This team has lost it's killer instinct. Blowing a 16 point lead and not putting Dallas away on your homecourt is inexcusable. There were so many brain farts by our defense last night on defensive rotations and recognizing what Dallas was doing on offense.
I keep saying this BROWN/BLAKE combo doesn't work...we keep losing the leads with these fuckers on the court. So frustrating. Kobe is fucking up too much in closed games making stupid turnovers and plays.
And he chose to go with his usual rotation of putting kobe in with 8mins to go when the mavs have already built a lead.
Lakers need some athleticism on at the point and 3 spot if they want to remain contenders the next couple of years....it has been clear for some time now that Kobe is not what he used to be...you still keep Gasol (although he needs a kick in the butt) and maybe get another big man to backup Bynum...........but the theme of this years playoffs has been age........
