Kobe sucks.

[Doranku]

This was probably the most upset I've ever been after a basketball game. Such a monumental collapse from the entire team.

Before this, it seemed like Kobe had figured out the Celtics D. The Lakers themselves almost made a great comeback in game 2, then game 3 Kobe had 36 on 60% shooting I think. Halftime of game 4, LA rolling again up 20. Looked like they had figured things out.

Nope. Such a depressing game to watch.

Watching it now. They gotta bring back the trophy on the logo and "The Finals" writing on the court.

KD and the Warriors choked away 3-1 leads.

I hate Kobe but he's got nothing on the GOAT chokers in KD and the Warriors.

At least The Finals hey.....its f*cking terrible and the worst thing Silver has done.

You wanna look at back at replays at shit in years to come to and see that...now it just looks like reg season....shit.house.

Kobe mentioned in his Ahmad Rashad interview that this series is what burns him up the most as he reflects back on his career (even after getting some redemption in 2010), and I'm sure Game 4 was by far the biggest part of that. They blew what was the largest 1st-quarter lead in NBA history. It wouldn't have been easy to get two more wins without HCA anyway, but certainly would have been way more fun to watch the end of that series.

'08 C's, as great as they were, needed 26 games out of a possible 28 to win that chip... they really were one of the most notable teams ever to have an on/off switch. That carried over from game to game, sometimes even quarter to quarter. There were games where you knew as early as the first 5 minutes, "wow they really don't give a crap tonight".

They wont. Too many players were complaining about them tripping and slipping on them

[STATUTORY]

I still remember Paul Pierce and mini Pierce Eddie House running on that court mean mugging the crowd

[scuzzy]

Bostons god like defense

[ArbitraryWater]

Kobe's closeout/defense on Allen's huge layup is so bad

[Stringer Bell]
