hey sluts it's game time!!

if the Heatles lose does Pat Reilly take over as coach next year?

Nope, even he has to know the error of this teams design. The defense is a high pressure, high energy press D, and they have old horses running a young man's run and gun game plan. Either they change to a more half court scheme, which is not in the best interest if you have LeBron, or you get younger players. I think Riles gets younger players first. This D works, it was ranked 5th in the NBA, against teams like the Thunder or if they played the Grizzlies. But against passing teams like the Spurs, last years Celtics, the Heat are in trouble with movement offenses. If the Lakers still ran the triangle, they also would give the Heat fits. But the Heat's defense is still great, but it can use some younger players.

Duncan came to play!

lol @ calling that a foul on Allen when he was knocked over like that



Duncan is so close to his 5th ring

[Hack Wilson - real]

Duncan is playing out of his mind today

[Hack Wilson - real]

duncan is about to pass Shaq in playoff rebounds

[Hack Wilson - real]

and this might be Chris Bosh and Erik Spoelstra's last quarter employed by the Heat lolz

[Hack Wilson - real]

what a game

[Hack Wilson - real]

Bron is going crazy in the 4th so far...Bosh is a ghost lately as far as scoring goes

[Sccit]

At the end of the day, Kobe>Shaq>LeBron

right now:  Shaq > kobe > lebron


but give it a few years and this equation could easily be flipped upside down.  this ain't Lebron's last trip to the finals...he's only 28.

i'll rank the top 10 lakers all-time to make it easier for u to realize how far apart they are


kobe=magic>kareem>wilt>shaq>west>baylor>worthy>goodrich>wilkes

Really, let's not get it twisted, Wilt's best years were not with the Lakers. I'd go like this.

Kobe>Magic>Kareem>West>Mikan>Shaq>Baylor>Worthy>Wilt>Goodrich (About to be Pau Gasol in that 10th spot soon though. I said it!)

im not goin based on their career as a laker only, and putting mikan ahead of worthy and baylor is blasphemy.

Really, 5 titles and being the first great star in the NBA is not something to be proud of as a franchise. I am not going off of pure skill, then you'd never have older players on any list. I am going off greatest career as a Laker, and Mikan won 5 titles and was the first great player in the NBA. Plus, in a time when blacks were not allowed to play in the BAA (later merged with the NBA), George Mikan challenged the Globetrotters in 1948 after the Lakers won their first BAA title. So because Mikan was willing to play challenge and play against the Globetrotters, this helped speed up the integration of basketball. Mikan's legacy as a Laker, and to the sport of basketball is HUGE!

still, to say he's a better player than them is a joke.

[Hack Wilson - real]

saying Kobe is better than Magic is a joke.


However, Duncan over Kobe?  That is the truth.

I'll debate all that later, Tony Parker has ice in his veins right now!

[Hack Wilson - real]

I still say Danny Green is the Spurs MVP

[Hack Wilson - real]
