He didn't suck so bad that they were losing.

Are you kidding me? Have you seen Pau's numbers?

And yet in both those games they were ahead til they lost it in the 4th.


They were ahead: In game 2
Same in game 4.

So you take 2 convenient stretch of 2 games out of 5 in which Kobe
forced the action, and you conclude that Bryant is the reason why we
lost. So, now I take 4-5 moments of Pau missing shots, or failing to
rebound, or failing to defend and the conclusion is the loss is on
Pau?

Since those 2 games comprised 40% of the games played and would have put the team up with game 5 being the close out yeah.

4-5 moments for Pau as opposed to a full quarter+ for kobe? The math doesn't add up.


OKC wasn't the better team.
The regualr season clearly says otherwise.
Not in the PO's they weren't.

FACTS are telling different things. Not only they took us out in 5
games, with 3 close games and 2 blowouts (losses). They are taking
down the Spurs, after SA won 18 consecutive games by an average of
almost 15 points.
And, unless some dramatic event happen, they're going to win it all.
The Thunder really seems the best team in Bball right now.
But go on thinking we were the better team, if it helps you sleep at
night :-)

With the exception of game 3 Pop and the Spurs have had OKC's number.
We'll see what happens in the game 4 but the Lakers blew out the Spurs
once and then were in turn blown out the next two games. I'd say Spurs
in 5.
Maybe you prefer to reconsider now. :-)

Not yet. Pop's great at making adjustments so we'll see.


Still nothing?

Nothing much to say. We'll see tonight if Pop and the team can make the necessary adjustments. If they do and win what'll be your argument then? Luck? If not then OKC was the better team. Still doesn't mean they were better than the Lakers in their series.
