Good game yesterday. It came down to one or two plays down the stretch just like the previous one. This series is/will be a lot of fun.
Though I think that the Nuggets could win their series, I think the Lakers are in better shape than the Cavs whom I think will win theirs. The key is that Cavs looked impotent down the stretch. LeBron looked AWESOME but the rest of the team looked as if they hoping that he could deliver for them. Not being able to score is one thing, but not being able to defend is another. The Cavs did not lose because they couldn't score, they lost because they allowed the magic to score at well. The 3 pointer by Lewis was unacceptable!! You were up by two and only a three could beat you... You should defend the three. It’s a classic road team approach; take a three to win over a two to tie!!
As to the Lebron/Kobe discussion that is taking place, I knew it will eventually happen. IMHO Lebron is better and more complete player than Kobe... Look at the rosters and you'll see why!
Saying Lebron is better does not diminish Kobe... It's just like saying Jordan is better than any player of his time... say Magic or Hakim. They were all great!!
I am not a Kobe hater, but it is unfair to put the three rings in the comparison. He had them when he had the big Diesel!!!! and If recall correctly Shaq was the finals MVP in all of them. At that time he was the Robin not the Batman of that team!!
