Did Kobe score at all in OT Besides the Two FT's at the end?

Can't ask for too much when he is playing 52 mins on a back to back game, he is human after all.

No but he did set up one of, if not the biggest shot in the game, in Vujacic's OT three pointer. Kobe played shot very poorly, and GS played good defense on him. The Lakers seemed to expect him to take a shot, and the the offense was stagnet, no one was moving, cutting, etc.

Nice video ballboy, someone seems a little upset.

[Tesla]

BTW Odom should be the player of the game, 23 points, 21 rebs, 5 assists and 5 blocks.

(of course someone will say zebra is POTG)

Odom has played absolutley great these past two games, and in general the past three months. Nothing but love to LO, he was definitley the player of the game from the Laker stand point tonight.

[dockingsched]

odom becomes 5th player since 2000 to post a 20 point/20 rebound/5 assist/5 block game.

[Sedale Threatt]

It should also be noted that he scored 14 points in the fourth quarter/OT on 7-of-14 shooing.

Why thank you, Mr. Internet Gangsta.

even though we're all hating on the Lakers and the refs, there's no need for unnecessary hate..Kobe had a below average game, which is still great for most other players..he set up Fisher's 3, which was one of the key plays in the game..he also played solid D for most of the 4th quarter and OT, including an impressive cut off of Baron, which forced him to pass it falling out of bounds, leading to a bad shot by Golden State..and like Derek Fisher's cousin Sedale Thread said, he shot well in that period of time..

lol, and you get that from me having a tupac avy? Brilliant.

But NBA on NBC >>>>>>>>>> NBA on ABC, ESPN

[pro2020]

strange that espn.com choose to omit the controversial "play" on their little video recap, interesting.

[B-Diddy#1fan]

I'm not even mad that the Lakers won. Honestly if the Warriors had missed that final shot, I would have been like good game but what pisses me off was that the Warriors didn't get a chance to do that.

Should have been a no-call. I saw Kobe bear hugging Baron Davis but at the end of the game, I thought they should have just let it play out.

Yes. We may be rivals when it comes to Lakers and Warriors but at least we agree on one thing.

But the Lakers...

whatever.

Actually they said something like "that call all but handed the game to the lakers...." in their recap. I dont know how you can get any more specific than that

Yeah that's good enough. We can't expect the NBA to make a full length documentary on that call or whatever. haha. But yeah, it's probably likely that the NBA won't put much emphasis on it. It would give them a bad look, they're lucky that it wasn't on national television otherwise more people would be aware the controversial call.

the nba? the nba doesn't decide what highlights espn runs.

They said that after they said "And Monta bowls over Fisher"...Hilarious...

[The MVPlaya]

It SHOULD have been a no-call given the situation of the game, but I UNDERSTAND why it was called. Make no mistake about it, Fisher didn't "pull" Monta down. Even tho he did some acting, his hands were up and Monta definitely gave him a little push and then Fish grabbed Monta when he was about to fall. Still, if it happend to my team I'd be pissed, but if Monta keeps his hands up nothing is called, it is what it is.

HAHA, and the justifications continue...

[NBA on NBC]

We need to just end it right here. Obviously both sides will never come to an agreement. Lakers fans think the refs were awesome and non Lakers fans think Fisher flopped blah blah blah.

No one will accept what the other side is saying. All it is is both sides being a broken record by repeating the same justifications and excuses over and over and over again.

So yeah lets end it right here.




















Warriors should have won though.
