you can't keep blaming all the other guys for the loss, after all it is kobe's team,and in a playoff game u can;t blame anyone else but kobe, kobe's got to know when to take over and when to pass well that game was obviously wasn't it, the suns were fired up dude, even the raja bell suspension, every game they have new guys stepping up like barbosa yesterday, the suns have their hands full the next round with the clippers but thumbs up for nash and co. i can;t believe the lakers lost after being 3-1 up, even the momentum was on their side, and they clearly didn't take that advice, i give it to kobe that he is a prolific scorer, but i'd rather take lebron or wade who give a 110% every time they're on court, anyways happy playoffs guys, mavs spurs tonight, it's going to be intresting to see how the pistons will shut down lebron. the pistons are too good, too much fire power.
