... Defensively. Of course they are also good ofensively, but I was referring to the defense. Size is everything defensively, go tell to Pierce (yes, his 2-11 is not thanks to Artest D, but thanks to Bynum+Pau).
Slightly? LA has a double FT advantage, all of their bigs are in foul trouble and Gasol has like 1 or 2. With that being said, Boston is doing plenty to blow the game on their own.
kobe has had many situations where he operated in the MIDDLE of the court, including that 3pt play earlier. so no, it's stupid coaching right now. sure kobe isn't have a great game, but he's kobe bryant. you give him some respect. they're like daring kobe to win this game.
paul pierce is 2-11. that's a shut down. artest has been shutting down a lot of guys in this year's playoffs. give the guy respect. he sucks offensively though.
at first i thought that was obviously off kg, but it was closer than i thought. well, on that angle it clearly was only kg's hand on the ball because gasol's hand was behind kg's hand. woah, wait they kept the call?
Any other situation from preseason through the last game of The Finals, and that would have been a foul.
