Tonight I had the chance to watch the second half of the Lakers/Clippers game. When Kobe is on, it's a beautiful thing to watch. His shot is just pretty. When he took that shot tonight to ice the game, you knew it was going in before he even shot it. He has made a big shot like that in three of the Lakers' past four games, and in the other one he scored 40; a big, clutch shot like that wasn't needed. Sure, there are a few players in the league right now that put up better overall numbers than Kobe. The list is short. Kobe is the leading scorer in the league right now, but Lebron, Durant, and Kevin Love are filling up stat sheets. That being said, I would rather have Kobe on my team taking the decisive shot in game 7 of the NBA Finals. Until that changes, it's still Kobe's league. Until Lebron or KD prove themselves on the biggest stage, it's still Kobe's league.
On a different note, I miss D-Rose. The word is that he'll be back for tomorrow night's game against the Celtics. Hopefully he can stay healthy so that his name can be added to the above-mentioned list of Kobe-challengers. Is anyone else as psyched as I am for this year's playoffs?
That's my take for the day.
