Only a Hollywood script could have predicted this type of ending. With 3 and half minutes left in game 4 of the Utah-Lakers series, Utah was leading by 12 points, many counted us out but Derek Fisher, the clutch player that he is took over with 3 straight 3 pointers, scored the last 10 Lakers point and reduced the lead to two. Early in the game Kobe twitched his back, and the competitor that he is, he forced the issue, he kept shooting and kept missing. He usually averages 18 attempts a game but on this one he shot the ball 33 times. In the last seconds, from an Odom inbound (baseline) Kobe got the ball and tried to lay it in, fortunately Odom got the rebound, tied the game and forced an overtime.
I truly believe Bryant should have sat the rest of the game because he ended up costing us the game, I'm a Kobe fan but this time I got to tell it like it is. It was obvious that his back was messing up his shots, The Lakers never went back to Odom or Gasol (they had a huge game). Anyway we're going back to L.A, Kobe has until Wednesday to fix his back and we'll finish the series in Utah by winning there too.
I know somebody (Kev) who doesn't share my vision and who is praying to see my Lakers eliminated. Come back to your senses Cuz!
Sidenote: Turiaf was ejected early in the game for a flagrant foul, it was a hard foul, it looked only bad because of how that Utah kid Ronnie Price landed on the floor (face first), later in the game he had a huge block on Walton. San Antonio tied also the series with New Orleans (2-2).
