    I actually don't think Kobes is playing bad. The Celtics have an easy game plan. It's called five on one and let the others beat us. It is working and will keep working until a few guys by the name of ________, step up and help Kobe. Rad was absolutely horrendous and to top it off, Luke follows his play. It is so difficult to watch players slack off in the finals. This is where players leave it all out there. Just like Powe did. Who? Powe. Who? I cannot believe he had 21 points and got to the line more than Kobe. I will say though, did the Lakers really drive enough to get the foul calls? I don't think so.

    How is this for frustration... I wrote about Laker-Celtics match-ups in one of the "upcoming match-ups" thread and detailed all the different benefits of having Kobe guard Rondo instead of having him chase Ray Allen all over the floor... What is frustrating is that coaching "wisdom" in this series came from fans posting on the forum and not PJ on the actual court. I mean if I (for heavens sake) thought Kobe should guard Rondo almost a week ago, why the hell didn't PJ do this from game on?! I mean this was a brilliant move, but it could have been made in Game 2, at the very least.

    cmon odom's giving a great effort, he just needs to be more aggressive on offense, and make his shots

    dfish was good until the last game, its was probably hard to notice because everyone else was doing so bad

    if anyone is mr inconsistent, it's pau, he iss great at times and disappears minutes later

    Saying Rony may need another surgery is just about as bad as Utah fans chanting "Cancer" to DFish. You have no class.

    I agree and disagree at the same time. Yes Pau is inconsistent but he's inconsistent for two reasons in this series:

    1. He doesn't do well with physical play.

    2, They go to him early and forget about him the rest of the game.

    The disagree part is Odom. He has as much talent as anyone in the league but has been inconsistent his whole career, thats his problem.

    Its why he's been on so many different teams and is still just now 29.

    If he ever becomes consistent he'll be devastating but I wouldn't hold my breath!

    No emotion, like we dont care we are in the finals. We just want to go home. Well it was a wild year! I hope we can make a few minor tweeks and be in this thing again next year. I am just sad we have Vlad on this team. That is the #1 most WORTHLESS basketball player ever!!! Just cut our losses and tell him he can leave! We need someone in the with some heart and some balls to stand up to people. We also need a player who can rebound the ball, which I think Bynum will do. I think the future looks bright, but a rough way to end the season! GO LAKERS!!!!

    Can you possibly provide an example of how the refs screwed the Lakers. They never played a full game and spent to much time whining about calls, and not enough time playing the game.

    i think the only time the lakers were screwed by the refs was in game 2.

    and if there are any other trolls in here, please dont say "well what about lakers against utah, or lakers against spurs on the last shot".. pleeeassse.. two wrongs still dont make a right.. besides, the arguement there is that utah IS the number 1 fouling team, and against the spurs with the no call, the lakers were still the ones being screwed in that game as well..

    other than that, we really did get an a$$ whoopin last night.. it looked like freshmen were playing a scrimmage game against the high school seniors..

    i can take this loss, the one that still bothers me tho is game 4.. it just shows that veterans will always beat youngins.. theyr just much smarter.. they dont go for blocks, they go for charges.. they dont reach, they cut off lanes.. celtics is a good combination of young talent and veteran leadership, and i think thats what the lakers front office will be working on this summer..

    Whatever they do this offseason, the lakers need to get a player with a lot of mental toughness.

    I think that this was a good experience comon do you really expect a the midle of the season that this young team was going to be in the finals yeah it hurts because the score but a lost is a lost no matter the score was any ways I can' wait to see the complete team together Coby,Gasoln, Biron, Fisher and Sasha together well see then the more experience the better I remember when Magic used to play at the begining we also lost to Boston but we go them back the next season.

    clutchkb24: You're one of the few who has recognized Boston's gameplan. Not too many people no matter who they are can win with you shooting over three hands going up at your shot. Boston has pretty much played a box and one on Kobe from the looks of it. However people are complaining about Kobe not getting up 30 plus points, well damn, he's been doubled and triple teamed the whole series when he gets anywhere near the paint, at one time I even saw five people on him. The guy is a human, not an android. On top of that, he's the only one who has shown any common sense when guarding Pierce.

    I find it funny how you basically dissed the entire roster but made Kobe out to be some sort of hero. Not mentioning the fact that the only game he played well is when he attacked their defense and got to the line but then completely forgot about that gameplan the rest of the series while he continued to jack up 25 footers. How about placing some blame on Kobe, you act like EVERYONE pretty much screwed up but Kobe.
    Heart of a Champion, well it sure didn't show in the elimination game in which he shot 7-22 and only had 5 freethrows for the entire game while odom had 16. It sure didn't show while he took 9 three pointers in this game that he never took before. Even lebron had 40 plus in an elimination game. Kobe finished with 22 and 1 assist. That's what you call heart of a champion though right?? EVERYONE needs to take blame for these finals. Kobe's not exempt!

    u got that right L. kobe should also take some blame. the one thing i will say though is he did try and get his heartless teammates involved and he played hard himself but kobe is the captain and he just didnt produce like he did in the previous three playoff series. the whole team needs to take blame from the coaching staff to the players. oh btw, i hope this puts an end to all of the kobe/jordan comparisons. ive sat here and read numerous childish posts on how kobe has greater skill than mj and how he is a superior player. that puts en end to that. kobe is a great player that will go down as ONE of the best shooting guards of all time but he will never be like mike.

    cyclone nicky: Imagine with me for a second that Bryant has a Scottie Peppen in his prime to go war against Boston. Do you think Scottie would have made more of an impact than one of our current players? Do you think Scottie playing the facilitator and having the ability to shoot, drive, finish and dish would have helped out? How about Scottie playing D on Pierce because he knows how to D up?

    Also, let's imagine that Boston isn't allowed to play a zone defense on Kobe, some sort of box and 1 on Kobe and see what happens. Even back in the 90's if you faked a double team and went back sometimes they would call an illegal defense on you. The zone type defense has taken away individualism in the game and has made it a team sport that reqires more than one individual doing their thing. I'm glad they kind of implemented it because I couldn't watch Miami and NY games with finals scores of 62 to 59.

    Jordan got to play in that zone-free era and that makes a big difference offensively, it didn't just effect the bigs now, it effected any sort of isolations.

    I really feel that Jordan had less responsibility with the Bulls when comparing Kobe with the Lakers.
