I think these playoffs have been more fun than any since Jordon and Stockton were still playing, and then Magic/Bird before that. They've been very entertaining, and so many close games and series.

^^Agreed! And who would've ever thought that it could be Denver vs Orlando in the finals? Not that it's locked up, and I certainly don't want to jinx either team, but in my opinion those are the two teams that are playing the best basketball right now!
After last night's game, I don't see how anyone can really argue that Kobe is still a selfish player. The old Kobe might have tried to do it all himself, but I think he's gotten much older and wiser. He knows he needs everyone on the Lakers to be playing together in order to win.
Lebron on the other hand, needs to learn that same lesson. Grant it, his supporting cast has been playing like sh!t, but there's still no way he can do it himself. Lord knows he's trying. I can't wait to see tonight's game though. It's gonna be a classic. I can feel it.

gotta disagree here, buddy.
lebron has nowhere even remotely close to the help around him that kobe does...and kobes teammates (pau and odom) had to call kobe out after the last game, and now, all of a sudden, hes mr. teammate. not buying it. kobe is a stone cold killer and wants to win..and to reach that end, he knew he had to get everyone else involved (begrudingly, imo). but i dont think it was because he is some kind of unselfish good teammate.
the cavs minus lebron are the charlotte bobcats.
all you have to do is see how each team reacts to those guys. the cavs effing love lebron, and the lakers look like they all want to punch kobe in the face.

It's more than just last night's game though. Yeah, Kobe still has those times where he feels the need to try to take over, but he's gotten ALOT better in that regard over the last couple years, IMO. And I'm not saying that Lebron is selfish in anyway. Just that I don't think he trusts his team as much or long enough for them to get it going. Maybe with good reason cause the rest of the team is playing like sh!t. When they play well though, they're a hell of alot better than the Bobcats, let's be fair.
I also think that saying that the other guys on the Lakers wanna punch Kobe in the face is a little ridiculous. Just cause you wanna punch him in the face doesn't mean that everyone does

did you see "kobe doin' work"? all of that pretending to be a good teammate stuff was enough to make me vomit. some of those guys were like "wtf? why are you talking to me?". too funny.
and i was being a bit over the top with the bobcats comment..but not really. if you drafted guys from that orl/cle series it would go like this:
1. leborn (orl) 2. howard (orl) 3. lewis (orl) 4. hedo (orl) 5. peatris (orl) 6. gortat or mo williams- toss up
lebron made these guys look so much better than they really are during the season . and that draft would get even uglier with the lakers or the nuggests instead of the magic
lebron is a one man band. i hope they step up tonight though..cause i dont want this series to end.
but i know kobe and the lakers are your boys..i look forward to talking smack over some herbs in the cinema tent this year. should be good times.

To me Kobe should get an Oscar nod for his performance in Kobe Doing Work. As Bill Simmons said I think that we are going to look back on that movie a couple years as a really solid comedy.
The NBA drew me in again last season but these playoffs have just been incredible and have pumped up my excitement to a new level. I know a couple of days ago I said I would be disinterested in Orlando making the Finals but I'm almost completely convinced that any match up is going to be great. I'm looking forward to watching some NBA Finals at Roo last year game 4 was a great experience.

Yup, I've been saying that too. Rafer's a good fill-in, but with Jameer, no way that Celts series goes to 7 and the Magic would already be in the finals.
My roommate was trying to argue last night that Delonte West was better than Jameer Nelson. I got a good laugh out of that one.
