Holy mother fucking crack smoking butt fucking jesus.
That was an insane ending.
Had me out of my chair screaming at the TV. I am an NBA junkie and that kind of shit is my smack.
Lakers were doing a really good job of playing "let's disrupt the offense, turn the ball over and throw it to Kobe and get the fuck out of the way." Kobe was just insane. He's at a level where it's just an automatic switch in his brain. Looking at him play it felt like he was unconsious, like he was just letting killer instinct take over. But obviously it wasn't enough because ultimately the Lakers just aren't as balanced as a lot of better teams, ie Houston.
But god damn... as soon as Fisher spotted up for 3, I knew it was going in before it left his fingers. Jordan Farmar impressed me a lot too. At the end of the game they were playing Farmar-Fisher-Kobe vs Alston-James-T-Mac which made a huge difference in how entertaining this game turned out to be. It would have been a lot more boring if it had been, say, Fisher and Kobe and Vlad (did Odom even play tonight?) vs Alston-T-Mac-Battier. When Kobe and T-Mac play off the ball, it's a lot more exciting to watch because they spend more time defending each other and running around trying to get the ball and fight for position, rather than seeing them both run the ball up the floor and try to create for other people. Then when you throw in two guards who can play either position (Farmar is the only one who wouldn't be very effective at the 2) who can both create, run the ball and look for openings, it makes for a much better game.
I'm waiting for Blaza to come in here and say Kobe got screwed at the end with the last shot. I hope you caught that game man, for real.
