Believe it or not I think Kobe is going to be the reason the Lakers lose the championship. This may be too premature, however, it seems like Kobe has completely got away from team ball. He hasn't relied on his teammates to help at all the passed game and has been hurling up difficult shots rather than looking for the easy shots. Basically he has gone away from Poopface. It could be the fact Andrew Bynum is hurt, and Ron Artest and Lamar Odom have been MIA, and his bench is awful, but when Kobe had a high assist number the Celtics were losing. It's almost to the point where Kobe is turning into the Kobe of old and only sees himself as he brings the ball up the court.
Another reason is a mental factor that I think his players are getting sick of. You see Kobe screaming at his teammates after a bad play and Kobe say I want the Ball, I want to defend, all about me. This give his teammates no confidence and they get stiff once they need to make a big play.
Anyways, I guess we will see how it pans out. The Lakers are still favored to win this series in Vegas. Let's see how that works out.
