Wow..i got a hangover!!! alright..Shy Evil, m5, sunko lota...i can tell that none of u know anything about basketball..so shut the F*** up. i bet u guys havent even seen one single game this season....admit it!!! AX bro.. how bout 23 bouts in the first half? where was Bell in the first half if u think he is the one who stopped kobe in the 2nd half? u know very well..cause i m very sure u know the game of basketball. Kobe haters love days like this..when they loose..they open their F***** mouth so wide that its hard for them to shut it again. Still Returns had some valid points. Like he said, If kobe scores 40+ , people has problems, IF he scores in 20s, they still have problem. So no matter what, Kobe haters alwasys gonna hate kobe and they dont give a shit if he play like a true Warrior. U guys never gonna give credit to KObe for what he has done all season..i m not expecting that from kobe haters either....so i dont think it is necessary for me to try to convince u guys that kobe was trying to involve his teammates in 2nd half. Still Returns, i was really sad when WIZS lost.. Wiz is my home-team since there is no NBA team in Virginia...i cant believe Arenas missed both free throws..that was something unexpected>> and Damon Jones...damn....just like Tim Thomas....This is why we watch NBA PLAYOFFS..i guess....i m goin for MAVRICKS and the CLIPPERS . Knightcrawler...Dont worry bro... Lakers has done more than what everybody expected from them this season.They were figuring out the missin pieces until few last games of the regular season. KObe took a load in his shoulder and won so many games. Lakers will make some Major Changes next season. I guarantee all of you that Lakers will bring atleast 2 championship in Kobe Bryant Era..thats the word!!!
