"he didn't play good defense the other night" This is specious reasoning; over the course of the entire season, Kobe is a first tean defensive player. In fact, hmmmmmmm..I believe he was voted first team this year.

Lose my cool??? Don't think I did that...simply stated that I don't like his defense - and it's not just one game...in this series, it's been every game...whoever he is guarding consistently goes back-door on him and gets easy shots...Larry Brown knows this and is exploiting it...and as far as being "voted" first team defensive team - please...you should know that those "votes" are about popularity - not necessarily actual facts...Kobe is a tremendous scorer and very acrobatic - but defense??? I think Detroit is showing him what real defense is...

There's nothing wrong with Kobe's defense. The reason the Lakers are down and out is they have been outrebounded on both the defensive and offensive boards.
