Well, are you talking about when the book is due at the publisher and you need someone to get it done when it matters. Or are talking if we were to start a writing company today and wanted to build around a writer?

:dontknow:

Go Kobe.

This is as good as a closeout game.

Great defensive play by Kobe. I've haven't seen the "run away with your hands up in the air and give up an easy layup" play since Max did it back in 2006.

Kobe gets a bail out call after he was trapped.

Kobe gets another bail out.

LMAO at Kobe. Single handedly taking the Lakers out of the game.

The Closer.

Kobe 2 for his last 13. 5-10 on free throws. 4 turnovers. Bailout calls that he couldn't capitalize on.

LOL at him.

Good job, Majiks.

If you play like Lebron Kobe, you'll lose. You must make your free throws and maintain possessions. We'll see if the Magic can sweep the home set.

The Magic are a tricked layup away from a 2-1 lead.

Kobe "closed" the coffin on the Lakers tonight, singlehandedly losing them the game.

Joey Crawford, on the other hand, singlehandedly aimed to keep them in. He officiated the worst game I've ever seen out of a ref. Stern allowing this guy to officiate Finals games pretty much confirms any conspiracy theorist's worst nightmares about the league.

If Lee makes an easy shot, Magic are up 2-1. Lee and Redick in game 2 is still amazingly bad.

Solid game by the Magic, although when shoot 40/64 from the field, draw more fouls and attempt more freethrows you want to win at home by more than 4. Hopefully they can win another one at home and make a series of it.

Well the series is still alive I guess.... Just. C'mon Magic I want to see a decent finals series now that we finally have free to air coverage of the NBA in Australia.

Shaq is going to be furious.

BTW, gotta love Kobe going 10-23 from the field while Gasol goes 9-11.

Check out Bill Simmons' column about Game 2. He posts Kobe's "clutch" playoff stats which come from 82games.com. Let's just say they make you wonder if Kobe being called the game's best finisher is an accurate description.
