Which Kobe Shows Up for Game 6?

Tonight, will he be the facilitator from Game 5, or the scorer from the previous four games: ”I’ll just read the defense,’ Kobe Bryant said. ‘Denver’s not going to let me isolate someone and go by them. They’re not going to let me play one-on-one. I have to trust my teammates to make plays, and then when those lanes open up, I’ll take advantage of them.’  Whichever alter-ego Bryant chooses to unfurl, the Lakers will be counting on him to lead them to a rare road victory when their backs aren’t against the wall. They’ve squandered three such scenarios in these playoffs already, failing to recover from huge early deficits in Games 4 and 6 at Houston in the second round and getting run off the court in the second half of a 19-point loss at Denver on Monday night.”

  • Eboy Posted: May.29 at 10:08 am
    Obviously, Kobe will score 119 points tonight in a 165-163 tough loss in five overtimes.

    E, How many TOs that Wade will be making if he played against the Nuggets?

  • Eboy Posted: May.29 at 10:47 am
    Uhm…..I’m not sure what you were trying to type Sesa….so I’d assume it’s an insult to Wade, so I’ll play along….he’d probably have 233 turnovers in a seven game series against the Nugs, 769 against the Lakers, 954 against the Magic and 1,705, 837 against the Cavs, you know ’cause he wouldn’t get a call against Lebron.

    You gave up on defending Wade?

  • rikson Posted: May.29 at 11:05 am
    You dont need to defend Wade!

  • Eboy Posted: May.29 at 11:07 am
    No Sesa….but I can take the hits dished his way in a way that you wouldn’t think someone throwing an insult at Dwyane would me want to come to blows because of someone’s opinion (right or wrong) of him. He’s my dude all day…..but I know his faults.

  • Sesa Posted: May.29 at 11:13 am
    Nah, I’m just playin’ around with u ever since you kept throwin jab at Kobe. Seriously, Wade is a’ight but I don’t think that Mario Chalmers and Beasley is the one that the Heat needs right now.

    MJ has said himself, he sees a little of him in Kobe, he will do what he has to do, like his idol MJ, except punch a teammate.
