Phurba, I disagree with every points you have made except the last point. Why?? It doesn't matter how much Kobe scored, rather it matters how well his team mates play. It was their game plan to go inside with some big guys with Odom and Brown because they knew that they are gonna double team Kobe. It's not true that he didn't play good just because looking at the points he scored, but look at the points scored by his teammates. For e.g - Odom had 21,14 including 3 assists. Look Walton, have you ever seen him playing that good? And what about the supporting roles from Parker and Brown? Moreover, Kobe had 5 offen rebound and 5 assists. C'mon man, look at the statistics. I don't think Kobe is playing bad. and I don't think they will be knocked out in Game 4, rather Suns will have pretty hard time to get into the 2nd round. And what you about 7-25 for James's performance today in Game 2. He is the one who had 10 TOs. Is he playing good? I don't think so. And you believe it or not, Spurs will go all way to the NBA final. Just be patient!
