I really don't think there is any point in replying anymore as I don't think you'll ever accept that Arenas was outplayed and he was a factor in the loss.

Maybe if Arenas would have played more team ball and looked to get others involved they would have been leading instead of close. Just because your close doesn't mean you shouldn't make adjustments. He got caught up in all the hype of a one-on-one battle with Kobe and his team suffered from it. He couldn't handle that load and it resulted in a lose.
Kobe misses an easy dunk, but makes up for it with a 360: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ta-78BQXtqU Awesome.
