I, for one, have been begging Garnett to play on the block. There really is no need. The Lakers don't have the personnel to force the Celtics to post Garnett. The Celtics, according to Rivers, are at their best when they move the ball - make the extra pass - and spot the open shooter. With Eddie House on the floor or Posey on the floor, every one of 5 players can shoot. It's like the 2004 Pistons. Someone made that reference before -- and it's looking a lot like that series all over again. The 2004 Lakers were too old and slow. This Laker team is too soft. Kobe playing the Lone Scorer is not going to work because it's 1-against-5 (even though he's been passing his ass off). The Lakers aren't losing because of Kobe, they're losing because of their approach to the series and because of their bigs. CoCo's write up should be something special.

He played excellent defense on Kobe in the second half of last night's game. Also, last night Kobe didn't stop Pierce when he had to.....and to add insult to injury, Jesus Shuttlesworth got the best of him a few times as well.

Hopefully this will end all the ridiculous MJ comparisons, if the Celts do indeed win. Well, Kobe spit the bit in game 4, which appears to make Boston pretty much a lock.

Imma fan that doesnt like kobe (from Philly and always thought of him as a phony).. I respect his skill, but I loathe his fans and their lack of perspective on Mj vs. Kobe.... Jordan had 10 scoring titles... 5 MVPS.... 6 Finals MVPs... DPOY in 88 and was hands down the best player around.... He clowned the league for years... Kobe is no-where near Jordan's level Kobe is coming to a stage where he seems to have a better handle on what it took for Mj to lead his team as a Sg.... He's had the physical talent for a years now... but leadership and the mental control are still a work in progress. He looks great this year, but he obviously still cannot impose his will on a game like Mj could.. the relentless attitude is there, but not the 'mind over body' control that jordan had... The push to make Kobe into the next Mj is manufactured and it angers alot of fans because it is extremely premature. I think the fans will know when Kobe reaches Mj's level because we wont have to have commentators and kobe fans constantly feeling the need to push this idea any-more... you'll be able to point to accomplishments as well as his play night in and out and no words will be needed..it will be clear lust like when Mj was ripping apart the league... anyway thanks for hearing my two cents...

I guess people don't think the Lakers actually need Pau and Odom to win. It's not like the Lakers gave the Celts their best shot and barely won. Both teams played poorly.

More interesting note...this NBA ref corruption. Recent reports are suggesting that game 6 Sac vs. LA (2002) was fixed in LA's favor, not necessarily designed to win LA the series so much as to force it to a game 7 (tv, money, etc). This will be interesting. I'm kind of hoping $tern gets implicated in this. Never much cared for that guy.
