Free Choice Blog about Kobe and Lebron and the playoffs

Well I think that the playoffs will come down to the Cavs and the Lakers because Kobe is returning to his old self from his finger injury. Without Kobe the Lakers will not win the playoffs because nobody can score like he can nor can anybody run the Lakers like Kobe can. Over the years the Lakers have improved all around, but I believe they’re going to have to improve their team even more because Kobe can’t hold the Lakers up for much longer due to his age (32). When Kobe retires unless the Lakers find another All-Star or become a much better team then they won’t be playoff material.
Now the Cavs are the best all around team because not only their starters can perform when they need them to, but the bench is always ready to jump in the game to increase the lead. The Cavs starters are always up and moving trying to get open and can create shots when its need. They also have post men that just dominate the paint at all times offensively and defensively. Their strongest weapon on the Cavs is Lebron James of coarse because everything there is to do that involves scoring or making a stop he’s athletic enough and confident enough to get the job done. If you ask someone what Lebron can’t do I’m sure they’ll have to take time to think about that question because he can do everything there is in basketball. Another great trait about the Cavs is the fact that if Lebron is having an off game or if the main game plan of the defense is to lock him up and double team him then he has many other players he can pass to that can take the responsibility of scoring.
For the Lakers Kobe doesn’t have many players that he can just pass to and expect a basket from. I think that’s why he shoots a lot not only because he’s self conscious about his stats, but he feels more comfortable doing the job himself to make sure it gets done. Phil Jackson wants Kobe to work with his team more, but if he’s averaging up to thirty-two points a game in the playoffs and is averaging up to forty-six percent from the field then he better just let Kobe take over the game. Financial wise for the NBA association having the Cavs and Lakers play each other in the finals will sell many tickets and send payments through roof just to see Kobe and Lebron face off.
