I'm not really a Kobe fan...but his performance tonite was better than his 81pt nite....by far! The Lakers, who are decimated by injury and lack of focus, needed every one of Kobes' clutch 3's. He was unconscious tonite.....at the near end of game turning in the air while being double-teamed in the corner, and draining the shot amazingly. If Buss could stay out of the Poker Rooms long enough to oversee a decent trade and good draft, the Lakers could be looking at a better future!
