Please somebody post the video of Rondo blowing the layup at the end of the game. :grin: oh man i fell out of my seat!
Granted I only watched the last 6 mins of regulation and OT, but Kobe was sorry. The game-tying shot was one of two I saw him make out of about 11 attempts. After Stuckey roasted and toasted him two consecutive times (the crossover step-back was awesome), Kobe comes back down and jacks up a 29-foot brick. Then he loses the game for the Lakers in OT after sending it into the extra session.
he final stat line was 8-26 i think? not a good shooting night, when bynum and gasol both played well.
You'd think at his age, Kobe wouldn't be in "payback" mode in a close game down the stretch. That particular shot was childish. Funny thing is every time in OT when the Pistons double-teamed and trapped Kobe, he passed to an open man who hit a shot. I contend they should have encouraged him continue taking long jumpers. The one time they should have trapped him was at the end of regulation. Letting him iso on Prince was a terrible call. He got his favorite shot off from 15-feet.
