    an assist is pretty clutch if you ask me...

    ask michael jordan as he passed up a shot to win not ONE but TWO nba champinoships. so mj isnt clutch for making the winning pass to john paxson? :rolleyes:

    There are fans like that for any team, Rox included. But that doesn't apply for me. Clippy is behaving like a Foster child nowadays. Maybe it's time for him to move on and worship another team.

    You better get your head checked, that's not me. I'd rate Kobe top 5 of all time if he gets this one, but far from GOAT.

    No, I stick with the teams I love and hate. Unlike you, I don't just move on when they are losing. And we never see you whine because you only ever show up in these forums when your team wins, so you can gloat. That makes you a major p***y. Look that up in your Google translate you ignorant POS (look that up too).

    You mean you'd rate him:

    1st-Kobe
    2nd-Kobe
    3rd-MJ
    4th-Kobe
    5th-Kobe

    right?

    Your team is an adopted child and you are behaving like one. Constantly whining and crying no matter what. Nothing can make you happy. Only attacking a fan on internet can get your some comfort. If you don't know how a loser is defined, look no further than the mirror.

    And no, I don't write perfect English. But good enough to get my points across and it seems I am all over your head. I feel sorry for you.

    Not really. I honestly don't know WTF you are saying half the time. Your English is really bad even for an ESL student. Maybe spend some time in school during your breaks from the message boards (when the Fakers lose and you go in hiding).

    LOL, we'll see who's gonna hide after this game.
    BTW, when you have to rely on racist comments to help your argument, you've got your ass handled.

    I'll be here, win or lose. You'll only be here if the Lakers win. That's the definition of a frontrunner. You can argue all you want but you've already shown your behavior during the playoffs.

    And it isn't racist to make fun of stupid people.

    I am here to talk about basketball, you are here to trash fans of teams you dislike. That's the difference.

    Of course you are gonna be here. If Celtics lose this game, you are gonna credit refs. We can see that from a mile away. You are such a loser in real life that you have to trash people on cyberworld to get comfort. It's only worse you are proud of that.

    First-hand experience isn't reliable? :confused: You don't need detailed stats to know who scares the crap out of you and who doesn't when they have the ball in a tight situation.

    The clutch plays were by the guys who made the shots. The only thing that makes the play great is the guy making the shot. Had he missed it no one would be talking about the pass at all. Hitting a wide open man is a nice play, especially if the shot is made, but that doesn't make it particularly clutch. If that guy was wide open it was because the defense chose to leave the guy open - that's what they wanted to happen. All the pressure then is on the guy to actually make the shot.

    I pretty much already addressed this with my previous post. Those plays may or may not be difficult to make, but just looking at the box score and seeing an assist won't tell you that. Kicking to a wide open man may be exactly what the defense wanted you to do. However, as far as it taking balls to trust a teammate with the last shot - that would depend on whether or not the guy actually wanted to take the shot himself or not. Many guys carry the label of superstar that have no interest in taking a big shot and are more than happy to leave it up to someone else to do it for them. McGrady for example.

    Unless those are strictly playoff stats I don't see how they're relevant. But anyway, I guess those stats prove that there's no difference b/t having Bryant and James at the free throw line to decide a season? Is that what you're saying?

    "passed". Nice. Perhaps ESL classes for you too?

    I've been here after every game, BTW.

    LOL, so you have difficulties to understand people here. You need to take ESL serious this time.
