"Bottom line, all you Kobe Haters....you hate him Coz' just you want to......granted you have a reason or not....Raja Bell needed a 2 minutes fame on media, and he got it....Ruben Patterson used to known as Kobe stopper...and he vanished....Bruce Bowen...you name it....Truth is, he is unguardable....like M5 said, he made all the tough shots yesterday....that's what great players do....make tough shots look easy....If Kobe wanted to, he could have easily dropped 50 yesterday.....he did drop 42+ in regular season...and I think Raja Bell was guarding him there too right??? So, there is nothing special about Raja Bell's defense....As Kobe said yesterday in the post game interview...he doesnot consider Raja Bell as a premiere defender as Bruce Bowen or Ron Artest...and I agree with him 100%....." WOW..KNIGHTCRAWLER..u go man!!! i dont have to say anything now...u said it all bro!!!! YEP>..raja Bell is popular now..hahahha...stupid ass thinks he can guard kobe...wahtever.. Where was his defense when kobe was scoring like 40+ points in regular season... M5 said,"Shaq immediately made Miami a contender, Detriot is their only hurdle. Lakers can barely make the playoffs, and Shaq is still playing while Kobe is goin FISHIN!! " DUDE....are u kidding me? Shaq went to miami knowing that he will find KOBE in WADE.. Wade is doing what kobe used to do for shaq. Shaq knew miami was already a playoff team..tahts why he had no problem goin there...afterall, he wanted more money.. IF u really think Miami is Miami cause of shaq..how come they didnt win game 7 Last year? IF wade was healthy , they had a chance...Cause ITS THE FLASH who is keeping that team from loosing...SHAQ is OLD....If Bulls gave shaq a hard time, how bout B.Wallace n R.wallace...cant wait to see ..but wait....first they have to go through the NETS..i dont think Miami gonna have a easy series with the nets...we will see Lakers barely made a playoff....yes..they did....nobody thought they would... U keep watching..they will go to the finals again..very soon...just keep watching...When Shaq was traded, Lakers was one of the youngest team in nba.. Only veteran they have is KObe... look what they have done in 2 years...they were playing neck to neck with the Suns...i dont have any problem about lakers losing in this series..it will only bring the best out of them in enxt season...keep watchin... By the way, MAvs r kicking some ass !!! GO MAVS.
