    ... Defensively. Of course they are also good ofensively, but I was referring to the defense. Size is everything defensively, go tell to Pierce (yes, his 2-11 is not thanks to Artest D, but thanks to Bynum+Pau).

    Slightly? LA has a double FT advantage, all of their bigs are in foul trouble and Gasol has like 1 or 2.

    With that being said, Boston is doing plenty to blow the game on their own.

    Gasol has been more consistent than Kobe this entire playoffs.

    Especially in the first round...

    kobe has had many situations where he operated in the MIDDLE of the court, including that 3pt play earlier. so no, it's stupid coaching right now.

    sure kobe isn't have a great game, but he's kobe bryant. you give him some respect. they're like daring kobe to win this game.

    Artest is bigger than Battier. Is a superior defender? No.

    rondo should not have passed that. ray allen is not as good of a finisher.

    Rondo is clutch!

    Kobe committed his 6th foul...garbage.

    Dumb refs, he actually held out both hands when saying who gets ball.

    paul pierce is 2-11. that's a shut down. artest has been shutting down a lot of guys in this year's playoffs. give the guy respect.

    he sucks offensively though.

    at first i thought that was obviously off kg, but it was closer than i thought. well, on that angle it clearly was only kg's hand on the ball because gasol's hand was behind kg's hand.

    woah, wait they kept the call?

    Great call - no way can you conclusively show that Gasol's finger wasn't also on that ball.

    pau has had just as many double teams as kobe, if not more, in this year's playoff run.

    Any other situation from preseason through the last game of The Finals, and that would have been a foul.
