These guys have absolutely FAILED Kobe Byrant. You feel for a guy that puts it all out there, and his teammates play like deers in headlights for 3 straight games.

Odom, Artest, Brown, Farmar, Walton, Sasha...they all looked retarded out there; either scared of the moment or just forgot their assignments.

For three games, the lakers have had too many defensive lapses for a championship team. Entirely too many. Guys not knowing who the help off, guys not closing out, guys simply not putting a hand up in a shooters face (its the little things that make you a championship ball club), boxing out (its position and length, NOT STRENGTH).

Ron Artest and Odom are having an All-Tim finals choke job performances.

Bynum is gritting it out, and Kobe is trying to carry his team by doing the offensive, and just hoping for a stop.

Artest is making mistakes out their that your kids make in JV. Its tough to watch

I'm 20, and I can remember watching the finals since 1994, so that is 16 finals right their, and I havent seen a finals team play as dumb as the Lakers have in a three game stretch ever.

Its different if you are outmatched...but they are just playing stupid...

Lakers better hope home court pays off

Boston wants it

The Lakers look defeated

Gasol has disappeared

Artest is shaken

Kobe is the best player in the NBA.

That doesn't mean that he deserves to win a championship every year.

It appears that Boston is a better "team." Boston has had more assist in the Lakers in every game of the series so far. The Celtics have had 103 assist to the Lakers 74.

Have you ever considered that the Celtics are just better than the Lakers?

You do realize Kobe played subpar for 3 straight games himself before tonight right?

The rest of the team hasn't been great in this series, obviously, but let's not act like Kobe's been a stud in every single game.
