Until the 2nd half yes they didIm not worried because the celtics wont get the contribution they got from cassell and pj the rest of the series, kobes gonna bounce back, Pierce isnt gonna make a 4 point play and hit 2 back to back 3's to spark the C's ever again. All we gotta do is steal one on the road and its a wrap the celtics play s**tty on the road yes I know they beat the pistons twice but the pistons werent 100% and there not the lakers. Im stickin to what I said before the series started Lakers in 6.
More like this1.Jordan2.Kobe3.Magic4.Kareem5.Russelldont get me wrong but back in like the late 60's 70's era bball was played way different its much harder to be great in todays game because theres so much talent thats why my top five excluding Bill Russell are all 80's and up era players.
Please see the reality : kobe is not that incredible and he's a bit overrated. He's one of the top players but not out-of-this-world, he has all shots open whenever he wants from his teammates, in this league where defense decreased over the years. Compare the defense now, to what Jordan had to experience...And see how Pierce is more decisive than him on the finals. I don't know who's best but I wouldn't say you can't compare Pierce and Kobe.you can remove some players from my list maybe, but add another few there...
