Kobe is gonna guard Steve Nash..

[unbreakable]

and cement himself as one of the greatest all around players of all time. First he puts the clamps on one of the most dynamic PGs in the game (westbrook), and now he will attack one of the greatest offensive players the game has ever seen.

[Rekindled]

whos fisher guarding then

[imnew09]

nah.
He might but just for a while, not the entire game though.

[phoenix18]

He should have guarded him about four years ago...

Then the Lakers would have had a seven game series with the Clippers.:mad:

I wanted to see that so bad.:(

I just dont know if the Clips will ever make the Playoffs again.:(

[HorryIsMyMVP]

:lol If Kobe did guard Nash, Nash would score 45.

[Dresta]

Nah, he's just gonna get lit up by J-Rich.

[D-Rose]

Nah, he's just gonna get lit up by J-Rich.
Kidding right?

If that's the matchup, J-Rich won't do too much on offense. He is out of his offensive element when he guards a superstar-esque player.

[artificial]

Is that your irrational wet dream, or are you honestly hoping J-Rich averages 35 on Fisher?

[NotAStraitHater]

Pick-and-roll until they screw up their switches?

And then Nash would roast whoever happens to his favorite Laker plaything.

[LA_Showtime]

I hope the Lakers don't take my attitude going into the Suns series. I don't see the Suns giving the Lakers any problems whatsoever. They might win a game or two, but if they advance it's because Kobe or Gasol got injured.
:oldlol:

[Just2Clutch]

Ok and who ever fisher guards will be the one getting 30+ . :oldlol:

The Lakers could beat the Suns without one of those two players.. Whether it was Kobe or Gasol... The Suns are just no match for what is PROBABLY THE BEST starting lineup the league has seen since the 80's... Size and skill is really hard to beat...

Any team that has Fisher starting is not the best starting 5 since the 80's. I see what you're trying to do. You're overrating LA cause if they win you can say that they were the most talented lineup since the 80's and if they lose you can just blame Kobe for losing with the most talented lineup since the 80's. All you Kobe/Laker haters do the same thing. Loki, you and many more.

[lakerspng]

The Lakers are simply stacked 1-6, which in the playoffs is more important than being solid 1-12.

I don't foresee the need to put Kobe on Nash, Fisher usually does a passable enough job on him and why risk Kobe chasing Nash around all game long. In the 4th quarter of a close game, maybe... for 48 minutes... no need.

Maybe they could beat the Suns easily without Kobe. I disagree that they could beat the Suns easily without Gasol. The fact that there are 2 7-foot dudes around the basket is going to be the biggest advantage the Lakers have.
This is you just MAJORLY overrating the rest of the Lakers.
THEIR SIZE is the reason they're a special team. Not so much their skill. Not taking away from the fact that Kobe and Gasol are good players, but Bynum still goes a game without scoring, lots of their players are young, lots of their players are old...they're talented, yes, but size is definitely going to be the biggest factor in that series.

exactly: kobe on nash, nash passes to richardson, richardson is "guarded" by fisher, richardson scores!

people who watch highlights only shouldn't be allowed to make threads.

[lakerspng]

Kobe is still the best player on the floor in that series and if he has a week of rest going into it, he is going to shred the Suns defense.

The only problem is the LAKERS do have the best starting five since the 80's... Start a thread on it and I bet I am correct... GO AHEAD START ONE... Most Laker fans had this team winning 70 plus.. The Lakers were hit with injuries and that hurt the way they finished the season... TELL me one team that can win without their best and third best player in the WEST... Not one team...

TWO IDIOTS THAT HAVE spoken bad about Fish are now EATING ISH... Probably the same idiot.. :oldlol:

What has Fish done to warrant praise? He had the lowest PER out of any starter in the league. Do you not realize that? He hits clutch shots and I'm supposed to forget his horrendous D? Fisher went from terrible(regular season) to mediocre(playoffs). Fish wouldn't even have to hit those clutch shots if he wasn't beyond horrible on defense. So what have you been right about? Your act is getting old. Keep trying your best to get up there on Knoe/Loki level.

No he wont....His whole game is to diminish Kobe....So, if Lakers win...He will basically turn Fisher into Magic, Bynum into Kareem, and Artest into Bird or some sh!t...Just to take away the FACT that Kobe was important/Best Player...(something High IQ fans know already.)

The only reason he comments in Laker gm threads....I guess Trolling is cute.

[NotAStraitHater]

Bynum actually plays great vs the Suns... His size is just too much for the SUNS...

Yeah, he does, because he's huge. But you have to admit, he's not as reliable as Pau is. As a Suns fan, I wouldn't be as concerned if Pau was out, I think we'd have a chance at doing something against Bynum. Trying different things, crowding, hacking, anything.
The fact that Pau is there creates a bigger problem though, considering we can't crowd both at the same time, we can't hack both of them.
It helps the Lakers a lot that Pau is there, IMO. Sometimes even more so than Kobe being there.

There isn't a player that is above and beyond criticism. And like I said, I'll be the first to admit that Nash is good at LOTS of things...but he couldn't defend my 2 year old brother. His defense consists of trying to take charges...I say trying because half the time, he doesn't get the call he's looking for.

Yeah that's a shame though.

I always hated when players come out with phantom injuries that aren't defined.

TP says his shoulder hurt but I SAW him fall on it and land very hard. Everyone SAW Nash get elbowed in the face.

But Lebron's injury? He didn't even saY how or when it happened it just appeared out of thin air.

I really think it happened during the Bulls series when Rose drove right and hit a floater over Lebron and practically bowed him over.:lol

Let's just say that Fisher is disciplined on D enough to make him work. He's doing a pretty decent job on Deron so far.

I can agree with that.

I'd like to add that Fisher knows Deron's game better than most of the NBA and has all their plays memorized to which helps a bit too I'd wager.

[BlackWhiteGreen]

Amare duh, Bynum will be in foul trouble and Gasol is too soft

[The_Yearning]

Okay, first off, Nash is a white dude. Everybody's confidence rises when they go up against Nash, defensively and offensively. I would not be surprised if Farmar will do some damage on Nash.

Only way for Suns to win this if Dragic goes hard this series.

[JtotheIzzo]

and cement himself as one of the greatest all around players of all time. First he puts the clamps on one of the most dynamic PGs in the game (westbrook), and now he will attack one of the greatest offensive players the game has ever seen.

And the Lakers don't have the best starting lineup since the 80s. The Celtics had a better one in 08

2008 Celtics and 2010 Lakers:

Rondo >> Fisher
Ray < Kobe
Pierce >>> Artest
KG = Gasol
Perkins > Bynum

LoL bynum > perkins anytime

Huh?
So Gasol will be MVP once Kobe retires? and DPOY?
:roll:
And Perkins is getting 20/10 games? (not that Bynum has them consistently)

[macpierce]

i think i take perkins angry defense over bynum sometimes tho

Neither does the rest of the NBA! GO LAKES!

:lol

[wally_world]

LMAO @ the people who think Bynum > Perkins as if it wasnt even close. Perkins does so many things statistics do not justify. As a roleplayer on a championship, Perkins is everything Lakers wished Bynum is.

[ashbelly]

The Lakers could beat the Suns without one of those two players.. Whether it was Kobe or Gasol... The Suns are just no match for what is PROBABLY THE BEST starting lineup the league has seen since the 80's... Size and skill is really hard to beat...


you are drinking that Kool aid bro. The 96 bulls didnt have the length that the lakers have and had way too many injuries than the lakers but won 72 games. You still sipping on that Kool aid ?? :oldlol:

[dutchguy]

aside from the obvious danger I put myself in, replying to failage, Dragic is also white, so won't he get the other players amped as well?

and while we are at it, is Farmar even black?
:oldlol:

[Se]

Channing Frye is going to let it rain.

True. Bynum will get limited minutes after the first 6 minutes of each half.

Gasol and Odom will see a lot of time together.

[Soothsayer]

and cement himself as one of the greatest all around players of all time. First he puts the clamps on one of the most dynamic PGs in the game (westbrook), and now he will attack one of the greatest offensive players the game has ever seen.

Kobe only guarded Westbrook for a small portion of the series, and Westbrook was intimidated by the FACT Kobe was guarding him moreso than the actual defense Kobe played. Kobe's reputation on defense is better and more effective than Kobe's actual defense at this point in his career.

[Dresta]

Kidding right?

If that's the matchup, J-Rich won't do too much on offense. He is out of his offensive element when he guards a superstar-esque player.
No, i guarantee Kobe will get lit up by J-Rich if he guards him, he gives shooters too much space.

[LA KB24]

Bro...

Perkins is better than Bynum.

What are you talking about?
Hahahahah. Are you serious or trolling?

Better in what? He's a better defender and that's about it.

Bynum > Perkins any fcking day.

[devin112]

w/ the seven footers, odom and artest behind me, most 6-6 athletic players can guard nash. w/ that crew behind u, u can take more risks.

If Kobe's reputation affects players then isn't that as good as being a good defender? :oldlol:

No, obviously. As Westbrook said after that game, Kobe wasn't really guarding me, I was just being passive. Once a player realizes that the substance can't back up the reputation any longer, the reputation becomes meaningless. Kobe's defense is still above average, but hardly elite, except in short spurts.

You would have a valid point had Westbrook played better afterwards.

[Replay32]

Why would phil put kobe on nash? That's just dumb and unnecessary.

Against really talented offensive players yea he can't shut em down... nobody really can. Against poor-pretty good offensive players he is fantastic tho.

[Jacks3]

Not true. He was on him the last 2 games. In fact, the two most important games of the series.

[Soothsayer]

Yes. And he did.

[Soothsayer]

Not true. He was on him the last 2 games. In fact, the two most important games of the series.

Kobe was only on Westbrook for a portion of game 6. Westbrook was also better in that game once he adjusted mentally to Kobe guarding him. Kobe can't check Westbrook, but he was better than D Fish.

[Soothsayer]

Against really talented offensive players yea he can't shut em down... nobody really can. Against poor-pretty good offensive players he is fantastic tho.

Agreed. Kobe, at this point in his career, has most defensive success eating up moderate offensive 2 guards.

[NewYorkUSCtrojan]

D.Fish and Jordan is doing a tremendous job on Nash. No need for Kobe in this series.
