What Else Can I Say?

Screw it. I decided to write this. Now, the Lakers have blown 2 games late, and instead of a potential 3-1 lead, they're down 3-1. A lot of finger-pointing has gone on tonight's game, especially at Pau and Kobe. Now, people have said, "Kobe's ball hogging cost them the game." Fuck that. That was the least of their problems in the 4th quarter. He played pretty well up to that point, so I don't completely blame him for shooting, and I thought he got a couple of good looks, and that a few of those shots would go in. Or, "Pau made a dumbass pass at the end." Nope. It wasn't that either. Kobe was right, to a point, by saying Pau lacked assertiveness and aggressiveness on the offensive end. Those two issues contributed to the loss, but that is only the beginning of this. One of the oldest cliches in sports is, "You win as a team, you lose as a team," and that is exactly what the fuck the Lakers did. They let a 13 point lead go, mainly due to bad defense and allowing OKC to get to the line and shoot 10-15 from the floor in the 4th. Also, the Thunder did a good job, especially Perkins and Ibaka, at closing off Bynum and Gasol down the stretch, forcing Kobe. I could easily single out individual players, but to me, that's just a cop-out. So, for anyone saying "Kobe should stop hogging the ball" or "Pau made a stupid play," just shut the fuck up now. There's 5 dudes on a court, not just 1. Get that straight, if you wanna assign blame to anyone.
