Naaahh you don't get credit for what you do in the last 5-6min of a game. He had a horrific 3rd qrt and shot them out the game.

As I was saying the Lakers record when Kobe shoots more than 20FGA/gm throughout his career as a Laker is not as good as when he shoots less. It's a considerably lesser winning percentage. Funny thing is they were on a 2gm winning streak and guess how many FGA he took?

Kobe finished 8-25fg now think about what you posted a couple posts back...he got hot late right.... that means at one point during the game he was like 2-19fg

You realize how bad that is and yet you want to site Howard missing free throws late because the game happened to be close?

Dwight still trying to be Shaq. Damn shame!

Can't root for the Celts.

Im not rooting for or against most teams as I just believe the KNicks take care of business they make their own path to a good seeding.

Still with all that, the game was 90-90 with under 2mins left and they went to Howard and he got fouled and couldn't hit FT's

Nash will get Howard, Pau and Kobe involved. But the game was right there for the Lakers to win. They played well defensively. 90-90 when Howard missed FT'a and the Lakers didn't score again losing 99-90. If the ball was in Kobe or Nash's hands instead of Howard they might've won

If Kobe shot better the Lakers might have had the lead like they had at halftime and maybe they don't go to Howard late as the Heat game planned that way later in the game. Making 5 shots from a 3-17fg performance prior to, while missing 3 more shots is not what I would call in any way shape of form making up for the overall chitty performance. Matter of fact a better way of looking at it, the Lakers were always in the game in spite of Kobe but the times they went to him 25 he shot like Ronnie Brewer.
