To all you ppl saying Kobe's team never got blown out by 36 in an NBA Finals?

Your right haters Kobe's team did not get blown out by 36 in the Finals but KOBES TEAM DID LOSE BY 39 PTS in 2008 to Boston in game 6 of the FINALS 131–92. 131-92 = 39. And might i add that was Boston's clinching game to win the championship. Do your research first haters..

Update:

@LEON GIOVANNI yea yur right man i was just saying it to show haters that Kobe's team did get blown out even worse than what lebron's team did tonight. Well that was only game 3, while Kobe's team got beat in a elimination game. And it is not guaranteed that San Antonio will win the series with their game 3 win. Its favorable to SA now but its not guarateed. Plus ppl have to remember that the Heat do play WAY BETTER when the fall behind in a series with their backs against the wall and with all eyes on them exs.) 2012 Game 6 @ Boston Eastern Conference Finals, 2012 Game 7 vs Boston Eastern Conference Finals, 2013 Game 7 vs Indiana. I believe the Heat win this series in 6 theres no way the Spurs repeat their 3pt shooting again like they did in game 3. I said the Heat will go 2-1 in SA and im sticking to my prediction.

Update 2:

@Nas_ 4ever! Yea but like i said its NOT guaranteed SA will win this series just yet. IDc about if Kobe gave up or not. I just wanted to let ppl know that Kobe's team did get beat down just like LeBron's.

    its so irrelevant that James fans get mad at Kobe when he is not even playing for the Spurs. The man didnt even play in the playoffs. Why dont you look at time when the Spurs did bad or accuse how Duncan is not a great leader (which is I dont believe because he is a great captain)

    Seriously why do you Heat fans always turn in to Kobe when James messed up. No offense but Are LeBron fans really that stupid? Always looking for someone to blame. Kobe Bryant, Cleveland Cavaliers, Mike Brown, Delonte West, Antawn Jamison, Mo Williams, Wally Szczerbiak, Big Z, The state of Ohio, David Stern, Chris Bosh, Wade, Eric Spoelstra, Rashard Lewis playing time. I mean c'mon, we heard it all. Who's going to be next? Barrack Obama perhaps. Maybe Osama Binladen.

    Now LeBron left Cleveland complaining that he doesnt have support. Ok lets give it to him, even though thats not completely true. We'll let it slide. Two years after, with Wade and Bosh's help. What does James fans say now? "Ok lets trade Bosh he sucks." OR "Wade is injured OMG"

    Seriously... stop crying just stop.. Enough with the ridiculous and nonsense complains.

    FYI:

    Yes Laker fans do got mad at Celtics because they lost against the Celtics. And they hated the "Celtics" for that because the "Celtics" handed to them. I mean who wouldnt? Therefore its a legit thing for the Laker fans to get mad at the Celtics because the Cs beat the Lakers. They dont go around the world and say that its James fault they lost against Boston.

    ----->Its the Lakers and Celtics <----- Hate each other that 2 years

    -----> Spurs vs Heat <----- All of a sudden for some unknown reason Heat fans get mad at Kobe

    -__- weird... Sorry you dont make any sense

    Kobe took the Lakers in the playoffs playing along side Smush Parker, Kwame Brown and Luke Walton. Almost beat the Suns. Asked for help. Do you think that's a legit complain? Before you answer that question, put yourself in his shoes first. Imagine playing with Kwame Brown for a second and Smush Parker. Who would you rather have Brown or zydrunas ilgauskas? Mo Williams or Smush Parker. Yeah you get the point.

    Ok got Pau developed their chemistry together and won two championship in a row. Only need that one piece and won 2 championship in a row. Kobe > LeBron all day. If you still dont think so. Then I'm sorry that's your problem.

    the celtics were clearly the better team that year, and were favored to win also may i mention it was kobe and pau's first year together, he really only had gasol and won 2 rings with him so lets not jump to conclusions here bringing up something which quite frankly was expected and kobe played better than lebron played vs the spurs twice now and the mavericks in 2011(8 points) nothing against lebron personally but he seriously is a much different player when it comes to the finals..

  • 8 years ago

    True, but that was GAME 6. This is GAME 3. There is a big difference. Statistically (I'm no certain of this) 92% of teams that win game 3 in the Finals go on to win the championship. With the series being tied 1-1 prior to today, I expected LeBron and/or D Wade to come up big and score 30+ today. In Kobe's case, truthfully after game 4 (where they blew that big lead) he simply gave up on his team. He probably knew that he couldn't win 3 games in a row with two being back in Boston. So you can't really compare.

    Who cares? Lebron is the best player is the MVP. There's no reason why he should be averaging only 17 points in the finals. This is where the greats establish themselves. It seperates the good from the greats. The greats from the hall of famers. He's not clutch. I just don't see the fire. Everyone likes to compare him to MJ but mike was a clutch perofrmer. He took backseat to no one. If he did have a bad day scoring, he was the best defender on the floor. Lebron is shooting a terrible percentage and he's an average defender at best

    why do lebron fans always go straight to kobe anytime he loses? Kobe isnt relevant to this in any way....

    plus, only a couple guys said that in that question earlier...it doesnt mean all laker fans dont know about 2008

    at least they got them back in 2010 tho if lebron losses this series to the spurs this will be his 2nd time and not only that but he had an excuse in clevland but not now he has two all stars on his team and are the defending champs so theres no excuse this time around.
