No one could do anything on offense for the Lakers except Shaq.

because larry brown admited after the series that they would let shaq get his and focus on everyone else... ( i.e doubling kobe... locking down the perimeter )
shaq can only score so many points.
the plan worked because of how thin the lakers roster was...

I don't see how people underrated Detroit so much. They beat the Pacers without HCA and the Pacers had the best record in the league.

its not because of how low the pistons were rated
its because of how high the lakers were rated
Kobe and shaq alone were enough to win 3 straight
then you throw in malone and payton and they were being talked about as the best team ever put together
but sadly malone got injured, payton stopped playing good, kobe was locked up with double teams, and the pistons let shaq do whatever he wanted while shutting down every role player...
thats the story

lakers had more success in 04 when kobe had more FGA than shaq for the first time ever in a finals series? lakers had more success in 03 when kobe took over 700 more shots than Shaq int he playoffs?
theres a difference between #1 option and teams most efficient player
#1 option means ( who gets the most shots )
sorry bro... you lose

You dont know what you are talking about. You are like no brain man who thinks that everybody elses are same like him. But guess what, we have brain, and you lover Bryant was not better than Shaq in any of these series before finals, let alone vs Philly or Nets.

This means, if you are really 1st option and you get most of shots, you should hit most of shots. But if you are not first option, and you get most shots, but make 35-40% of them then you are called CHUCKER and BALLHOGER.

and after that the team sucked
Yeah if giving up 26.6 PPG on 63.1 FG% and 10.8 RPG in the series is being able to defend Shaq

sure shaq was the more efficient player. but he wasnt the 1st option
and in a way .... when kobe was the main go to guy. the lakers had more success...
This crap doesn't work on me. Does this tell us how many times the ball went into Shaq and he was doubled? No.
I'll trust the coach on who the first option was, as well as my eyes.

plus who cares that shaq shot 60%, do you even watch basketball, look at the shots he takes dunks, layups and 3 foot hook shots, the problem was not offensivly tho
he was outplayed defensivly by far
billups owned payton, and malone was banged up
chemisrty problems
the team was a mess, not all kobes fault
but i give credit to detroit they played much better and deserved the title
