miami really should be 2-0 against us... we had a lucky shot by kobe to win at LA.

good game by Miami, Kobe and the Lakers played with a piss poor display of a team sport.

Well, there is flat-out no ball movement. That's what you get with Bryant - a great, great player where the ball stops moving when it gets into his hands. It's just the way it is. And it's not going to change.

unfortunate, because no matter how great kobe's line is (30+pts, good FG %), it's what he does to help the team get better.

i don't see him as an MVP type player anymore. he hasn't done enough to get team chemistry to where it "could" be. we saw this during his absence. he gets too many of his shots by stopping the offense instead of trying to play within the offense.



we can't always expect the other guys to instantly turn it on when they haven't touch the ball for 5 minutes. i exaggerate but it's really tough seeing a team wasting away their talent by the minute because we can't play team ball. kobe, phil, everyone is to blame for that.

if the ring is the ultimately goal, everyone needs to sacrifice a part of their game for the good of the team.

miami is not a great team and we shouldn't be losing games like this... it was there for us to win.
