Lakers at the moment doesnt have the necessary horses to make a run.  But this is a proud franchise, and Jerry Buss is getting old......he wont let Kobe's prime years be wasted.......it wont be long...they'll get someone.....

Huh? What do you mean? It was a well-documented feud that happened during the LAker's championship reign. Remember, even Jackson wasn't too fond of Kobe.

But those were petty. They were able to settle their differences and got 2 more golds. It was after the 3-peat that things went ugly.

Even his family. Very dark chapter in Kobe's life.

Nah dude. There was a rift between the two stars already when they started winning championships. They were just trying to play through it and be a pro about it on court.

Kobe's personal life wouldn't be so put in the negative if he played the kiss-the-ass-of-the-press game. The only fault he has is that he was almost zero in PR.

So, all of a sudden they couldn't be pro about it anymore and not win a 4th?

Toronto even the series against the New Jersey. 89-83

Bulls win again 107-89. 2-0 up going to Miami.

You make it sound like winning an NBA championship is that easy to do. I guess there's no arguing your basketball logic.  ::)

nah, the lakers-reloaded before were simply outmatched by detroit's unselfish teamwork. pistons is an elite team, everyone should know it by now. i dont like them but they deserve every respect

See, even an alleged elite team (my apologies to Detroit fans, but they weren't all that IMHO) like the 2004 Detroit Pistons couldn't repeat as champs, which made every repeat champions' feat no small thing.

i believe the fued between shaq & kobe started during their 2nd title and erupted more during their 3rd.  they were just professional about it because they were winning.  the worst was during the time malone & payton joined the team.  at first it distracted the whole team.  but when they started winning, medyo lay low a bit.  however they failed to defend their crown.

and with losing comes bickering na....lumabas na ang lahat ng sama ng loob.  losing does that.  it just escalated when they lost to the pistons in the finals.

as for the pistons...they were clearly the better team during that finals that they won...but i don't consider them an elite team...with chauncy billups the only remote possibility landing in the hall of fame.

but teamwork was proven to be better than superstars that time.

I'd pick Ben Wallace over Billups as possible HOF candidate.

I didn't say it's easy to repeat. You assumed I did. And it's especially more difficult to repeat if your 2 top players are feuding.

i hope the bulls sweep the heat, but very unlikely. because the pistons looks like it'll end the series 4-0, and will have a lot of rest

I'd pick Ben Wallace over Billups as possible HOF candidate.

i agree, of all the detroit players before he's the only one i like. but big ben has been a disappointment this regular season. i hope he'll be back in form as the playoffs goes on

Yes because the 4th try next season, it was obvious that they need another scorer, coz it showed that the Shaq-Kobe tandem wasnt that lethal anymore.  When they reloaded the next season with Malone and Payton, the three things that did them in if you can remember, first, Detroit's superior play, especially their stingy defense.   Malone, not being able to play healthy (reinjured knee in Western Finals), and inablity of Payton to contain Billups and his inability to shoot from long range.  IMO, even if Shaq and Kobe coexisted peacefully...it will still be difficult to win the fourth under those conditions.

Miami is in BIG trouble..  Has a defending champion ever been bumped off in the first round of the NBA playoffs?  On the other hand, Chicago is turning out to be a serious contender (for the East title at least). 
We deserve better.

Next up is Detroit, if ever Chicago wins.  Meanwhile, Cleveland has an easier path to the Conference finals against the winner of the Nets-Raptor series.

One game at a time, that's how Miami should treat their series.  Still doable but historically no one has done it yet.

Yeah but dont count NJ nets in case they will win over Raptors,with the way Jason Kidd and Vince Carter playing and add Richard jefferson,once this trio clicks,Nets is also capable winning over the Cavs.

Nellie's boys are eating Avery's defense alive. It'll be interesting to see the two Finals contenders last year to fall in the first round.

Good point!  But possibly facing New Jersey is an easier route as opposed to facing either the Pistons or the Bulls.
