    The Lakers need more ball movement. The best way to attack the Celtics defense is by moving the ball before their rotations get there. The ball can move much faster than any player can on his feet. Because the Lakers are not moving the ball around, they are playing into exactly what the Celtics want from them.

    the lakers lost cause they don't play defense. Kobe gives Rondo all the room he wants. Fisher, gasol and kobe were literally standing around watching at some points in g4 and 5. after every pick they do very poor switches. It seems like when they lose their guy they go "oh well, that's it then, my job's done"
    Whatever's going wrong for them offensively, kobe can make up for it singlehandedly, even if it's on 40% shooting. They just can't let the celts (with Ray being mia btw) score over 50%

    The '08 team was better than this year's team. That isn't even debatable.
    In fact, it actually supports your previous statement. He's just too stupid to understand it and that's what typically is to be expected of a Lakers fan.

    The fact that Rondo may be the best player on the team speaks more to the difference between the 2008 Celtics and the 2010 Celtics than it does the 2008 Rondo and the 2010 Rondo.

    The Lakers lost because of: lack of hustle. Lack of offense, minus Kobe. Lack of defensive intensity. Lack of desire. Lack of heart, minus Kobe. The Lakers just did not have the heart and soul to win that game. Man, if Kobe could clone himself, the Lakers would have won this series: 4-1.

    Come on, Lakers!! Feed off Kobe. Get your heart back!!!!

    This. Games 1 and 2 saw much more crisp ball movement with LA winning big in 1 and ahead in 2 in the 4th before folding. I expect: the offense to be less kobe-centric in game 6, better bench play, the celtics to keep it close until the 4th, LA with a spirited effort down the stretch to force game 7.
