This season, because of the coaching change, Kobe has stepped back quite a bit from the leadership role he took on with Phil Jackson. Lakers have a leadership vacuum. And Kobe knows it's not good for the Lakers if he scores too many points. He needs the others to step up, but he's not really trying to inspire them to do so. The Lakers have all the experience where it comes to games 7. But Denver has found very easy ways to the basket against a very poor interior D, and if that continues anything can happen. The NBA has a healthy dose of WWF, so I want to see who the refs are first.
