hopefully kobe's 4th quarter performance will inspire players like bynum and pau to start manning up
and barnes to play smarter. i dont blame him for a lot of those 3's, but there were 2 very suspect one's tonight, one he even airballed like 5 seconds in the shotclock. kobe airballed his 1st three of the night too.
That was the worst possible 3 he could have taken too. He was fully intent on passing to Bynum in the post but Harrington came off and dared Barnes to shoot. Barnes shot that with zero rhythm and and the intent to pass in mind so it's no wonder he airballed.
It's just all in his head now. He has put in the extra work to get his 3 ball going but the mental part is the hardest to hurdle.
