow was referring to was referring to the line that you mentioned about the LeBron-Kobe puppet ad?

Don't try to be a smart ass.

Hey crappy boy, did I ask that?

You're supposed to be a moderator here and you should not speak like that.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Zanshadow, exactly, that's my point, no need to quote that "unstoppable thing" and then reply and no one's arguing with anyone except for the fat guy.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

If Kobe's stoppable and so is Dwight and Hedo and Rashard or Rafer or Lamar or Pau or anyone.

[Lean]

I hope you know how to read, Oakrhum. That has been your problem. If you remember shadowgrin's reminder: Reading. It's good for you.

I wonder why you guys are taking this seriously. This line was just taken from the Kobe-LeBron puppet commercials.

EDIT:

Obvioous no one was being serious but those who replied to it were just trying make a point. No reasons to get upset over it unless you insanely hate Kobe or shadowgrin so much.

The discussion is about how to stop Kobe's "unstoppable" offense. Which as you said, was taken from a puppet ad. Now they're discussing it not because they took that line from that ad, and not that they're taking it seriously.

You're supposed to be a moderator here and you should not speak like that.

No, I did "armchair moderate" when I told you to stop being a smart-ass.

Again, zanshadow said:

Obvioous no one was being serious but those who replied to it were just trying make a point.

Do you know what I mean?

And stop editing your post after realizing you didn't make a point.

Hey Mr. Bacalzo, everything's going right, I'm writing my case, until you hit me with a sarcastic reply. The "Why did you take zanshadow...", I'm just asking Zanshadow. And you have the power here I believe, you don't have to armchair moderate or at least you should just use words that doesn't include ass or any other crappy stuff. I don't know why you're so hot on me. I'm not doing anything here until you hit that unnecessary reply. And I didn't asked the subject the you said I'm asking.

[Lean]

But you referred to it. Clearly.

And no, I'm not going to ban you.

I don't know why you're so hot on me.

You can ask shadowgrin why.

[Modifly]

If Kobe's stoppable and so is Dwight and Hedo and Rashard or Rafer or Lamar or Pau or anyone.

Of course they're stoppable. Who said anything about them being unstoppable? Even Jordan is stoppable, damn it.

Hey crappy boy, did I ask that?

You're supposed to be a moderator here and you should not speak like that.

Calling Lean crappy boy wont help ease your situation mate. Besides, I think he's doing a damn good job moderating, dealing with people like you aint no easy task.

What have I done? I'm just asking and then he replied with words that's unnecessary.

I called him Crappy boy because isn't he crappystuff?

I apologize if I sounded like I was correcting you but I was just saying from my own perspective.

Lean I believe was just making a bit of humor with "serious" stuff. We all should blame this on serious cat and its evil owner, shadowgrin.

seriously, no need to calling names here though.

[Modifly]

well, I think we both know that you know pretty well on the inside that you weren't calling Lean crappy boy just because that's his nickname.

Anyway, let's do what zanshadow suggest here.
