I recall that being called a foul, no special treatment for LA

The refs obviously missed it, because if someone had a clean look at it, trust me they wouldn't do anything to hurt the Lakers. The Lakers got more calls IN Orlando in game 3 and I thought there was suppose to be a home court advantage. Lakers have gotten more BS calls in this series easily then the Magic.

Am I the only noticing how fatigued Kobe is looking. Dude has lost a lot of his explosiveness.

Nah man. I've definitely seen it. Obviously his athleticism is declining which is natural, but he's been playing basketball non-stop these past couple of years. He's an old dude constantly playing a fast paced game. With the intensity of the playoffs and finals around he's looking even more tired.

Damn just the other day I read someone post on some site that "Whatever dunk Kobe has done, Lebron has done at least 100 times." which made me rofl. Young guns just don't know about Kobe. Before Kobe perfect his game, he used to play just like Lebron bullying his way to the basket and dunking on everyone he could. Hell his dunks were better than Bron's, Bron's just powerful. I miss those days, I'd prefer he'd use his athleticism to try to power it inside instead of taking contested fall aways when the shot clock's running down, too bad it's just not there anymore.

Kobe from 96-03 was his athletic peak. I remember how crazy everybody went when he boomed on yao. I think some of it has to do with he has been playing so much for the last 2-3 years like you touched on.


Kobe had more flare to his dunks than bron. I just really noticed it in the fourth quarter when he was shooting jumpers and how his legs just looked gone. And am I the only one who believes Pau is the next lakers great big instead of bydumb.

Is it weird to say that if the Lakers lose this game, and the next that I'm still not that worried? I don't know why, Lakers are playing like crap right now, but I don't really seem to care because even if Orlando wins their home games, they still have to finish it out in LA. Something I seem to be extremely confident in that they won't be able to.
