Knicks · Are the Cavaliers and Hawks are better then the Lakers ? (page 1)

These two eastern conference lightweight teams put up a better fight and showed more heart than the soft team in LA. The Lakers seem to be so overrated by the media, say if they were located anywhere else but Hollywood they wouldn't get half the press that they do now.
The Lakers = Hillary Clinton. They thought that they were entitled to the get the ring just because thats what everyone else was telling them. LOL

Lakes went 6 games vs. seven.
The colapse game was the kicker, but if lakes win that the series goes 7.
Game 6 was an asswooping for sure, but Lakes did well during the regular season.
I think making the finals and going 6 is no easy task.

I don't think you guys can conclude if a team is better than the other just by how they played vs another team. I think Boston took the Hawks lightly and struggled with them. Cleveland is a good team and they might be better than the Lakers thats a given because in the course of the year I think cleveland won both meetings vs Lakers. Boston struggled vs the Lakers its just the Lakers are Euro soft. But make no excuses the EC is a better conference than the WC. Its tougher to win games in the EC hence their poor records. I still think the most powerful team in the WC is the Spurs, the rest are all pretenders. They have fat records but Cleveland is better than all of them.

Lakers did take out Denver, Utah, And the Spurs
Atl was a good matchup vs Celtics, I think they would have gotten stomped out vs LA Spurs would have gave Celtics all they could handle in the finals too Lebron is better then Kobe because of his size, Kobe is a more talented player though
That game 4 24pt collapse finished them

One thing I learned was this. The Atlanta Hawks ran on the celitics and that's why they took them to the brink. PHIL JACKSON HAS EUROS WHO DON'T KNOW HOW TO RUN EFFECTIVELY LIKE THE ATHLETIC HAWKS DID AGAINST BOSTON.
That was the difference. sasha , gasol, radmonovich

they don't teach running on the plantation, only at Duke.

Even though he's a frenchmen Ronie Turiaf played at Gonzaga and got his toughness and knew how to run.

lakers had enough heart and euros to come out of the west w/o bynum. they just couldn't get past the best team in the nba (by far) in boston.

No, those teams aren't betterm although I think Lebron is better than Kobe.

Why because he passes better than kobe ? LOL
Let kobe and Lebron switch teams, does cleveland beat boston or does LA beat boston .

what makes lebron a more imposing force is his physical stature. celtics had nobody that could guard him since he's bigger than pierce.
if lebron was on LA, they put up a much better fight, that's for sure.

If Lebron was on the Lakers in place of Kobe then I can honestly say that the Lakers would have beaten the Celtics.

I think that the Lakers would have crushed both Clevland and Atlanta. Boston defeinetely shouldn't have had a s much trouble with either team. They played like crap untill the Detroit series. So the Boston team that got pushed to the brink early on was not the same team. Additionally, Ray Allen suddenly found his game after not contributing anything up untill the Finals.

Doc Rivers would have played the same junk defense on Lebron that they did with Kobe.
Posey would have played Lebron a lot too to try and slow him down, but the problem with the Fakers is the euro connection along with Farmer couldn't get it done to free up Kobe more, like they did in all the other series.

If MJ didn't have a supporting cast , even with the phantom calls he wouldn't have won either.
