Lakers beat Celtics to take Game 5. Post-game discussion here

[Loki]

I love how every single time Kobe has a bad game, it's all "there were 3 guys on him!"

I guess teams just decide not to triple Kobe those games where he plays well. They just forget how to play defense -- never mind that Kobe looked totally different in game 3 than he did tonight in terms of how he was playing.

Boston only went to the box and 1 late in the game, and Kobe -- low basketball IQ that he has -- decided to try repeatedly to isolate at the top of the key and beat it off the dribble. That's just STUPID basketball, no ifs ands or buts.

I guess every time Kobe has a bad game (which tonight's was after a scorching first quarter) we'll just have to hear the excuses from his fans. They expect us to believe it, too.

Not Kobes fault, the Celts don't give him any shots and force his teammates to step up.

I saw Kobe take plenty of bad shots.

Just don't take 6th graders seriously.

I just don't get these idiots.Kobe could go 2-20 and they would still say MJ is not better.They just don't get it.

gasol = game mvp. Shear heart and massive rebounds, however still has those soft moments.

Too bad he is still the Tinman. 1 game dont change that.

Show me a game when he went 2-20?




However, I was proud of Lamar and Gasol for stepping up tonight.

you my friend are stupid


you see how Pierce went through 3 Lakers enroute to a layup or FT's many times this game? why can't Kobe do that?


hes just NOT good enough

idiotic.
Pierce was going thru VRad or Luke Walton. Both of whom are below average defenders. And when he gets past them, he is facing Gasol.....oohhhh, big scary Gasol. Please. Gasol and his 4" vertical are about as intimidating as a well-trained goldfish.

if you dont recognize this, then you dont see why the Celts have been the best defensive team all season and the Lakers ranked 17th.

dude....you didnt even watch the game...what the hell do u know?? u were begging others for link online??

GTFO

Kobe was 3-13 after the first quarter. Don't tell me that that's not laying an egg. Please...

[Celts34]

Dude that drive by Pierce was most definitely a foul, Kobe whacked him in the arm and in his ribcage which is why let go of the ball. Thats a hometown non-call. But overall the Lakers deserved to win the game. They played hard and aggressive. But I still have serious question' about the Lakers on D. If they play D like this on tues., as Emmitt Smith would say "Man they probably going to get blowed out!"

kobe had a quiet 25, lakers are lucky they got this W

I said he "could".He is not playing good yet u compare him to a 6 time finals mvp?

[bhov97]

gasol = game mvp. Shear heart and massive rebounds, however still has those soft moments.

yea if u call over the backs massive rebounds, plenty of times gasol tried tipping rebounds over KG's back no fouls called ...also that steal kobe had on pierce was a foul..

LOL...people cryin about Kobe's subpar game....25 pts 7rebs 4ast 5stls on poor shooting...You think he he didn't play hard or something? lol. As if any of you guys could do better? As if any of you guys could even make it to the league? You think Bryant wants to shoot bad? Last time I checked Bryant was a pretty good f*cking basketball player. lol...you guys disgust me...He played well enough to win, and so did the Lakers, what else do people want? A perfect game? Never, not against this team at least. Go watch the Utah series if you wanna see Kobe get lay ups and free throws and shoot 50+ %
