It's Pretty Simple For The Lakers

[BobHarvey]

No rebounds, no rings, no riots.

Odom and Artest have tanked. Pau is pouting. Rondo is too much for D-Fish over 48 minutes. Kobe can't do it alone.

The Lakers never had a bench and Rivers has outcoached Phil.

The Celtics want it more and it shows.

Unless Kobe can "will" the Lakers to two straight wins the series is over. IF Kobe wills them to two straight wins you can ramp up the Kobe vs. Jordan comparisons.

Bring on Game 6.

kobe did not trust his teammates tonight

you can not do it all by yourself

if i was Phil Jackson, i would try to follow a basic "score more points" strategy for the last two games...

i think if they managed to score more points in each of the next two games, pretty good chance they pull this off

[BobHarvey]

In order to score more points the Lakers need Lamar and Ron to wake up. I dout if they will.

Unless I'm reading my poker hand wrong the Celtics "Big Three" trumps the Lakers ace.

1. Lakers didn't get outrebounded AND they shot way worse. They won the rebounding battle.
2. Your right about artest and odom
3. Fisher hasn't been guarding Rondo (only today a little). Bryant has guarded him mostly and has shut him down this series.
4. Gasol has played great this series, he is not to blame.
