Yes, they were first, then Bynum went down and they lost a few games in a row. I never mentioned how they sucked, or they were not playing well. When the made the trade with gasol, that made them that much better, period. If you can't see that, then you are an absoulte fool. They had the best record out of anyone that made the big trades, so right there show cases how good Gasol has helped them out. I honestly don't believe they would have won the divison or had the best record in the West if it wasn't for Gasol. Hell, when he got hurt those few games, they started to lose games.
Who said me knowing more than the experts?
Also when Bron played Kobe this year, he made him look a fool, just FYI. Those games had huge hype as well.
I agree Kobe's defense is better, but not much better. When you go down the stats Bron's numbers are better, period. He has done just as much for his team than Kobe has for his team. Cleveland don't have any other All stars to back up on like the Lakers do now in Gasol.
When it comes down to it anyway, I think Chris Paul should have won it. I mean shit, what was New Orleans record last year? He has come into his own and I think they have what it takes to win a championship. They are surprising a lot of people, me included.
Also I laugh at Kobe being a good leader. Yeah, was so hyped up about this year when he didn't get the help he wanted. Don't you remember any of that shit? Yeah, great team leader there.
