Kobe gave it a valliant effort, but in the end it was just he and Paul Pierce. One on one. Oh and Pierce is 6'6" so Kobe can guard him. Kobes lockdown D looking for the refs to overlook his obvious foul on Pierce. Nope. Some refs gonna get fired because they correctly gave Pierce the foul shots.
Celts lead by one. One last chance with 1.7 and Kobe cannot connect at the buzzer.
I guess you can't always win half the time.
Your comments show me two things:
1) You didn't see the game -- you just watched Sportscenter to see what happened.
2) You talk about Kobe NOT playing team ball but then, when it fits your scenario, you want to talk about him as an individual.
By-the-way, here are Kobe and Pierce's stats in last nights game:
Kobe vs. Pierce
40 min vs. 41 min
11-23 fg vs. 12-20 fg
15-17 ft vs. 14-21 fg
8 reb vs. 7 reb
6 ass vs. 4 ass
1 stl vs. 2 stl
3 TO vs. 6 TO
40 pts vs. 39 pts
Hmm, when you look at all of that, it looks like pretty much a swash doesn't it? Pierce has a better fg% and one more steal but Kobe has 1 more rebound, 2 more assists, 1 more point and 3 less TO's while shooting far better at the ft line.
It's almost like it was up to the rest of the TEAM to decide who won the game. But wait, that doesn't fit your latest tirade so just forget the facts -- they've never bothered you before!
