The Olympics made it very clear Kobe can
defend. When he wants to. He can be totally
disruptive on PG's all the way to 3's. But
on the Lakers in the playoffs, he does not have the luxury of
sitting out major parts of the game. The Laker guards
absolutely stink so far. The have no point. Kobe is
in a bind.

Lebron has Mo Williams and West. That helps a hell of a lot.
Two guys that can handle the ball and score.
