Kobe playing hero ball again

Derek Fisher arguing a flop call is always hilarious.

Derek Fisher arguing a flop call is always hilarious.

I stopped watching to do homework, but has Pau put his hands up looking like he's about to cry?

[fairweatherfan]

That should be 8 seconds on Kobe anyway.

after Rose's performance yesterday and Paul's today, the bar has been set for Rondo

Hornet ball no doubt...put gasol on a milk carton

[BudweiserCeltic]

I actually don't like the way Ariza is defending Kobe, but Kobe looks quite off in the last couple of possessions.

[fairweatherfan]

Wow - Hornets have no excuse for not taking this one now.  What a game by Paul.  He is going to give the Lakers fits all series.

[Frezz]

Chris Paul on another level

Any team that has Chris Paul on it should never be counted out. Best point guard hands down

The same Chris Paul that let his team lose by FIFTY in an elimination game at home two years ago? I'm shocked that this is never brought up with him. At this point in his career that should define him.

So?
Hmm lets scroll down Kobe's resume (Who's thought of as the best in his generation  )

-Blew a 24 point halftime lead to the Celtics in Game 4 of the '08 Finals
-Lost the 2006 round 1 series against the Suns after having a commanding 3-1 lead
-Shot below 35% in the 2004 Finals against the huge underdog in the Pistons. Shot the Lakers out of the series
-And last year, shooting 6/24 in Game 7. Needed his teammates to bail him out

I'm shocked that is never brought up when talking about Kobe

chris paul is cold-blooded

[PosImpos]

Maybe I jinxed the Lakers?  Haha.

Chris Paul for MVP. 

Ladies and gentlemen, let's get this man some real teammates so he can actually contend!

I actually don't like the way Ariza is defending Kobe, but Kobe looks quite off in the last couple of possessions.

If his neck is bruised up, it's probably hurting constantly and affecting his ability to move his head.  When your neck stiffens up any complex movement gets tougher.  Could be contributing.

Shame about Gray - he's had a great game and they absolutely need him out there.

[Bahku]

That's a shame to lose Gray ... he's had a big contribution against Pau ... hope it's not too bad. That said, I'm lovin' the fact that Kobe can't even make a layup ... and the Lakers losing ... sweeeeeeeeet!

[celticinorlando]

suck it lakers

[PosImpos]

Here's something that should NEVER happen for the Lakers if they want to win:

Kobe's FGA > Pau's FGA + Bynum's FGA
