Having one player is not enough to defeat the lakers. Especially when the lakers match up so well against them. Ron Artest could Guard Durrant leaving kobe to not have to play defense. No one can match up against Odom, Gasol or Bynum. Not to mention they got Kobe. I say lakers in 4. chansaet
Kobe doesn't defend the best player to begin with.
For example, back when they used to play the Spurs he never guarded Ginobli, who was matched up at SG against him. Want to know who he guarded? Bruce Bowen. Do you know what Bowen did? Stand in the corner and wait for a kickout pass for a corner 3.
Lakers will win butI hope they don't. I hate how hypocritical Phil Jackson is. He coaches the same guy who got perhaps the most BS call of all time. You guys remember back in the 03 playoffs (I think it was 03) where Kobe got a 4 point play on a foul by Szcerbiak? If Kobe had went up for a straight J like he normally does, no contact would have happened. However, he jumped, shot sideways and extended his legs out to draw contact with a Szcerbiak who was trying to avoid the contact, barely touched his toes and Kobe got the call.
It's what let Lakers defeat Minnesota, and move on to an eventual championship. Kobe has also gotten plenty of other questionable calls, as did Jordan. I love how everyone is starting to cry about Durant now since KG spoke up. KG plays with Paul Pierce, perhaps the most overrated player ever as well as the guy who is 2nd all time in "most BS fouls ever" behind Wade.
