Over in 5

Grats jeremy! At least one of our teams got it this year. I'm jealous after the heart breaker series Redwings had this month. I enjoyed watching LA win a lot more than i did Boston. I guess cause i am a notorius Kobe fan, and don't like Peirce so much.

You still think Kobe is a bad leader? hehe. The only person i see come close to that amount of on-floor coaching is billups.

I'm glad this championship is over. so people will stop trying to get Kobe to say he wanted to win this one to prove he could do it without shaq. Everytime they lead him that way i cringed. Why do they think he would say that. If Kobe actually did think that, it would probably only be a small part of what comprised his desire for another ring. Just too much mentioning of Shaq in general last night and during the playoffs.

Wish the series could of gone longer, but at least we had a few thrillers.

I think sometimes SVG is too quick to make adjustments. And the effect that has is total inconsistancy on how much and when players are on the court. One night a guy(like reddick) is playing over 20 minutes. then he isn't playhing at all. One night Nelson closes, one night Alston, one night neither of them play down the stretch. I think you gotta stick to a gameplan more than that, so the players can know what to expect and be (more) ready.

I actually have had my opinion raised of SVG this playoffs. I jsut think he reacts too much, and shakes things up too soon or too often. I have thought this before this series as well, but now i am more firm on the opinion.

Considering Bynum and what i expect from him with a full healthy season. LA is gonna be tough as hell to beat.

Sounds like shaq is headed to Cleveland. He actually kinda came back to form this year, so that could make a huge difference for Clev. Stamina is down for Shaq, but he was ballin' when on the court.
