Kirilenko did a fantastic job with a banged up Kobe because Kiri cuts the passing angles that could have been easy 2s for Odom/Gasol and 3s for Vujacic/Fisher.

What the Lakers should have done is play Odom and Gasol as a 1-2 punch in the post.

as long as Odom and Gasol continue to outplay Boozer/Okur..the series is over.

Wow Rockets fans having nothing better to watch?

I'm sure T-mac has mastered the Choke artist throughout his nba career, some examples:

0 of 7 in 1st round = exits
18 straight losses with the Magic

Anyone wanna help get the Rockets fans back down to earth?

If that happens, that would only be imitating the Lakers of the last few years. Well, does not matter, many fans were saying Lakers were to go 4-0. He he he....Not gonna happen.

I dont know how anyone can put the loss on Kobe....I hate Kobe, but when the dude puts up 30 points, 10 assists, and 8 rebounds...you cant put much blame his way.

True he went 13-33 from the field, but considering his injury, Id be happy with the 30-10-8.

Dinky is a troll, he is a Rockets fan who likes to throw stuff around just for sake of it.

The level of Rockets bitterness is unbelievable in this thread.

That means nothing in the post season and hence why your at home and we are in round 2 with the Jazz. T-Mac like his cousin Vince suck. Plain and simple. Playoffs are when the real man come to play.

Theres a difference between defense for this team in OT. Usually the home team wins. They blocked kobe's option in the OT. He was look for everyone but Utah kept their body locked around. Kobe just did what he thought would be good and drove and shot, they didn't go in. Its PJ's responsibility to come up with plays but Utah played mean defense. However on the other end lakers played defense and allowed offensive rebound. Just pathetic.

Lakers can't play like this. One game role players didn't shoot well, and bench continue to suck. Next game kobe gets injured and choke in 4th and Lakers brick free throws. Lakers can't say we didn't play well or to what we can anymore. Because 2 more losses and we are gone fishing.

The OT... that's why I put the blame on him. He was playing pretty well considering his back injury, but what he did in the OT... damn, I just don't have an explanation for that.

Interesting, Jackson says that it was the other players, who were putting the ball in Kobe's hands.
