I say that because I am not biased towards any particular player. With that said, KOBE BRYANT is the one to blame for last night's loss. On several occasions, he let his man drive by him for an easy layup and expected his teammates to back him up. If Kobe is 1st team All Defense, he should have pressured his man the entire game instead of periodically. Kobe was the only one who didn't show up. Phil should have made better substitutions like play D-Fish more in the 4th and Ariza but oh well. Kobe shouldn't be "mad" at his teammates and blame himself for not hustling all the time on defense and for his horrible shooting night. Did anyone see Kobe complain about being fouled when Pierce (that SOB) clearly block his shot and then watched the C's go down in transition and score a basket? Did anyone notice Kobe kicking out his leg at the end of the game to get a foul called? As the leader, Kobe needs to stop complaining about calls and if he doesn't get a call, hurry back on defense. This is the worst I have seen him play and I know what he is capable of. If Kobe isn't selfish, shoots better, and doesn't act like a mom to his teammates, we can pull this off in 7 games.

Win game 5. Boston will tend to relax coz they want to get the championship on their own court. 2. Treat game 6 as game 7. Mind set must be: You will win the series once you win game 6. As if you aready won the title once you win game 6. 3. Once we have Game 7, it's anybody's ballgame, play it as if it's the last game of your career...no tomorrow. The only way Boston will win is over your dead body. the series is not yet over so here’s the game plan for the lakers:

MARK MY WORDS!!! then anything can happen in game 7, i mean, we almost came back from a 24 point deficit with like 7 minutes remaining in the game! granted its away, but just read the previous sentence... please dont give up, fans and players, bring the title back to where it truly belongs, LA!!! through thick and thin, i will always cheer my lakers and have faith, just like how u guys should toooooo. p.s. did i mention how much i hate people saying its over? cuz last time i checked, u have to win 4 games out of the seven, not 3 [Comment ID #39733 Will Be Quoted Here]

But honestly, I can't find an ounce of sympathy for this team. They did it to themselves! There is no possible way that Boston suddenly decided to show up in this game. And if they had, honestly, I don't think they could have come back all the way. Pau played terrible and they made some really dumb mistakes on defense. I have always been an optimist but right now the odds are really stacked against them. I'll be watching and if they win the championship, then GREAT, we are officially witnesses of the greatest historic comeback. And if not, then the disappointment will have already passed because nothing can be worse than the feeling of watching your team give up a 24 point lead in Game 4 of the NBA Finals where they are down 2-1. (just let that sink in, believe me NOTHING is worse than that) This hurts really bad.
