Of course, this series HAD to go to a game 7. Laker fans, don't lose heart. You'll still have the best player on the court Saturday. Question: Was Kobe trying to do too much in overtime, or did the situation require him to try to take over the game?
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting LO7:</div><div class="quote_post">Too much one on one. What happened to the team concept?</div> It helps none when the team was just standing around watching Kobe the last couple posessions. Kobe can't take this all by himself, the teams needs to move around and get into the set offense.

I don't blame Kobe for taking over the game. He tried to pass it up and get others involved but no one stepped it up. If Kobe didn't take over the Lakers wouldn't have even been in overtime.

Question: Was Kobe trying to do too much in overtime, or did the situation require him to try to take over the game?</div> I think it was a little of both. The end of the game is Kobe's time, but his teammates can't stop moving out there. He's been making a lot of great decisions with the basketball the entire series, but his teammates have to put themselves in a spot where he can deliver the pass. As the game winded down, everyone on the Lakers were tight and the nerves were getting to them. This is a good learning experience for this team either way. They have nothing to be ashamed of, no one gave them a chance in this series, and no one is giving them a chance in Game 7. The Lakers have to cut the turnovers down and continue to execute the onslaught on the inside.

That he tried to argue his case to the refs? Every single player in the NBA does that. Puh Please. <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post"> If you're going to call Nash a complainer than you should look at what Kobe's doing.

You guys should still have faith. It could still happen. I told you guys not to look ahead though in the Kings in the WCF thread, bad karma for you all right there.

<div class="quote_poster">Quoting LO7:</div><div class="quote_post">I am not losing faith... Just the thought of blowing a 3-1 lead...</div> Same..... Its unbelievably to lose such momentum and an advantage.
If we would have secured that rebound that Marion took from us, we would be popping bottles... or just celeberating but instead now we go to the dessert.
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting Chutney:</div><div class="quote_post">LoL, that's what I said too. That poster pulled a T-Mac.</div> That's what I said in that post, lol. I said don't forget what happened to Tmac, because it could come back and bite you in the butt. I don't like the Lakers chances in Game 7, because Kobe is going to want to destroy Raja Bell and when Kobe scores a lot against the Suns, they just don't win. <div class="quote_poster">Quoting Franchise4Ever:</div><div class="quote_post">Same..... Its unbelievably to lose such momentum and an advantage.</div> Trust me, I know, being a Magic fan, the last team to fall from 3-1. It was sorta the same thing as the Magic were 8 vs. 1 and the Lakers are 7 vs. 2. Both were huge upsets and the favorite just started to take over. It's a horrible feeling, which is why I told you to not start celebrating before you beat them again.
excuse my language... But F*3K KOBE! What the hell is he doing? That must be the worse 6 seconds play I ever see from KOBE! WTF is THIS? Waiting for the clock to counting down and took a 21 foot desperate shot? It's not like it's a 1 or 2second left on the clock. DRIVE TO THE DAMn BASKET. I blame this game on NOONE BUT KOBE. Other notes: forget about working Kwame in the post, he need to frigging practice on catching the ball. It must be the worse button finger hand on the planet! I hope Phil in practice, throwing this guy rock and tell him to catch it instead of real basketballl ball. And Smush? What the F**k is he doing on the court anyway? Looking at his him, I wanna smack his face. The guy didn't seem to enjoy playing on the court. For god sake, at least play some tough defense on Nash if your game is OFF! Lastly Walton, he needs to realize he ain't like his dad, Bill Walton. It's bullsh1t seeing him taking tough shot when the game is on the line. Either give it to Kobe or Lamar, how hard is that to do? MotherFu8Cke#, it's OVER!
damn. Turnovers killed us. Kobe did everything he could. Hats off to the Suns who all were in double digits. Thomas has played clutch this series. Game 7 here we come. I hope the rest of the Lakers come in this next game with fire in thier eyes because I know Kobe will. Its gonna be fun watching Kobe and Raja go at it. WHOOO HOOO!!!!

They are going interview the players now in the Laker locker room. PJax was very confident in his post game interview and kept his composure after a tough loss. The players have to keep their heads up and be confident they can win in Phoenix. I'm sure Kobe isn't phased at all.
