This game reminded me why I don't watch the NBA anymore---how about mixing in a little 7th grade offense? One -on-one isolation until we score--the Celtics' game plan I guess. I appreciate defense--perhaps more than the average fan---but how about trying to set up some offense to produce a makeable shot? Yuck!
I don't get people. They complain that they can't watch the NBA because the players are "too good," but then they say they can't watch it when there's an "ugly game." If you want to watch an ugly game, just watch college basketball, where the only offense is dribbling around for 20 seconds then launching up a 3. NBA is awesome because it's a game of individual battles that make up the team and effect how they perform.
I thought it was a GREAT game.. hard-nosed defense all game long.. No bad calls influencing the outcome of the game.. etc.
Well, Kobe, what a nice time to play horribly. Closest thing we have to MJ? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA no.
+1 I agree.
Kobe played bad in the first half but found a way to get it done when the game was on the line. Like a true champion, he's the MVP without question. Some say he had a bad game with a stat line of 21 points & 15 RB's as a guard (crazy). How great is a guy who has that type of performance considered a bad outing?
