Kobe is absolutely out of his mind. 19 so far in the 3rd.

I bet on the Celtics, so I think it was a brilliant call.
Both teams trying to give this one away. This one won't be going in the ESPN Classic vault.
That was nice, though.

I'll still be shocked if the Celtics manage to win again in L.A. Of course, I expected them to lose to Cleveland and Orlando, too.
I've been a college-only guy for years, but something about the NBA caught my attention this year, and I found out that several teams were fun to watch, the Celtics being one of them. I really enjoy watching Pierce, particularly. It feels funny to root against the Lakers, though, since when I was small I had a poster on my wall with Jerry West, Wilt, and Elgin Baylor. Back then, being a West Virginian meant being a Laker fan.

Kobe went OFF in the 3rd, but again, he was held to 2 of 6 in the fourth quarter. That's 4 games in a row he has flat out failed in the 4th quarter. He got little to no help. Artest continues to just be awful.
Celtics big 4 had their best game of the series, and only need one more to win me my +500 future bet on them. I'm still not sure they do it. I keep waiting on the game that Kobe just refuses to let them lose, and am holding out judgment until the series is over. We shall see.
Actually, I think it did. At the point when it was right by the rim, the path of the ball changed like it did hit the rim.
The view from straight on shows the spin of the ball change as it glances off the rim.
Either way, impossible call to make in real time.
Good thing RBA didn't take that sig bet.
Your Kobe hate is unbelievable. It really is. He was literally the only player that showed up for the Lakers today and the best you can do is say he went 2 for 6 in the 4th? Really? Keep in mind two of his 4 misses were absolute desperation 3s with under a minute left.
Today was the game where Kobe refused to let them lose, the problem in the rest of the team was horsecrap.
I don't see us winning both games in LA. This has turned into the same series as two years ago. Bynum is died and Gasol has gone to crap.

Kobe had 38 points on 13-27 shooting.
The REST OF THE TEAM had 48 points on 18-51 shooting.
The rest of the team was awful. Kobe, for the most part was outstanding. However, he was not the "closer" that he is supposed to be, which is all I criticized him for.
