I'm actually rooting for the Lakers in this series, but ESPN's Kobe-worship makes me ill. ESPN.com is running a Marc Stein piece right now that says basically that after this loss, Kobe has the Suns right where he wants them. The Lakers were "willing to sacrifice this game" apparently. It seems Kobe is so great he gave up his own game to get his team-mates involved (despite his 7-21 shooting), so now the Lakers are primed for an upset. Hey, lets just give Kobe the trophy and finals MVP now. Wow, he willingly only scored 22 points on 21 shots in a loss to help his team? What a player!
