Boston has played as bad as possible pretty much and is only down 6? That is encouraging.

I laughed out loud at this exchange

Tafoya: You've already gone to the line more in the first half than you did in Game 2, how did you do it?
Kobe: I dunno, we're playing the same way.

the Celtics don't have the Lakers where they want them..they're losing..you can't just assume KG and Pierce are going to play better, it doesn't work that way..

Watters- where would you rank KG in top big men in the NBA and players in general? curious..

Obviously being known as a 7-foot version of Michael Jordan is more important to him than winning a championship. He displays this on practically every offensive play that he fails to use his size to his team's advantage (pretty much every single one of them).

And at the same time, he tries to fool everybody by putting on his little intensity show, tries to convince people that getting to play his way isn't more important to him than winning.

If this isn't fraud, I don't know what is...


So KG doesn't care about winning?

Hopefully Pierce and KG wake up and make LA pay for those missed FT's.

Yeah and the Lakers are playing great. 2 of Bostons big 3 haven't shown up, same with the Lakers. Odom played 7 minutes the first half.

Neither team is playing great.

I think he has KG right below Brooke Lopez.

Celtics played like crap. Lakers played like crap. The Lakers' front court is still in Boston.

Kobe is just playing MVP basketball. That's the difference in this game right now.

Lakers should be afraid, their Front Court line has played like trash (Gasol and ESPECIALLY Odom)

Well the Celtics are a 3rd quarter team so we'll see what happens. It's a really a shame KG isn't shooting that well because I know it will give people a reason to try and hate on him. I expect him and Pierce to raise their level of play in the 3rd.

It's good to see that despite the Tim Donaghy allegations, David Stern is still completely willing to rig a game to extend the series. :D

Maybe he cares about winning. But not nearly as much as he does about getting to play his way.

And you've made no attempt to refute this idea, instead only telling me I'm crazy.

Because a view isn't widely held that makes the person that holds it crazy? Why does KG get a free pass on his selfishness when so many other players don't?

We the Lakers have no sleeping Giants. Whose gana wake up Chris Mimh. I tried my best to like and think of Gasol as not soft but jeez. When you cant make free throws dont ask for em. Thats not fair to us fans who yelled and screamed for you guys.

Well one thing is they look the same age, but Kobe said one of them was 1 year old and other 5? Also are they wearing wigs?

KG is selfish? Lol if anything a knock on him is that he's too selfless.
