Ahm... seems to me that it was Kobe who carried the load for the Lakers yesterday. He was 9 - 15 for 27 points... his 0 assists??? Well, the rest of the team was 27 - 72. Seems to me that's the reason he had 0 assists... because none of those he passed the ball to got it in the ring.
Dwight Howard was the one who was totally ineffective. "Oh my aching back... Oh my aching shoulder..." :p

Kobe is the alpha dog right? He should have sparked a fire under his team. His body language clearly said..... I give up.
. If he really has that much fire in him and the desire to win, why not bring it every game. Even if they lost and lost big, try to make it competitive at least.
. It showed in his body language that he already called it a night in the 3rd.
All the greats bring it every night. You can't really pick and choose when and when not to bring it. That's why Magic blasted the Lakers after the loss. Magic certainly brought it every night even in losses.
