Better to be Lucky than to be Good

Another poor performance from Kobe (8-21 shooting) ensuring that ridiculous comparisons to you know who will never resurface again. Benefiting from a superstar no-call at the end of the game and poor free throw shooting from Garnett, the Lakers surprisingly held on to win after looking second best for 3 quarters. Interestingly enough the only player competing like his life depended on it was James Posey, who already has a championship. Facing elimination there was a severe lack of energy among the Lakers and the Hollywood crowd who only seem interested when the camera is on them or Kobe scores. Boston will take what they deserve on Tuesday.
