This one hurt.
This whole fucking, "Kobe takes the last shot in the waning moments regardless of anything" is bullshit and needs to stop. They should run an easier play inside through Bynum or Gasol or have Kobe be aggressive and drive to the hoop rather than take some bullshit circus shot he'll make 1/9-10 times. The shots OKC made to get the lead were easy breaks to the inside and they knew it would run through Kobe so their defense held.
Steve Blake missing that wide open three just kills me because you know Fish lives for those moments. I don't fault him for taking it considering how wide open it was but he's just got to make those for the team to be more than a second round team.
I'm pessimistic about the series but if they defend their home court I think it'll be interesting.
