That's why they made the finals last year, for all of Lebron's individual greatness it was their team defense that took them to the next level - it was their lack of team defense to start the season which also resulted in them (the Cavs) sucking pretty hard to start the year.
This guy just ripped LeBron's finals performance in one thread, and then recognizes in this thread that his team sucks.Inconsistent thoughts.D-Whistle wrote:I feel bad for Kobe. The best player in basketball shouldn't be forced to play with all those slouches. IMO, this one hurts the Lakers. Without Bynum, these are the games they must win.......home against POS teams like Cleveland.

Kobe needed someone to step up and take a shot after drawing a double team... the end was a perfect example of the lakers.. inability to move their feet and just watch kobe do everything. walton should have walked back knowing the double team is going to go on kobe... he should have set his feet behind the 3 point line then the instant he gets the ball take the shot. Instead he passes the ball to kobe stands there next to him, gets the ball back doesnt take the shot and gives it back to kobe with 1 second left.
Kobe and lebron are in different positions... i'm sick and tired about people saying lebron is better because he can beat him 1 on 1.

Another amusing thing is that Kobe could have easily shot a 3 at the end and knowing that he's clutch its not out of the world and has a good chance of that going in. Instead he passed it to an open Puke who couldnt even get a shot off; isnt this what LeBron did in the ECF last year in the first 2 games.

I don't think you've seen very many Cavs fans/LeBron fans claiming that LeBron is the better player because of this game. There are those of us that believe that he's right there but it had nothing to do with this game nor did this game effect that opinion. In fact I was criticizing LeBron in this game for playing in a way that is different from his normal game (more turnovers than assists? That never happens).
