Official 2011-2012 Playoff thread

You guys are missing the point again.
Robert made 23 game winners, won 7 rings.
Michael made 23 game winners, won 6 rings.
Who was better ?
So if that question is completely stupid, why is it that when everyone talks about Kobe and LJ the number of rings gets a mention every time. If LJ never wins a ring he is still a great player, better than Kobe. Yes, in some ways, as a finisher, NO. Wade is the finisher in Miami.

Contact, and then flopping isn't to bad. But Boozer pushed Horry, wow. No contact at all, give me a link to a bigger flop and I'll watch it. No soccer games either, lol.
I also agree that the Clippers are becoming floppers, Stern needs to act. It gets worse every year. CP3 is a flopper. Flopping doesn't work come finals, and LA are seeing that.

It would be interesting if it was up to date :(
Heres an interesting playoff only clutch chart since 2000, but Lebron isn't clutch and has no killer instinct ;)

Wrong! YOU are missing the point!
No one has said that Horry was BETTER than MJ! We said he was a great of the game though!

Lebron is not a better player than Kobe over their careers, currently? Yes, but not overall!

I agree with you on the Horry flop, but every team will have a bad flop in their history, but my problem is that, like you, people tarnish a whole team because a couple of incidents, and can't let it go!

I'm lost:crazy:
 
The number of rings does not make one great, Robert Horry.
MJ wasn't a physically gifted as many players, but the game has changed. MJ's mental can't be measured. He lifted in June like no other.
Did a Spurs fan say FLOP ? Should I point at Robert again ? Not to mention the rest, but CP3 has always been a flopper. And it seems he has taken all of his talents to LA.
Looks like Miami isn't going to do it without Bosh, good coaching by the Pacers.

The number of rings DOES reflect the TRUE GREATNESS of a great player!! MJ, bill Russell and Kobe, for starters wouldn't be held in as high regard as they are if they weren't multiple championship winner. Rings are the difference between being a legend I the game and just a great player. Lebron is an absolute beast on the court, but he fails in every possible way of being a truly great player that gets those around him up and going and a player that can win a game, when it matters most, on his own shoulders!!!!
 
The misconceptions about his clutchness are ridiculous. Pretty sure most of the guys who see him as a choker have only watched him since he joined Miami.

True mate!

I have formed my own opinion from what I have seen, but you are right, most of the times I have watched him were at Miami!

Maybe I need to change my tune to 'he needs to get it back!' not 'he needs to learn it'! ;)
 
Fact:
Robert Horry Has 23 Game Winning Shots!!!!

Wow great stat.

And Tagged, no one said Horry is better than Jordan because of the amount of rings. I was gonna add that but did'nt feel the need as only an absolute moron would make that call. But the greats are all judged on winning in the clutch of big games.
 
Very good win by the Lakers, Bynum struggled throughout.

Kobe at the line was the difference, they keep him off it and they win.

Free throw shooting the whole game was excellent. Lakers got to 28/28 before the missed one (they tied the playoff record for makes without a miss).

OKC still take poor shots down the stretch. Westbrook jacked a 3 when there was no need and his jumpshot was on all game. Harden went for a jumpshot when he had been killing them on the drive.

Looking forward to game 4, I'm gonna predict an OKC win. Kobe had to do ALOT of work today to get them the win.
 
The city of L.A must be buzzing right now. There's two playoff series in town in the 2nd round. Plus there's the Hockey and some other stuff I think. Would be awesome to be there.
