Wow that last play was sick. Only KOBE can hit a shot like that falling down with 1 second on the clock.

I picked the Cavs, but Kobe's ability to raise his game in the big moments might be the best. Then again, he does tend to cruise during the early portions of the game compared to LeBron or Wade, so maybe he has more energy to take over in the latter portions of the game.

Here are the top 4th quarter scorers this season, per 36 minutes. I thought this was an interesting list:

Team   Player     Gm   Min/qtr  Fgm    3pm   Ftm    Reb   Ast    T/o   Blk   Stl   Pts   Ast'd    TS%
LAL    Bryant     68    7.7     11.0   2.1   10.0   6.1   4.2   2.8   0.5   1.4   34.0   25%    0.562
CLE    James      67    8.7     10.0   1.8   10.1   8.3   7.1   3.3   1.2   1.7   32.0   23%    0.600
MIA    Wade       75    8.6     10.2   1.5   8.8    3.8   6.7   2.5   1.7   2.1   30.8   16%    0.553
NOH    Paul       72    9.4     9.0    1.1   8.5    5.0   8.4   3.4   0.0   3.1   27.2   13%    0.628
POR    Roy        67    9.3     9.0    1.5   7.5    5.0   5.0   1.5   0.4   1.2   27.0   27%    0.624
IND    Granger    63    10.1    8.5    2.8   6.9    6.0   1.8   2.5   1.4   0.7   26.6   54%    0.576
SAS    Parker     59    8.2     9.6    0.2   6.0    3.9   6.1   2.6   0.0   0.9   25.4   20%    0.574
NJN    Harris     59    9.0     6.9    1.0   9.3    3.6   7.2   3.2   0.4   1.6   24.4   21%    0.551
GSW    Crawford   46    9.5     7.3    2.3   7.3    3.8   4.2   2.7   0.4   0.8   24.3   42%    0.619
DEN    Anthony    52    7.8     7.5    1.3   6.9    8.3   1.8   2.8   0.5   1.4   23.6   50%    0.538

Let's compare that to the 1st quarter top 10:

Team   Player     Gm   Min/qtr  Fgm    3pm   Ftm    Reb   Ast     T/o   Blk   Stl   Pts   Ast'd    TS%
DAL    Howard     52    10.6    10.4   1.6   3.5    5.1   2.0    1.4   0.7   0.7   25.8   55%    0.530
ORL    Howard     79    10.4    9.5    0.0   6.5    15.3  1.4    2.8   4.2   1.4   25.7   47%    0.596
CLE    James      81    11.8    9.2    1.3   5.6    7.3   7.0    2.4   1.5   1.5   25.3   41%    0.628
MIA    Wade       79    11.1    9.6    0.3   4.9    4.2   6.5    3.6   0.7   1.6   24.4   30%    0.558
SAC    Martin     51    10.4    7.0    1.7   7.4    2.8   3.8    2.8   0.0   1.4   23.6   60%    0.642
MIL    Redd       33    10.9    8.4    2.2   4.4    3.0   2.6    1.3   0.0   1.3   23.4   57%    0.606
OKC    Durant     74    11.2    8.9    1.0   4.0    6.7   2.9    2.2   0.3   1.3   23.1   50%    0.549
PHO    Stoudemire 53    11.2    8.6    0.0   4.7    8.4   1.6    2.9   1.6   1.0   22.3   59%    0.622
DEN    Anthony    66    10.9    8.5    0.7   4.5    6.9   4.3    3.6   0.7   1.3   22.1   44%    0.528
LAL    Bryant     82    11.3    8.4    0.7   4.3    5.4   5.1    2.2   0.3   1.6   22.0   44%    0.560

Check out that difference in Kobe's 1st quarter and 4th quarter scoring. Also how the top scorers tend to go more one on one in the 4th (Ast'd is percentage of made field goals assisted). There are two bigs in the best 1st quarter scorers list (Dwight Howard, Amare Stoudemire), but none in the 4th quarter.

I hated Kobe but i have followed lakers alot simply because in SE Asian region they always show Lakers game on TV

I do noticed Kobe always cruise in the first 3 qtrs then take over in the 4th simply because he had Shaq back then. Example? Remember the lakers vs magic Kobe and Tmac shootouts games? T-mac scored alot of his points in the first 3 qtr whereas lakers' relied on Shaq. Then in the fourth, when T-mac was tired Kobe took over. The lakers won and of cause the media raved Kobe defense on T-mac on the 4th. Well T-mac was tired carrying the team whereas kobe had shaq to play hero.

When Shaq left the lakers, kobe obvious hit less clutch shots during the 3 years period where kobe basically had to carry the whole team. If possible some one can pull this data and compare.

Then when lakers got Gasol, kobe basically back to his cruise control mode because he knows he got some one to rely on for the first 36minutes again!

I wonder...

I wonder if Boozer will go to Alaska and do some hunting with Sarah Palin now that his season is over.

I wonder if Korver will meet up with his clan of elves.

I wonder if Okur and Kirilenko will rent a place with a private beach to do whatever those two guys do...

I wonder if Harpring will practice his flopping so he can extend his career another season.

I wonder if any player that stays in Utah during the offseason will go insane because they are staying in Utah during the offseason.

I wonder if Sloan will continue to perfect that drugged out look on his face.

I wonder if Jazz fans will finally realize how much they suck. Yea, that's not gonna happen.

On one hand I'm happy that the Jazz are one and done; on the other hand I know that the Rockets will not beat this Lakers team barring some miracle.

Lakers = Blazers + defense + low post + high pace + Phil Jackson + experience.

The key to crushing the Jazz is making them pay for their poor defense. The Rockets have never been able to do that consistently. No problem for the Lakers.

Millsap with a 9-0 run by himself. I hope some team gives him a lavish contract so the jazz can't match. He is a stud.
