From this I am to take that your belief is if the Lakers were a better
defensive team they would have won the championship.

***********************************************************

Well that would be a rather silly conclusion, huh? I simply disagreed the
Lakers D was "good enough". It sucked. Plain and simple. They were a bad
defensive during the season - before and after Gasol, and during the
playoffs. Those are just the facts.

It's all you can talk about since anything else forces you to face your own
hypocrisy.

Bryant is bitter too. He is deeply bitter that I threw his own words in his
face. So all he can do now is call me names. It's all he has left.

Stupid comments like this just shows you are not capable of paying
attention. You missed the point entirely but thanks for giving it a go
anyways.

I'm beginning to lose faith in C-Trolls. Ok, plain and simple you
state the Lakers defense "sucked". Lakers beat Celtics
twice..gasp..how did that happen? Did they score like 1000 points or
something because their defense sure must of been sucking those games
too? My point and again..sigh..having to explain the obvious was that
the Lakers defense should have been good enough to at least be
competitive if not beat the Celtics in this series. Defense was NOT
the main reason the Lakers lost the series. Your blow out game
six..remember...? 14-2 I bet you know what those numbers are.
Offensive rebounds..that's right..and guess how many the Lakers had in
the first half...? 0! while shooting something like in the 20%
range..I'm not drawing pictures so once again..cya.
