2011-2012 NBA Season

[Guest]

I love how every single NBA player acts like they never foul. Bynum and Gasol has hammered a Nugget on the last couple trips and no call, Gasol gets called for one and he complains.

 

Gasol is such a whiner.

 

But he [and Blake(!?)] are the reason they're going to win this game.

Galianari is worthless in this game.

 

He seems like a guy who is worthless if he's not hitting jumpers. Like there isn't much else he does on the court.

Steve Blake is shooting out of his mind.

Makes up for Lawson, Brewer and Miller going 8-10 from three in Game 6.

Seriously crowd, they stopped playing. You could hear the whistle.

Corey Brewer making a 3-pointer is more amazing than Blake making 5 tonight.

Oh well, it would have been cool if Denver won....not looking very likely now

Not really; he's a great defender.

[Guest]

Wish they would have done this two games ago but oh well. At least they won the series.

[Guest]

Kind of interesting...

 

Both the Lakers and Nuggets shot 35-89 from the field tonight.

Kobe underwhelming in yet another game 7

Yup. 17 points and eight assists with a big 3-pointer in 45 minutes on the floor. Underwhelming.

[UMFan83]

17 points on 16 shots from an NBA great in a game 7. Bravo.

Good point. Should they start Bryant against Oklahoma City or has Steve Blake overtaken him?

[Guest]

I'm stunned that a Vinny Del Negro coached team has responded to adversity.

This isnt a lot of "bad" games at all though when you make deep playoff runs almost every year

[bcl412]

How many "bad" playoff games does Kobe have though?

I'm not sure but soccer's aspergery post of a bunch of box score inks without taking into account how long and consistently Jordan made deep playoff runs was clearly to make it seem like a big number.

44.4% (also 10 rebs and 9 asts)

30% (11 rebs/7 asts)

45.5% (8 rebs/8 asts)

Bulls went 6-7 in those games... the 44.4/45.5/48.1 games shouldn't be there IMO. Take those 3 games out and the record is now 6-4.

Don't look too much into it. The point was simply to show that even the almighty Michael Jordan wasn't immune to the occasional bad elimination/closeout game in the postseason (not to say that MJ had a ton of them or even had them frequently). So the fact that Kobe didn't have a great game isn't all that big of a deal.
