West is a good matchup on Kobe in regards to size and speed. He is the same size and has quick hands. That isnt to say that Kobe wont still score 35 but he will have to work for it and they will have Lebron match up with him as well to try to wear him down. Not to mention that if Kobe freelances on the defensive end West will bury the Lakers with open jumpers. Hard to believe that this guy couldnt get minutes in Seattle, he is a really good player.

imo Bynum is sitting around because the Lakers
are just running so much. They are pushing the
ball very hard. And that means running to get back on
D as well. Bynum is not ready for this type
of game. Gasol and Odom are much better suited
for this type of game.

What? Kobe is 6 6 205. west is 6 3 (in heels!) and 180. Same size? Besides, everyone knows Kobe is bothered more by length than speed on defense. Same speed? Whatever you say buddy.

I hope it is a Lakers - Cavs finals. Please baby Jesus let it happen so I can come back and laugh at this thread.

Everybody knows Kobe is bothered by length? Like who? Manute Bol? West is far closer to Kobe size and speed wise than you want to give him credit for. Shaq is listed at 290 too.

West is, by NBA standards, an undersized 2 guard at 6 3. A three inch height advantage is big...especially when it comes to guarding arguably the best player in the world.

length, like who? How about Tayshaun Prince? How about Rashard Lewis? Shaun marion? Those guys have at times done very well against Kobe. Even bigger physical guys have done well like artest or even pierce, who is very underrated defensively. Now when i say very well, I mean it relatively. Kobe will get his when he gets his no matter who is guarding him.

Smaller players he tends to eat alive because he can shoot over them so easily.

West did a very good job against Joe Johnson who is bigger than Kobe. While Johnson isn't Kobe he is an NBA allstar. I agree that stopping Kobe is not an option but West will make him work harder for his points than most and will also keep him honest at the other end. Kobe must have been sick the night Rashard Lewis gave him trouble.

Delonte West is going to keep Kobe Bryant honest? Delonte West? DELONTE WEST?????? And he will make him work harder than MOST? Who is most? I think may be talking about the cousin of Most named SOME.

Delonte West is a solid NBA player and he is having a good playoffs. Lets not confuse him with being anything but a role player though.

No way Doodlebug from Digable Planets can contain Kobe.

Delonte = Doodlebug. The rebirth of tardface.
