Re: Kobe Bryant 42pts in Elimination Game Against OKC
Gameplan. OKC focused on limiting the bigs and trying not to be too physical with Kobe and get in foul trouble. Not saying it worked to perfection, but obviously they showed in the fourth quarter of game four that if you can take the bigs out of the game, and let Kobe get his, the Lakers struggle.

Kobe sat out like the first 3 minutes of the 4th when OKC made a huge run to closeout the game. Quit trolling.

This. The best thing about this Laker lost is that the trolls don't have any excuse to bash Kobe.

Proof that scoring a buncha points isn't all there is to the game. 96 Magic tried this same tactic with Shaq, and it made not a bit of difference. The fact that the lead INCREASED once Kobe came back in is proof that this will ALWAYS be a team game. glad young bucks like Durant already understand that.

Key word right there. Kobe just waited too late to realize that (as if he realized it at all, which his past 2 fourth quarters before tonight proved, he DIDN'T).

Doesn't change the fact that pau is no robin anymore. Not in this offense. And bynum doesn't care about defense. I think deep down, even though kobe is selfish and wants to make the big shots, he WISHES he had a player like CP3 that some nights he can just stand to the side and wait for the open shot to come to him. Durant has two of those guys. Two.
As awesome as it is playing with 2 7 footers from a rebounding standpoint, not having anyone be able ot create on your team is a hell of a burden.
