You dont have to over analyze this series.... I think the supporting cast for Kobe was missing a lot of open shots in the beginning of the series, and towards the end, their confidence was shot and they stopped even attempting to shoot... People call them soft etc... but you gotta realize this is the same team that beat a very physical Utah and a very physical San Antonio team. They ll be back next year. I dont know if Boston will make it back to the finals, coz once Detroit revamps, its going to be tough.
