And tougher.

 

Of course I do, now more than ever. And yes she is, though she finally stopped after 5 in 10 years.

 

Party's over Boston.
Lakers win these last two.

 

Just want to note that Kobe Bryant has done everything he possibly could, and got only two things from teammates last night:

Jack and Shit. Artest at least had a chance at redemption after a nothing game. But he blew it.

I thought the series would turn against the Lakers on either a Bynum injury or an Artest screwup. Little did I know they would happen back-to-back.

 

For those with ESPN Insider access...

Kobe for MVP no matter which team wins the title? Interesting.

 

That's just because fans and TV folks vote for the top name they know regardless. Fisher could hit 7 3's in a Game 7 for Lakers and Kobe would be MVP.

And the Lakers aren't as good when Kobe takes over a game. He's still a selfish arrogant kid no matter how really talented he is and he hurts the team when he does his all-for-one routine. If Kobe scores 40 points tonight, Lakers lose.

 

Indeed, the other Lakers have played so well this series. If ONLY he would have passed the ball more in Game Five, they'd be up 3-2! They will help him, if only he'd let them!

(To be fair, Bynum has really shown what he's made of this series. He has gutted out every moment he's been out there, showing that if he can ever get healthy, he's really grown up. But let's not recycle this tired line of "Kobe's selfish!!!" reasoning, especially after that last game)

 

The Lakers have a bench?

 

Seriously people need some new Kobe memes. The whole "ball hog who doesn't trust his teammates!" thing is both tired and false. You're not actually watching the games if that is your feble attempt at insight. There are plenty of other legit reasons to criticize him.

 

Everytime I turn on one of these games, in two minutes or less I see a shitty call or a no call.

This time - Artest elbowing Rondo in the mouth and a no call.

 

Score?

 

Lakers are up 26 Johnny.
