my goodness, what in the world is that left hand hook shot from lebron? in fact, forget just lebron. every damn time i see wade, kobe, or lebron shoot up some awkward looking left-handed floater or hook that hardly ever goes in i can't believe it. it's like they're just trying something out and it seems clear every time that even when it goes in it's basically luck. you've all got about 10 different moves that are better than a left-handed hook/shotput type shot. stop shooting it. kobe a crazy 8-10 in the 1st quarter and the lakers size definitely seems to be giving the heat problems on the offensive end.
Not talking about that. He grabbed a rebound over 3 Lakers, dribbled the ball to the other end and scored a dunk running between 3 Lakers. That one simple play was pretty spectacular in my eyes. He did it all by himself.
well lebron got an early foul so it probably wouldn't be good to risk getting him in foul trouble. plus, so far kobe doesn't have any layups i don't think. forcing kobe to take jumpers, even relatively good ones is like the coach in "remember the titans" said about the veer offense - "it's like novocaine, give it time and it always works." kobe usually falls falls back to earth on him jumpers. and if he doesn't, well then i guess you lose. but lebron will probably guard him at some point.

Kobe is making jumpshots. He's on a good roll right now. But he's a 43% shooter this season for a reason. He'll cool down.
I stand corrected. You are correct. Wilt had a 20-20-20 game. A more complete list of 15-15-15 games compiled when Kidd last did it:
Goude!!! The guy has always been just ridiculous. In the conference tourney there was no one else on that team. He had to keep hitting 3pt from like 30+ ft out before the double team would get there just to keep his team in the game.
Playoff style basketball today, boys. Both teams rested and every possession of prime importance. Very little fast break and plenty of hammering in the paint. Very, very physical and the Lakers size is showing. This is Exhibit A
