16-0 GS run after the graphic of "24 pts = largest LAL lead this season" is shown. And then Lin shows the world he's on Kobe's level with the dagger.
Kobe is a negative asset for the Lakers on the court. Last game, Kobe single handedly blew a Lakers lead in the 4th quarter and gift wrap the lowly Kings a victory. Tonight Kobe sits out, and Lakers blew out the best team in the league.

Lakers are unpredictable without Kobe on the floor. Haven't checked LakersUnderground nor will I, but I bet the LOF fans are plenty pissed at Ronnie Price for stealing his glory tonight.
The Lakers got good performances from a bunch of guys tonight. Price, Lin, Boozer, Swaggy, etc. Everyone is playing with more energy about being liberated from Kobe's grave. Byron is the one who is crazy if he thinks playing with a guy who takes a ton of low % shots and gives no effort on D doesn't make a difference in the team's performance.
They are not unpredictable. They are predictably better. It's been that way all season: http://www.82games.com/1415/14LAL5.HTM#onoff
Kobe Bryant still thinks hes the Black Mamba. He's just Kobe Bryant now. Tracy McGrady still thought he was Tmac. He was just Tracy McGrady. Superstar ego in an ailing body
