IN all fairness, that was a BS "T" on Kobe for taunting.

He's been at it all game.

I wish Battier would say something back. 😛

Lamar is great, Fisher is great, without Kobe I still see them as contenders, maybe even Champs. Sure he's the best player on the team by far. But those games where he's ball hogging and scoring 50, 60, even 81 points. I can't help but wonder what the rest of the team could have done if they had the ball. I don't really look at his 81 point game in NY as an accomplishment. Lamar + Gasol + Fisher alone makes for a sweet squad. Kobe probably doesn't want to help Odem become a better player, because it will take the spot light off of him. Kobe is not a good team leader, Shaq was far better. And Shaq has a ring since leaving the Lakers, even if he never gets another, he managed to do it without Kobe. Kobe can't say the same though.

Lamar has never really thrived when he was "the guy". Reminds me in a way of Paul Pierce in that regard. Pierce did very well when Antoine Walker was there - play-offs, Eastern Conf. finals - even tho Walker was kind of a lunkhead. Then, once Antoine was gone, he struggled more in the big spot. Lamar looks more comfortable as the 3rd option on offense.

This is probably the best playoff series in a long time. I'm kind of a fan of both teams having lived in LA and now in the Houston area.

Bulls/Celtics that ended on Saturday was better, though it's only game 2 here, so we shall see.
