Interesting game analysis.

"Kobe blew it and choked last night?
still, he kept the Lakers from getting blown out?
I'm not sure both statements support each other.

Did kobe have a bad game in some critical areas?
you bet he did. Everybody should score 31 points
and have a bad night, but I would seriously doubt he will
as you say "keep up this kind of play" or as
you would describe it keep up "kobe ball".

Since Kobe scored just 10 points in the second half,
went only 4 of 15 from the field after the first quarter
somebody had to be keeping the Lakers in the game.
That would be the rest of the team. So this idea
that Kobe is keeping the lakers from playing team ball
is IMO inaccurate.

I will agree "Orlando shot lights out.
No doubt that and bad defense is why they won the game.
As one articled described it For a while, it
appeared the Magic couldn’t or wouldn’t miss.
From 20 feet, swish. From 10 feet, nothing but net.
Lay ups, runners, banks, pull-ups, didn’t matter.
You name it, if it went up, more times than not it went in.

What will be interesting is to see weather the Magic can
sustain that kind of game. My guess is no. But it will be
an interesting game 4.
