Finals Matchup (ft. Boston Zach Mufson)

7:43:40 PM Z. Mufson: didnt see orlando coming
7:43:56 PM Z. Mufson: i saw brett bold yesterday, we were reminiscing about fiesta
8:36:41 PM Alex Rochestie: i did actually. stan van is my favorite coach in the league right now and they have a lot of great players plus d white is just ridiculous.
8:36:53 PM Alex Rochestie: they are scary but the lakers will take it in 6 or less
8:37:05 PM Z. Mufson: yea i think kobe will not be stoppped
8:37:26 PM Z. Mufson: and i dont see them being able to stop gasol
8:37:37 PM Z. Mufson: and i like your length to match up cuz like odom is huge too
8:38:04 PM Alex Rochestie: yeah they also have no bigs besides howard which helps out alot.
8:38:25 PM Z. Mufson: gore-tot
8:38:27 PM Z. Mufson: haha
8:38:35 PM Z. Mufson: plus hedu and lewis are both 6'10 +
8:39:02 PM Alex Rochestie: true but they are more perimeter players.
8:39:14 PM Z. Mufson: yea def
8:39:19 PM Z. Mufson: im just sayin they are so big
8:39:47 PM Alex Rochestie: most importantly they have nobody for kobe and our supporting cast has been stepping up big. that plus the 232 format means another banner for LA
8:39:58 PM Z. Mufson: yea DEFINITELY
8:40:12 PM Z. Mufson: kobe is not letting this one slip away
8:40:21 PM Z. Mufson: and with a title he instantly becomes top 10 player of all time
8:40:32 PM Z. Mufson: maybe top 5
8:41:15 PM Z. Mufson: plus no one will be able to say he coudlnt win without another superstar
8:41:16 PM Alex Rochestie: hmm... haven't calculated those circumstances but i like it...
8:41:24 PM Alex Rochestie: haha
8:41:31 PM Z. Mufson: yea i mean i think winning a title without shaq is huge for him
8:41:40 PM Alex Rochestie: i don't know. the lakers have a legit all-star team man.
8:41:48 PM Z. Mufson: kinda
8:41:55 PM Z. Mufson: odom is a career underachiever
8:42:00 PM Z. Mufson: gasol is soft
8:42:04 PM Alex Rochestie: i mean gasol is probably the best or second best PF in the game right now
8:42:05 PM Z. Mufson: who else is all star?
8:42:21 PM Z. Mufson: i mean id still rather have KG
8:42:50 PM Alex Rochestie: that would be the one I'd take but i'd take gas over tim duncan
8:43:03 PM Z. Mufson: i dunno
8:43:17 PM Z. Mufson: i think you still gotta give timmy the nod
8:43:29 PM Z. Mufson: also gasol needs to have a huge finals before i think you can really say hes that nasty
8:43:39 PM Z. Mufson: i mean he has never really done anything for a winning team until this year
8:44:11 PM Alex Rochestie: tim duncan has a better career no doubt but this year... kg is out and duncan is the second best player on a team that hasn't done too much
8:44:42 PM Z. Mufson: i think this finals will define where gasol stands
8:44:51 PM Z. Mufson: if he dominates then i give him the nod
8:45:01 PM Z. Mufson: but i still wouldnt call LA an all star team
8:45:02 PM Alex Rochestie: he definitely still has things to prove
8:45:06 PM Z. Mufson: kobe is just that nasty
8:45:13 PM Z. Mufson: i LOVE kobe tho hahah
8:46:14 PM Alex Rochestie: he is THE Man
8:47:04 PM Z. Mufson: with that said, if KG was healthy, we would be in the finals against you and i think it would be a good matchup
8:47:12 PM Z. Mufson: and i really think we coulda won it again
8:49:28 PM Alex Rochestie: possibly. a lot of elements to say otherwise though.... bynum, ariza for us. no house or posey or powe, etc. for you. home court advantage.... still "never underestimate the heart of a champion" would've def been my choice of finals
8:49:45 PM Alex Rochestie: it just gets no better than lakers celtics finals
8:50:10 PM Z. Mufson: i think were gonna get ariza this offseason
8:50:28 PM Z. Mufson: yea its true, lakers celts is the best
8:50:37 PM Z. Mufson: i hate lebron too, so im so glad he choked haha
8:50:41 PM Alex Rochestie: he's an LA boy that went to UCLA so i hope he stays
8:50:50 PM Z. Mufson: tru very very tru
