I think its funny how you keep saying if you take Kobe off the Lakers they have nothing...while it may or may not be true, they have Kobe, so whats the point of saying it?
And of course he's going to get the calls, thats just the way it works. The superstars always get the calls. You can't complain about that shit, your team just has to overcome it. It may suck to hear, but its true.
Oh and as far as your quoted post, The Lakers were up by maybe 9 points or so to begin the 4th quarter, not an insurmountable lead at all. They quickly got called for 6 fouls and Houston was in the Bonus for the rest of the game....If you dont think that was to the Lakers disadvantage in that circumstance then you are and idiot.
