That's the difference. I know the series is far from over, but that game wasn't that close either. They made a run but when it was time to play defense, that's when the heat came up short.
Did I say Bulls in 7 ? My bad... may only go 6.

SOGGY,
I shole didn't know kobe was injured to the extent that he had missed all those games like DWade did.
:smh:

How can you, with a straight face defend miami's losses, yet criticize the Lakers for losing? The Lakers had players just coming off injuries as well, and still are playing injured (Walton, Odom and Kwame.
Somehow you conveniently avoided mentioning that little tidbit of information.
Your biasness has been exposed.:what:

You can't have it both ways Soggy. Make up your mind. Either they are good players that are currently playing hurt or they are bad players who are currently playing hurt. ~snicker~

ummmm,
but yall weren't calling "Walton, Odom, and Kwame" the greatest ever. Yall were calling ebok that. And he aint been out injured.

Never said Wade was the greatest either. Moot point.
How did a post about the Heat and the Bulls turn into conversations about Jack Bauer and the Lakers?
You must sleep on a 24 pillow at night, or be the charter member of the I'm on Kobe's balls fan club.
But wait a minute. The Heat have Shaq...remember? You and all of the other Kobe haters have been saying from day 1 that it was Shaq who carried the Lakers all of those championship years. So what if DWade is not 100%. They got Shaq right?

Come on Soggy. You know Shaq carried the Lakers then. He was several years younger then. Can you say 3 times FINALS MVP. Shaq was batman and Kobe was Robin. Last year Shaq played robin to DWade's batman. Now if Kobe could have just waited a little longer before trying to take over. He could have been Batman and Shaq could have been robin. Just like Magic did with Kareem. Kareem was the man when Magic first got there. Then as time rolled on. Magic was the man and then Kareem and Worthy and others. Ko-me wanted it to be all about him. Sometimes winning titles to early can go to your head. Same thing happened with Sam Cassells in Houston. Won 2 titles in his first 2 years and then wanted to start taking more shots than he was supposed to and be the man. Pissed Dream off so much and hence Sam got traded.
BTW, Shaq played well why Wade was hurt. They won their first 9 out 11 when Wade went down and Shaq dominated.

Boy, yall give Kobe too much credit and too much power.
Ain't too many brothas who can do what yall accuse Kobe of doing to a White owner and general manager, but after sayin all that, I understand where you're comin from.
Kobe's basketball skills has mesmorized so many folks that they now think he's the owner of the Lakers and that he tells Jerry Buss and mitch kupchak to jump and how high to jump.
Ain't botherin me one bit.
If Shaq wouldn't have tried to publicly embarass Buss, he'd probably STILL be a Laker and he'd STILL be makin movies and millions.
He's now ready to be put out to pasture, while Kobe's still strokin it.

But isn't that what "KINGS" are all about? :ebrow:
Oh, so you admit that Shaq's skills aren't what they use to be huh? It's funny that you are just starting to see now what Jerry Buss knew years ago. Buss was not about to give Shaq a $50 million dollar contract extension just to get fat during the off season and then miss part of the regular season for BS injuries because he is not in shape. This is the actual reason why the rift between Kobe and Shaq stated. Kobe told his fat ass to stay in shape during the off season, and Shaq did like the fact that Kobe called him out on it.
When Shaq got the message that Buss didn't want his ass anymore he wanted out. He gets to Miami and what was the very 1st thing that Pat Riley told him to do? Lose weight and stay in shape. Funny...thats was the same that that King Kobe tried to tell his ass, but because it came from Kobe, he didn't want to hear it.
Now look at the Heat. DWade is playing hurt and Shaq can't answer the call.

TELL IT!!!:nod: :nod:
That's because the Heat are playing a younger and hungrier team that is running them out of the gym. When you have to rely on an aging Walker, Payton and Mourning to win games, you are in trouble. People think the Bulls are too young to compete with the Heat, but when you look at both rosters you tell me who has the better overall talent right now.

It's mighty, mighty, mighty, mighty suspicious of you to mention talent when comparing the bulls and heat, but when it came to the talent nash has supporting him versus the talent Kobe has, you made like it didn't matter.
In fact you flat insisted that it didn't matter.
Now you say it does?:what: :what:
I don't want to make this into another pointless Lakers conversation. I was only responding to the point that was made about since D-Wade was not 100 that Shaq was doing nothing. The fact of the matter is, the Bulls have better talent than the Heat. But to compare the Bulls-Heat and Lakers-Suns is a worthless argument. Of course talent matters in the NBA, but Kobe, unlike Nash does not make his team better. The Lakers don't move the ball like the Suns or Bulls do. Everyone on the Lakers waits for Kobe to do something. Then when he does nothing, the Lakers offense goes down the drain. The Suns really have three really good players on their team and a bunch of role players. The Lakers have two really good players and a bunch of players that 24 does not trust.
JayRob

What? The suns have three? What happened to Barbosa, Bell and Diaw? Barbosa and Bell are not role players bruh.
The Lakers have two really good players? Odom is not a really good player. He's barely good.
You earn trust, it's not given to you on a silver platter.
Kobe's teammates have not earned trust because every time he trusts them, they FAIL to come through by continually missing WIDE OPEN SHOTS AND POINT BLANK LAYUPS.

Would you people stop it with this bullcrap about the weak @$$ lakers. To be real with you everyone needs to just give the Bulls credit these first too games they have really played hard as a TEAM, they have made the plays that they need to make and shot pretty good also. As long as they keep playing like this they really can make a run in the playoffs this year and I've been saying that!!!

Aw, shut the hell up? We can say what we wanta say.
We'll see if the bulls can win ONE road game in Miami. That'll tell the story.
