People blame Kobe...but like the '08 Finals, the Pistons were just a tougher, hungrier team. No two ways about it...the implosion made their loss easier, but Detroit had to be beaten...they weren't going to give it away. And LA just wasn't tough enough
@TjQwin, you based his finals performance on one game and, highlights. even though kobe averaged More shots then shaq, kobe still average less points and lower field goal percentage.
haha pistons won beat the lakers pistons=defense lakers=offense---defense more important than offense thats why we won the series cause we were 10 times better than the lakers were
i do believe i said were, and now we arent even half as good as the lakers... but still we were much brilliant and yeah, u all know its true that defense is the most importaant part of basketball
when ppl say/used to say Kobe can't win without shaq, that was just BS. He won last season, and he did have shaq vs the pistons but they lost. its not like Kobe and shaq were together for 3 years and won 3 titles, shaq left and Kobe started loseing, no. Kobe and shaq were together for several years, its just impossible to win every year.
im not a laker fan but kobe CAN play even better then this!!! hes only scoring 33 points this game! hes scoring 45 points a game now in the playoffs! hes amazing, even though hes sort of an asshole
Fucking hate this series...the series that tore shaq and kobes era apart! had to suffer few years of humilliating defeats from suns ..hopefully lakers will win it this year
the lakers should never have got carl malone and gary payton. They are good players but they ruined the chemistry....kobe and shaq could have beat that team if it was just them two scoring all the points... thats how they won three in a row
I agree but they only picked them up because Jerry Buss wanted to make one last run for a title before breaking the team up. They should've went after Andre Kerilinko and Gilbert Arenas instead as both players would've costed about the same.
this was the only good game from kobe the whole series. if only kobe played like that the whole series, they would of easily won and kobe would win finals mvp
im a huge laker and kobe fan and i have to say dat LA Shoudlve won this title if they had taken boston & detroit seriously they thought kobe & shaq and kobe & gasol would win it for them so nxt yr they have to take bad oppenets very seriously losing to memphis charlotte is unacceptable

That shot must've given Laker-nation the false hope that the Pistons wouldn't blow them out the final three games of the series with 5 on 2 basketball. Go Kobe!
Isn't it sad to think that this is the most current win the Lakers have in the NBA Finals? A game they pretty much almost gave away.
I was worried after they lost game one, even though it happened before with the Sixers in 2001. After almost losing in game two, it almost seemed like the Lakers were destined to lose this series.
One of the toughest times of my life. Fuck the pistons. Lost to the cavaliers. Ha ha ha.
I feel you dawg....The Pistons were a good team back then but the lakers pretty much gave that series away.
and i remember when Kobe hit that shot i said to myself: "Damn, its over for the Pistons.." but surprisingly if it weren't for that shot, the Lakers would have gotten swept.
But if they keep playing they way they've been playing this season, maybe a title series isn't that far ahead...Go Lakers!!!
the only reason why the Pistons won that series just because the Pistons had rasheed wallace and if they ddint aquire rasheed wallace they wouldnt make it to the NBA finals the Pistons are very lucky cause thats why the Pistons won the Finals in 2004 FUcking faggots that proves that they suck they need good players to win the NBA championship FUCK THE PISTONS PISTONS SUCK!!!!
Yeah. The addition of a player like Rasheed can really give a team new life. I compare Pau's addition to the Lakers like 'Sheed's addition to Detroit. We will surprise everyone this year.
You do realize overall Kobe shot horribly in the series and Shaq put up finals MVP numbers even without Kobe passing him the ball right? Just goes to prove Shaq was the better player, regardless of what you dumb ass Laker fans believed.
Even the best combination (shaq + kobe) in the league can't take out the pistons, and kobe was playing so hard in game 2. It took him so much luck and hardwork just to edge pistons. that kind of play can't last everytime, so of course the pistons won.
well duh, that year was the year that kobe and shaq started the fued. shaq was overwieght and the lakers killed themselves. if the pistons had faced them maybe a year before in the finals it wouldnt have been the same result. lakers would have swept the pistons.
i agree i saw everything shaq was so dominant and unstopable but kobe shot something like 30something percent but u cant blaim a competitor well get em one of these years with kobe and bynum but we have to trade lamar for defense my guess j.oneal and luke,javaris for artest fisher,kobe,artest,oneal,bynum how u like that
that will never happen though, but i do like that lineup. i think the lakers chemistry right now is awesum and its showing up in the win column. i dont know if i would risk that, but if they dont get sum1 in here kobe will be out.
i loved the nba up until 2006 now i hate it ..its wack now
