doesn't seem like the Kobe system is not working out for you very well, is it?

Kobe is a great player but he does hog and hurt his team sometimes(a-lot of the time) if he get it to the bigs they will be a better offensive team. You don't have to go Kobe crazy every time Clippers aren't 100% or Kobe goes off for 40. He's a human being just like you only difference is he make a living with a ball in his hand.

Fact of live: Sh*t happens. KD and Rose has good nights and bad ones.Both may never get a ring even thought they are great players. Reggie Miller, Karl Malone, Charles Barkley,and John Stockton are a few of the best to never attain a ring.

P.S. Kobe isn't perfect even though he has 5.

kobe does take some stupoid shots sometimes, and yes he should feed bynum and gasol more. But you can't blaqme him though i'll live and die with the ball in his hand if i'm da lakrez. and they got a winnin record so i'm not tripppin

Its giving us a winning record. What team do you go 4?

Im from OKC....Thunder fan of course.

So Lakers and Clippers are tied. How is that eye test working out for you?

In my opinion the Clippers are still better, but its much closer then it was before after they Lost C. Billups.

Yeah. Clippers are a young team. They have a future. The Kobe days are gone in 2-3 seasons. Gasol will be about 33 at that time,and be the new leader. After he retires,Bynum and the rookies are taking over,and I garuntee they wont be bright. Clippers. 2 potential MVP's. Griffing,a young PF/C that takes the ball to the rim,and scores,with rebounding skills. CP3,a gaurd who shoots when he wants to score,and he scores. In my opinion,the clipers are good in the gaurd position,but have one some of the worst backup PF/C's.

They have Kenyon Martin. He was a starter for Denver last year and can still ball. Plus you dont need that much depth if your team is good enough. OKC proves that.

^True^ thats why Clipps are getting better,and are already better than the lakes.

First of all the Thunder have more depth than anyone in the league...Best 10 man rotation in the league, even without Maynor. Sefalosha is a big hit, but once he gets back you won't find a deeper team. Does that mean they will win the 'ship? Maybe/Maybe not.

@Hoosier, LAC is a game up as I type this, but I will admit the Clippers are hurting without Billups. I would say it's a toss-up at this point after the last month has gone by. The Lakers seem to have gotten past the trade rumors and their D was paramount in their win against the Heat today. At the time, the Clippers were clearly the better team, hence LAL going 4-6 in a 10 game stretch. Right now, not so much. Will be interesting to see who wins that division.

I will be the first to point out that an elite PG hasn't won a championship since the Pistons in 89-'90. Cassell was decent for the rockets and Parker was decent for the spurs, but he was not the PG he is today when they won championships. Last year J-Kidd won, but he is not elite anymore either. When the Celtics won, Rondo was definitely not even close to what he is today and was not elite at the time. The only one I have considered is Billups with the Pistons. He was an all-star that season if I'm not mistaken and was in his prime. He also hit big shots. You get my point though. In my opinion this bodes well for the Lakers, but I still don't think they have enough to even get to the finals.
