Kobe Bryant Could Not Be STOPPED In The 2009 Playoffs 😤🐐 | COMPLETE Highlights

[Applause] while the Jazz have struggled on the road Lakers have been unbelievable at home 36 and5 for the Lakers arza for three that’s good Trevor arza having the best season of his career secondly Kobe Bryant is not playing Ronnie Brewer for any type of jump shot is sagging off into the post

Making entry passes difficult both teams A little sloppy Here Comes Bryan kicks it out arza open for three puts it in two three-pointers for Trevor arza there’s Brown Mark what’s it like getting your first real playoff action how much how nervous do you get I’m Shannon Brown and I’m playing alongside

Of Kobe Bryant and Pal Gasol and Andrew bam I’m not nervous at all I’m feeling awfully good count it and a foul and find him with a chance for a three-point play willby Bryant Brown open that’s go another three there’s the young man’s first playoff points but that’s exactly

What I’m talking about no need to to be nervous because you’re going to get open lookss off of playing with great players Williams brings it up quick Tempo here early tried to draw the foul couldn’t get it to go this quick Temple who does it favor Jeff well I think it favors La

They have more players as Shannon Brown does a nice job in finding Pala Brant with a slow start three turnovers but really very good get his teammate the ball ear this time he does it himself and a lead up to eight there’s Kobe Bryant Bryant drills

It Kobe Bryant has just five points but the Lakers are up by 16 just over three and a half to go here in the second R trying to stay with Kobe Bryant Bryant gets past him flips it up puts it in half gorgeous move from Kobe Bryant and Brewers thinking uh-oh I I

Know that look I recognize the look he has his foot on the gas pedal Bryant able to get into the seams to get the fast Brian here in the MVP chance it’s the lowest scoring average he’s had in 5 years this year yet the team finished

With the 65 wins third best in franchise history and they just slaughtered the wests last year of course it was such a tight finish to who have the top seed this year they won the west by 11 games and the lead is now Bon to 18 pal Gasol’s F five International player

All coming up to two- mobile halftime report I bet you his brother Mark who the center for the Grizzlies is on that list y probably is and he’s here today Calderone Rudy Fernandez oh it’s Countryman yeah it’s all the spamers Ricky Rubio Bryant tough shot drills

It how good is Kobe Bryant can shield for almost the entire half looking to get other guys involved and when he wants to says okay time for me to put the is the bed turns it on offensively and takes over time and time again dby was saying the other day how

The team is ready they’re healthy just as we wish there were a couple more guys who were angrier said we have a lot of nice guys on this team need to be angry like Derek fer and I D papovich said earlier this year that he just he has the same ferocity as Michael

Jordan Luke Walton from downtown the fifth three-pointer for the Lakers in the by 22 Boer can’t get it to go Collins kept it alive but here comes Fisher that was good offense there by Utah very good unselfishness by cor Fischer off the dribble puts it in this is second field goal you almost

Get the feeling that Kobe Bryant is just waiting to take over this ball game so if you’re the Lakers you have a a strong sense of security missed the shot drew the foul Williams five on the shot back block good defense from odm nice pass he never panics down the stretch

With those type of plays a guy plays with such great bounce I mean he is tough to defend incredible speaking of incredible ruler right on Kobe [Applause] Bryant Josh pow first minutes first shot first points for Darren Williams that’s his 16th assist to play off career high

Kobe Bryan Nails it game two of the series will be Tuesday right back here at the Staple Center and then it shifts to Utah where the Jazz are a different team Kobe Bryant two-pointer for Bryant couple of buckets and it’s right back up to [Applause] 13 Ryan it’s inside oh what a finish

From kobby Bryant and a foul throws it down in the face of Paul mside my goodness switching the pick and roll you allow him to turn the corner M goes that man milap gets posterized I don’t know where he fouled him but kobby Bryant to the chance of

MVP will go to the free throw line as’s the Lakers back up by [Applause] 11 Lakers will take game one of this best of seven series continue their home court Donan the crowd is chanting as arza hits a three crowd is Channing we want tacos and a terrific

Performance from the Lakers let the Lakers take game one look at the McDonald’s starting lineups the Jazz with the the same group that started game one with me Ur still out with the hamstring injury so Kyle cver and Jaren Collins are in the starting lineup and

The Lakers going with Derek fiser to the drive and Pal Gasol add to that Laker lead well that’s one bright spot in this early part of this game for the Utah Jazz is to try to get Darren Williams going early struggled in game one four of 14 from the field ryant for three

Nice pass Milsap from Williams and what did Phil Jackson say the one thing that he’s worried about is dribble penetration by Darren Williams and right there gets into the teeth of the defense map with a nice finish Gasol wide open and Boozer shoots over Gasol it’s rebounded by bride he thought he was

Foul he’s staring at the official H mccuin and Kobe doesn’t have a point ran around Milsap nice pass for odm you got to take one or the other away either you going to let Kobe go for 3540 but he can’t get 10 of 12 assists here’s koleno rebounded by [Applause]

Bryant the Lakers 65 wins during the regular season 65 and 17 Brown for three Jam Brown showing confidence opens up at 11 Point Laker lead Lakers get it down in a hurry Utah did get back four and a half left first half Bryant with the

Step it catch in the foul he went around miles his called for the personal so many similarities to the mindset of Michael Jordan who would kind of feel the game sometimes would come out firing away oh that’s a very favorable hop for Bryant on the free throw three-point

Play for right Lakers have a 15-point lead with just under four to go in this half and T gas adds to that shot clock and 10 arza off the Fate knocks out of three Trevor ARA showing the entire repertoire in games one and two he now has 10 points following the career playoff high 21 in game number one Lakers have not scored in over 4 minutes going back to the final stages of the first half and

That streak ends as Kobe Bryant is able to knock it down think of the Lakers you think of Jeff you think of the Knicks as Kobe Bryant thinks of buckets using the glass right there BR tried to put it between the legs R has done a nice job on him not

Going for the fake and then Brian forces and hits oh are you kidding [Applause] me I mean you if I’m Ronnie Brewer it’s almost like you got to throw in the towel that that is not right you can not play Kobe Bryant any better than this

Look at the footwork on both ends look at the defense and doesn’t pick up that pivot uses the spin move that doesn’t get him all right I’ll just fade back and knock down this 21-footer for Darren Williams will get arrest CJ Miles is back on the floor here’s shanon Brown

That’s a three for brown well you look at the lineup minus Darren Williams this is a lineup That is quick can put points on the board to try to get back in if you’re the Utah Jazz harby Bryant with that running hook here’s Bryant it counts of a foul off the

Double team Bryant able to go glass and heads to the line Lakers up 111 106 as we approach a minute remaining on the fourth here is Bryant yes it’s a seven-point Laker lead fer just dribbles it out the Lakers in a solid performance defeat the Jazz

119 to 109 for the Lakers well they stay the same and Kobe Bryant has had a number of prolific games here in Salt Lake City for the Jazz one lineup change Andre Keno will start at the small forward spot instead of Kyle corver however MTO c will sit out once again

Due to that strained right hamstring so now P gal is at the center position nice kick and roll between Bryant and Gasol nice passing again but no sack came up short and here comes fiser you need to make those little bunnies if you’re going to be successful against the [Applause]

Lakers pretty exchange and OD him with the Finish from down town so the Lakers have taken a 10-7 lead Lakers down by five just under five left first half here Bri got the step and scores on the reverse oh you said that whole first quarter he was looking

To set everyone up and even though that’s his first field goal in this game look like Kobe’s looking to be a little bit more aggressive offensively now Mark odm is turned back kept Alive by arza and here’s Bryant with a deep three so Kobe gets right to it

KOLO and it’s picked up by Bryant now these fans are not in it into it like they were in that first quarter Mar they’re kind of sitting on their hands waiting for the other shoe a drop as Lamar Odum with the nice assist from Kobe Bryant as the

Lakers Take the Lead gers tied at 44 Bryant so Kobe Bryant opening up very active at the offensive end hit a three now the two and I like the durability of Kobe played in all 82 games last season 21 during the playoffs when they went to the finals he had his Team USA

Commitment which they won gold medal as Kobe knocks down another shot in China and then he played in all 82 games this year and obviously this is his third during the playoffs and I spoke with his trainer Tim brover and he said look Kobe normally takes one month off after the

Season and then he starts lifting weights and then he’ll start his one a days sometimes two a days their goal is to be as Darren Williams gets fouled going to the hole his goal is to have Kobe Bryant at 95% going into labor day and most NBA

Players are just picking up a basketball right after Labor Day so you see why Kobe Bryant is so far ahead of the field of the rest of the competitors in this league is because he puts his time and his hours during the summer here’s arza for three Trevor arza hearing it from

The Laker portion of this crowd 11 15 remaining on the fourth Bryant off the double gets it to ELA now single cover Bryant downo to odm and Kobe took advantage as they came with the double and odm was wide open but game was tied at

82 with a minute left in the fourth got clock down to six Williams inside booer scores and the jazs have a two-point lead good job against Bryant but he gets to the inbound pass somehow working the Baseline was able to get to it and the game is tied how did the most dangerous

Man on the floor for the Lakers end up with an uncontested layup Boer what a move H to step on to SA so the Jazz up by two and the Lakers will talk it over Bryan trying to lose Brewer on the screen here’s Kobe sets it

Up for Gasol and he Stuffs the game is tied at 86 and Jerry Sloan takes a timeout and I would assume you try to hold the ball for as long as possible you don’t want the Lakers to have an opportunity after this you take the last shot yeah Brewer

Inbounds Williams plays the clock out of seven out to six out of four three Williams yes with 2.2 to go Daron Williams has given the Jazz a twoo lead Kobe over at The Far Side here’s Kobe for the win the Utah ja hold on and defeat the Los Angeles Lakers

88- 86 and a terrific game here in Salt Lake City Kobe defended by Brewer and we may have our answer early here tonight now gasau spinning on okur eight to shoot Kobe with a shot fake goes by Brewer and hits another one two jumpers already for Kobe driving again BS it in this

Time wow what a start for Kobe Kobe again he’s got all nine for the Lakers I think we have our answer it’s the Assassin who showed up this evening koleno defending Kobe on this trip to no avail he wants the foul call as well he’s got all 11 for the waers and he

Just pointed at the crowd remember this is a crowd that has been known to say some harsh things to opposing players and Kobe as he came up the floor looked to our side of the floor and pointed at the F booer talk about your uncontested look missed the elbow jumper B him the

Rebound B him feels the majority of his foul trouble has been offensive fouls so people are getting to the spot quicker than him and luring him into charges Kobe just shredding the Utah defense already 10 points seven rebounds for Boozer Kobe what are he going to do what

Are you going to do absolutely you can’t guard that reor arza by the way back on the bench after twisting that ankle should return Kobe with a reverse 17 for Kobe Bryant immediate double team on Cob fiser how about the arc on that jumper another great Coach Jerry Sloan on the other side for the Jazz who’s going into the Hall of Fame this year Kobe again Utah on the offensive glass out rebounding the Lakers 7 to1 but none of that matters if Kobe keeps knocking down

Shots he’s got 22 Kobe fading away 26 he is making Unstoppable unblockable shots there’s nothing Ronnie Brewer can do now this is the end that jazz have got to get better at in this p in again 66 and 62 points respectively KOB is just ridiculous just inside the arc after

Dribbling between his legs two or three times with the shot clock running down never in doubt yeah remember around Christmas time Magic Johnson had Tel confs and he said if you want to win championships defense never goes out a stop it’s about that end for the Lakers

I think wow he just keeps knocking him down right in Brewers Grill tough contested long two-point jumpers for Kobe Bryant who’s now got 30 Kobe again defended by Brewer again Kobe with 30 32 for Kobe 14 out of 17 this this is as much about will as it

Is skill right now Kobe usually has a you know an idea of how he wants to attack and you know usually i’ anticipate him coming out tonight and playing you know with h ter simply because he had a game that you know you know he did not enjoy none of us enjoy

It um but his facilitating facilitating that happened in game two is really the spark that this team thrives on it gets the big guys easy shots it it’s our three-point Shooters open looks um and you know just goes to show that he doesn’t have to score Brewer on Kobe two more

36 for Kobe Bryan and there hasn’t been one smile on his face for 1 millisecond so far here tonight he’s had a Killer Instinct from the moment it began you know Cleveland’s watching LeBron James knows everything that goes on in this league oh come on this is getting

Outrageous that’s not even fair St there he had absolutely no choice but to double pump jump up in the air at the end of the shot clock fade away and take a high degree of difficulty shot he knocked it down 16 out of 22 for Kobe 38 points this is not

Fair yeah he’s making shots like this and this is this is how hard the defender’s working I mean Brewer is sticking in his grill he’s as close as you can be boy okay that crossover that what did that look like remember the shot Michael hit to it against Utah

Against Utah and the final seconds will tick away as Brewer gets the jam another assist for Williams but it’s the Los Angeles Lakers in impressive fashion in a hostile Road environment who will go up three games to one and look to close out the jazz on Monday night and the

Starting fives are going to look similar to what we saw in the last game because m oor is going to be back and Lamar OD him as well for the Lakers and with good reason not only 10 points 15 rebounds but Lamar led the Lakers on the boards

And in the assist category as well was six and to start the game the Jazz start out with pinko on Kobe instead of brw good little pass Trevor he’s on the assist I like it the run on the Baseline of Kobe on the angle going to be

Williams for bre real brick and arza tapped it away from Brewer quickly ahead Kobe has piled this easy two on the dunp 1412 Milsap up against Andrew bidm he’s going to have some space what a Breck didn’t get the rim Lamar on the push nobody accounts for Kobe got him

Burn him 3226 why would you account for number 24 he can’t shoot Kobe leaves miles and goes to the line looking for the three-point play he lulled him to sleep a little bit didn’t he yeah then a change of Direction Kobe Wheeling right sco all

The way to the rack Lakers by 10 Kobe has four about a 7 and 1/2 second difference between the Jack the game clock Kobe saw a grease and on the deflection he’s got it he’s got to go up he willing to Fall Away do you believe

It just the way he drew it up he knew it too he had to get it away in a hurry Lakers by 13 deep at the clock F go inside the AR to get to the rim but it did and Brewer read it well he tracked it down Second Chance opportunity now

And Kobe got over denying o no balance on the floor they’ll get it inside Carlos Boer all comes away with it a nightmare so far for Boer fish was under it but still he’s got to get that one Kobe step through off the glass 7153 creative wasn’t it little jump Hook by

Co that’s nice Pingo real short leaking out is Kobe he’s Tri by jabby he’ll save it though nobody stops him do you believe it Kobe 7355 all tangled up with Steve jabby talk about recovery speed the shot clock deep three got it how deep man oh man

7658 not too deep in the water for him nothing too deep in the water for him Brewer got Kobe out of position down in the paint does he throw it away yes Sasha save it behind his back for Kobe the take by Gasol how about that pass 20-point

Lakers lead and they love it it Staples so Kobe stays out there with four reserves extra Pat Shannon Brown and Sasha got it over Brewer somehow someway Kobe on the three 8566 out that one was deeper than the the other one R was waiting man on top

Of the basketball was Sasha a block shot on his way down well time first block shot of his career the Kobe the size Advantage face up game with Josh po don’t have to worry he not only makes him with his right hand but as we both

Points for the Lakers after having only 10 in the first game so you can see the Speed game of the Lakers if they go on to win will be the difference Bader watching Kobe scooping driving and putting it in how in the world did he do

That he passed to himself off the backb that was that was a plann play Kevin I’ve seen him do that a lot he’s got 40 talk about a smart player not only he a brilliant player but he’s a brilliant mind for this game big play and you see

Kobe said I’m not letting us lose tonight so this series will be tied at 111 going back to Houston for games three and four the Lakers had to win tonight this would have been tough going back down two games to Houston when you look at that Jeff where does that make

Them a better team I obviously Bam’s a terrific player as Bryant on the pull-up jumper and that’s good going be fun watching B A and Bryant on the switch arest guards him and Bryant knocks it down skola has it knocked [Applause] away Bryant again on the pullup kobby

Bryant that’s a two-pointer his foot on the line the M would have did his job coming off help and blocking a shot is the perimeter guys that now have the responsibility of putting the body on SC OB be Bryant it’s the nice throw he’s four for five to start our test another

Three good boxing out from OD very good pass by Yao Ming off the dribble as the double came late Brian oh Brian on fire to start he’s got 11 points already Kobe Bryant puts it in a three-pointer he’s got 14 already Bryant quickly out Walton will try a three-pointer that’s good Luke

Walton back to back jumpers and the Lakers go up by four now main Drive ball knocked away well Mike I talked to a Rockets assistant Jack sikman at the half and he said you know what we just got to settle down there was a lot of

Emotion in the arena in that first half we were active on defense but made way too many mistakes he said the one thing that they have to do in this third quarter is to play solid D and get Yao involved early so far they’ve tried to

Do that but with no results well it certainly was emotional start he got block kobby Bryant with the rejection on the help defense well this is just a great help defense play Yao’s got to dunk that ball but Bryant just like Dwayne Wade great coming from the weak

Side to block shots as a guard our test is now on Kobe Bryant those two got into it obviously in game two Riot the runner tough shot won’t go ball tip still alive and put in I think B him is the one to tipped it in either

By him or Bryant actually I believe it was the left hand of Kobe Bryant active chasing his own shot Ryan hesitation out to odm wide openen three does it again Lamar odm his second three-pointer of the game and it’s a 13-point Laker lead excellent baldon a from marest briyan

Has to come outside to get it drives fires along three it’s good at the buzzer Kobe Bryant Nails the three-pointer b a back on Kobe Bryant fic quick catch and shoot knocks down the three Lakers from downtown nine of 17 Ryan shot clock at four Ryan the drive

The ball fake misses it gets the rebound banks in the follow 23 for Kobe Bryant and he paid the price for that one wafer has eight points here in the fourth quarter he’s been doing the scoring for it Kobe Bryant block still put it in

Bader got a piece of it and Bryant with his strength back it in how about this playm Mark well you understand Kobe understands hey this is game winning time actually no foul that’s all ball by Shane B and the strength of Kobe Bryant lock down to three Gasol the drive kicks

It out Bryant just gets it off in time and puts it in a three-pointer for Kobe Bryant as the shot clock expires waer brings it up that won’t go hold of the rebound and that’ll do it Lakers take a 2-1 lead and regain the home court advantage a very

Difficult task has become even that much more difficult for the Houston Rockets but they’re expected to have a capacity crowd behind them this afternoon at the Toyota Center as they try and get back even with Kobe Bryant and the Lakers who leave this best of seven series two

Games to one Kobe Bryant little shaking bak and the rockets get on the board sh the Lakers took them three and A2 minutes to get their first points our test can’t get it to go our test really struggling shooting the ball in the second half Friday night especially from pre-point

Range well he takes so many difficult shots and that was one coming as Bryant knocked it in coming off an out of bounds play with a full clock and there’s no fear of losing you don’t go out there afraid of what may happen you play the game to the best of your

Ability and then you live with the result Tomy Bryan drills a three-pointer aress gets inside left hand M go aress trying to force things a bit there’s plenty of contact’s Brant lost his dribble gets it back lost it again gets it back again and he’s looking at dicka like please

Blow your whistle I don’t think he’s thinking please though Bryant pass Gasol and B Gasol lays it in and a technical foul on Kobe Bryant he was looking at theeta and then as they went down the floor he gave him a couple of words about not making the

Call sh clock winding down and in the face Bryant puts it in the amazing thing that you cannot play better defense than Shane bad just played against KOB arza good look for three kns it down he just continues to hit some big shots for this

Team’s he is a large man trying to do something that has never been done before which is be a full-time player with a a role at both ends the real big guys have always been the thin guys on Mark eat who just played basically at the defensive end of the floor this

Guy’s trying to be an offensive for which has not been done as Brian hits another pup unfortunately I feel he’s always going to have some type of lower leg injury to deal with Brooks three won’t go skola trying to keep it alive but arza nice job this an important Run

For the Rockets you want to close out this half you don’t want have all that work done from nothing will be Brian oh Brian has been superb now six of 10 from the field our test for three won’t go B here the rebound taken away by Kobe

Bryant he cut it back to Bryan that’s his fourth steel a crossover the drive left hand it puts it in Sensational move from Kobe Bryant scan fakes out to ESS Lowry spots up for three and the rebound Kobe Bryant but how many open looks how many open looks

Are the Lakers going to give up before they say hey we got to get stops and we have to have multiple effort vtic that’s a three-pointer Lakers would like to see ruic get on track he has really struggled shooting in the postseason Ry after Farmar Farmar sets

And knocks it down but what it showed was breakdowns right away for the Lakers defensively How could a guy hurt us they allowed him to step in the Rhythm jump buic that’s a three Dr buic and all of a sudden it’s 16 has run to four minutes to go a brilliant team

Performance with some superb individual play as well this conference semifinal all tied up at two games a piece a beautiful dusk in downtown Los Angeles and the Setting Sun finds the beaches growing empty as the Staple Center welcomes another sellout crowd for the important game five in this Western Conference semi-final with

The Houston Rockets and the Los Angeles Lakers tied in two wins a piece Kobe screen by bam on B pick and roll with B inside over hey and so bham has started D this game two and2 with four well they ended the game well the other night

Gasol had 18 in the fourth quarter although it was in garbage time I think he felt like he started finding where his rhythm was coming offensively and here is Kobe Bryant and look out for him he had 15 the other night the last time he had a 15-point playoff game was in

2007 against the Phoenix Suns he came back with a quiet 45 the next night so here’s a shot by our test the late closed by arza and the rebound by Kobe Bryant picks up his second rebound saw with the lead block into scol and right to the r goes Kobe

Bryant Kobe and our test Kobe Bryant has eight points to start the game and the Lakers have a two-point lead Ed a and Kobe Bryant shot clock down to six Kobe has started this game four of five the first player in double figures for the Lakers of The Rock tonight

Barmar is in for Fisher that was the only change shot clock is down to 10 Gasol watching our test into skola and picked up by Kobe Bryant adier picks him up defensively Kobe Kobe Bryant’s got 12 Phil Jackson likes Shannon brownon well yeah it’s it’s tough to get him uh playing time

You got three point guards you’re trying to get playing time for good s by hay into the rack pow Gasol with 11 points pow is on our test [Applause] B him is blocking the paint now the quick double kned away another Houston turnover wton got a hand on it that’s

Eight turnovers for Houston it’s Bryant in the bti a Kobe Bryant has put in 15 points and dug points in the paint huge for him tonight so far first quarter offensive Lakers leading to better defense all the things you talk about test with the two with an acrobatic shot in Kobe

Bryant with the game high 7 points I tell you those plays like that always look good when you got a Kobe that can make those kind of shots screen by cook on Brown that opens up the three by Brooks The Rebound by Luke Walton that’s number four for

Luke Kobe over Bader with three Kobe Bryant has got 20 points in 12 shots Kobe sandwich over SK in back of him was Bader Kobe Bryant with 22 quick trap on Kobe with Hayes and B orza B SLS count Trevor arza the boy has La been dug opportunistic when those turnovers

Have occurred well you know the other day they they left the Houston after that game four and uh not a lot of nice things said about the way they approached that game and uh lack of energy is Kobe Bryant knocks down another jump shot but they have come

Back tonight and I like what Kobe says you know no matter whether you win by 30 lose by 30 every game is a separate entity in the playoffs and you move on and you make your adjustments and we see the Lakers tonight to have done that and

They’re up 31 the Lakers have gone up three games to two over the Houston Rockets welcome to Houston Texas and game six of the Western Conference semifinals Lakers looking to win in advance but Shane Bader and the rockets have a plan for assuring a game seven

Bryant the drive T shot Bryan arest gets inside by the drive Brooks back to skoler up top B A just gets it off blocked by Bryant and a 24se second violation about three passes too many for the rets test continues to struggle from [Applause] downtown fer and again it comes back to this

Front Court toughness if you have people who want to protect the basket you you have a chance if you don’t you have no chance kobby Bryant good aggressive move right there you know but I got a problem with what Phil Jackson just said it’s not about making or missing shots

It’s about being thoroughly outplayed and not stepping up to the challenge as Bryant knocks down the shot interesting that uh as Kobe Bryant knocks it down Mr white Howard had a huge game after all the controversy last couple of days down with the Orlando Magic Mark I don’t know

If you’re surprised but I’m surprised Jordan Farm Mar only has played a little bit over 5 minutes in this game I thought he was playing very very well and gave La a good spark ran with a quick spark there pmer had eight points in that three time Scola there’s that spin move reverse

Back it in 18 for L skoler that’s just bad defense that is awful defense and our test trying to walk away from Kobe Bryant after the two and a technical foul call on Kobe Bryant Bryant and arest banged into each other Artest was upset and he kind of

Ran away from the situation as opposed to confronting [Applause] Bryant I don’t know if that’s a little bit of an over reaction from our test this is I have a huge problem with this what is the technical foul for now several years ago as David Stern after

The braw at the palace they really cracked out on that stuff it’s something was talked about now the question is have they gone too far had they let start and call it too tight it’s something the NBA constantly monitors and address the cry and throws it down

Because it seems in these playoffs what you guys talk about is true maybe it’s getting too much in terms of trying to police Bader trying to guard Bryant back out arza open for three hits it again how about Trevor Reza from three-point range in the playoffs at 53% Bryant

Looking Bader right on top of him Bryant hits the three-pointer and it’s a six-point game by him to Bryant Kobe Bryant lifts up puts it in 23 for Kobe Bryant theol trying to find some room back to Bryan inside gets it to [Applause] go sa Farmar rushed it arza comes up

With a offensive for shot clock did not reset Farmar will try a three that’s good Gordon Farmar strong play Off the Bench 11 points in 10 minutes R the drive tried to back it tipped in by gou the Rockets wanted offensive interference by the naked eye looked

Like the ball may have cleared the cylinder how about this move from Kobe Bryant it’s a brand new move called the jersey in the mouth keeps it in his mouth dribble penetration and releases this is it upon the release of the shot Lakers they have to find a way maybe it’s play defense

With the jersey in your [Applause] mouth 14-point game with two and a half to go think about the production the Rockets have gotten from their power forward tonight as Bryant bangs it in the Rockets will dribble this one out an unlikely game seven in this Western Conference semifinals a wacky

Series and the Houston Rockets another tremendous performance at home game seven coming up on Sunday and for the Lakers Andrew Bay who has struggle coming back from the knee problems and the KN surgery he is still in the starting lineup lamal RM both come off the bench skola blocked by

Gou the Laker defense has been really up and down in this series as Kobe Bryant drives and the first field goal of the game Brooks on the drive blocked by bham his second rejection and he gets it to Bryant Andrew bam sze making a difference here in the opening minutes arza for

Three haes unable to get the handle no but that’s the type of Defense you force Chuck Hayes to beat you as Fisher knocks down another Brooks inside pass by bam and Bam size has been huge defensively and that’s where Brooks has got to bounce past the

Ball he’s not big enough as Bryant pulls up and knocks it in Brooks isn’t big enough to throw it over defenders turn the Brooks leads to a slam by arza 21-point lead largest of the first half the so very aggressive right from the start Bryan good look that’s a three

Kobe Bryant from downtown Brooks on the drive left-handed won go ball tip by asso taking by Bryant looks just tooth L from the field that’s just buying him again using his Lim kobby Bryant a two-pointer lead back up to 22 skola on the drive blocked by briyan and gets a

Hold of it skola thought he was fouled arza from the corner lobs it to him as we said Lakers hopes of an NBA championship still alive as they survive against a reallyy tough Houston Rockets team and now advance to the Western Conference Finals a dominant blowout Victory here in game seven a

Beautiful day in Los Angeles as the NBA Playoffs continue they are down to four Cleveland and Orlando will play the Eastern Conference Finals starting in a couple of nights but tonight here at a soldout staple center it’s to Denver Nuggets visiting the Los Angeles Lakers people talked about during the regular

Season carel Anthony just averaging 14 points against this Laker team or you know going in that’s not going to happen in the postseason he’s a big time scorer big time scorer there gets it in on the second effort and the Lakers within six little flop there from Dante Jones

And Kobe Bryan able to put it in they try inside to Martin Martin can’t get it to go and Kobe Bryant comes down with it briyan on the pullup puts it that was a very poor choice by Dante Jones going for the steal against Bryant in transition Bryant double JR Smith is

In the game he’s guarding Kobe Bryant puts it in Kobe Bryant eight of the 14 points for the Lakers as Doris touched upon earlier in the N January of 08 who’s diagnosed with testicular cancer had surgery chemotherapy returned in March his doctor said he couldn’t believe how quickly he got back on the

Basketball court said his attitude was all part of it and then this year he responded with his best season of his NBA career as Kobe Bryant throws it down Lakers within one my mistake nuggets weren’t in the penalty so Lakers taken out of bounds Bryant open three knocks

It down and the Lakers within one Fer Ryan forces up the shot puts it in and a foul Pal Gasol was mad he felt he was open Tri didn’t get him the ball and took a contested shot but he may turn it into a three-point play Anthony stutter move gets inside feeds barttin for the

Slam over benga with 8.4 remaining they didn’t hold it for the final shot but they come away with two Ryan fiser for three bang so what I would like to see in this third period is the kind of defensive Pace we set in that first period

Allowing us to to dictate the terms of the game that won’t make him happy gentlemen absolutely not Bryant now with 20 Phillips tried to jam it in he thought he got hit instead a turnover for Denver Bryant lobs back to odm for the easy finish as Smith ready to come into the

Game offensive energy R backs it in three assists for Walton Off the Bench pass inside Martin blocked from behind I think it was odm and brown knocked to the ground hard he’s hurt there’s cler barel into him Smith long three won’t go pic tracks it down good

Hustle Brian obviously stays in the game looks inside for odm odm flips it up and inar odm’s been quiet tonight when they play good aggressive defense they are tough to stop as Brian hits a three and a lead back to two Anthony steps up three-pointer won go B him tips it to

Himself Lakers got got away with bad transition defense allowing Carmela anthon to step into a rhythm J Bryant takes it the Smith there’s the health defense gets away from that floats it up and in and a fou beautiful adjustment from Kobe Bryant and a chance for a three-point

Play Bryan falling away tough shot and gets it to go that hit the front of the rim and went forward fer brings it up JR Smith is back in the game for Denver briyan jump shot puts it in 34 got clock at h briyan on the drive Corner fiser three-pointer it’s good

Lakers Take the Lead I think if you’re Derek fiser you want to stay at home on Chanty Billow you see a reason trying to box him out this is the second rebound Kobe Bryant and the Lakers will win game one a beautiful evening in Los Angeles

And the home of the Lakers will be packed once again what a game they were treated to on Tuesday night for both the East and the West the Conference Finals starting off with a bang neither game decided until the final Buzzard as Orlando and La jumping

Out to one- nothing lead Lelo Anthony at least to start the game is going to be on Trevor Reza but George Carl telling us yesterday that he will be on Kobe Bryant a lot more than he was in game one Dante Jones on him now Bryant shakes him off and knocks it

Down theza for three he’s not just a Defender he’s really worked on his three-point shooting and he’s knocked down a couple of key ones in these playoffs johy bips just flips one up won’t go Lakers look to push two onone Bryant fiser Kobe Bryant count it and a

Foul Lakers sent in some of the bench the bench played very well in the first half of game one Luke Walton Sasha buic in Anthony to the basket misses knock loose ball picked up by Walton the nuggets with the more aggressive team they seem to be a step ahead in the

First half of game one that’s not the case here tonight Brian Banks it in lead is up to nine Walton spots up for three that won’t go fight for the rebound Anderson ball Falls to Kobe Bryant and Bryan having a big first quarter he’s got 12 Phillips returns Anthony Carter’s

Back in Kenyan Martin Kobe Bryant and Bryant now with 16 points briyan inside flips it up won’t go gets the rebound back up and and puts it in Bryan and Anthony once again putting on shows each with 20 points here early in the third Anthony that’s a three

Won’t go as Dante Jones falls down briyan ahead of the pack goes to arza arza count it and a foul Trevor arza releases gets a beautiful feed and he’s now six for six from the field Anthony on odm shck clock at seven Ryan drives inside the Finish Bryant for three that’s good hand

In his face knocks it down Kobe Bryant nearly lost it nearly travel Anthony on Bryant Bryant for three tie [Applause] game J.R Smith inside pass deflected stolen by arza he does it again oh one thing I will say if you’re Brant you have to find a way to get the basketball Anthony on

Him Kobe Bryant on the drive on the pullup puts it in tie game [Applause] again eight of his 32 here in the fourth quarter [Applause] Phillips on the drive gets inside wild pass man goes underneath finds Kenyan Martin who dumps it in and Denver regains the lead fiser gets it fiser for

Three one go rebound Bops and the nuggets have tied the series at one game of piece meanwhile for the Lakers again they’ve been here before certainly Kobe Bryant Derek fiser and some of the other veterans have been through the knows what it’s like here in the hostile

Environment and a key Jeff is that early hit you know Denver’s going to come out with so much energy bued by their home crowd and you just have to weather the storm sometimes the series has been interesting and that the team that jumps out to early lead has lost it by the end

Of the first half Kobe Bryant Maul by Jones they’ll call it the act of shooting Phillips to Martin they’re playing off Martin Anthony for three that won’t go Anthony despite the 34 points in game two was 0 for six from downtown inside pretty move from Kobe

Bryant Lakers back within one to me LA’s got to go back to getting Bryant the ball in the post fer gets inside and an easy two for Derek fish now the Lakers as we said best road team in the NBA during the regular season they’re two and three on

The road in the playoffs including their last two Road games all knocked out of bounds for the first time in NBA history the first four games of the Conference Finals two in the East two in the west all decided by three points or less all decided at the final buzzer on the last

Shot of the game either a miss or a make as Kobe Bryant Banks it [Applause] In Kobe Bryant knocks it down here are Smith guarding him now right nice feed there’s Brown slipped underneath the eight caught with his back to the play Phillips short Phillips hasn’t scored yet it’s only his first field goal attempt he has three assists Bryan to the basket pretty move Carter on [Applause]

Bryan drives in once again easy two getting away from the double team and they’ve gone away from the triangle they’ve gone more to Kobe Bryant isolation Bryant knocks it down Kobe Bryant now with 14 The Crow on its feet as we wind down the second quarter arza open that’s a three big shot there for Marza Derek fiser will bring it up fiser hit his first shot they need some kind of offense elsewhere B him quick move nice play from bham turnover Bryant got ahead of steam

Ahead of man miss oh I was going to say that came off the rim but it floats back in and the Lakers just like that have tied it but a half minute into the third end nuggets perhaps with the finest season in franchise history they equal the franchise wins in a regular season

With 54 they’ve made it to the Conference Finals they’ve never made an NBA Finals well this team is confident that they can win this series right now up seven here in game three Bryant wide open Nails the [Applause] three God getting on its feet they were

Time and time again lifts locks and loads he always say says there’s nothing better than The Sound of Silence hitting a big shot on the road long three air ball goes out of bounds Jones had a chance to touch it I think he thought it was deflected instead it’s slaker ball

They have to foul right away Jones letting Kobe and he fouls him as he knocks it away and the Lakers will seal this game if they hit their free throws right now some of the crowd starting to head for the exits and Kobe Bryant his second 40-point game of this series

He well in his decade Plus in this league he said he has never felt that level of exhaustion guys he had a full IV bag of fluid went right back to his hotel room and slept for 10 hours we asked him with the defenders in his grill all throughout this playoff series

Does he see those Defenders here’s what he had to say no I I don’t see him yeah I I feel him I where they’re at um but I I really don’t you know don’t see him in terms of you know distracting me from knocking the shot down he woke up guys about 5

Minutes before that team meeting at 10:30 so I have no idea how he showed up in terms of his clothing but Derek Fischer said hey he’s turned 30 it’s about time he feels what I feel guys well dor he said it was one of the biggest road winds he’s been a part of

And he said after the game his wife called and said watching on television he looked terrible Jeff doesn’t your wife do that after game’s L well hold on I don’t know about his wife but to Phil Jackson he looks beautiful it’s all in the eye of the

Beholder nuggets by seven despite the 0 for eight he got a nice comfortable lead in the opening period Brian gets the Aaron pass off of the flexion and knocks down the shot Phillips misses Thea with his sixth rebound the sa’s averaging 14 boards a game in the series Brian for three

That’s good not a two-pointer set his toes on the line Dr Brewing Kobe Bryant Fon gets up on him Bryant little stun a move on the drive to the baskets bank shot he puts it in at the buzzer beautiful play from Kobe Bryant and the Lakers get it to within

Shot Bryant knocks it down and a foul that’s the one he talked about earlier he doesn’t see the defender maybe feels him under three minutes remaining first half Kobe Bryant rattles it in a three-pointer hand down man down Bryant tough shot knocks it down Kobe Bryant now with 19 here in the

First half there’s Derek fiser Phillips is on Bryan Gasol spins inside reverse Banks it in and a foul Al Gasol pretty play and Kobe Bryant knocks it down Bryan to odm odm for three that’s good and Jones and Ryan just got into a little Skirmish Ryan very upset he

Thought a foul should have been called and they they have changed the way they called flagrant fouls they’re calling with much more regularity changing the way the game called a lot of players as Phillips misfires that and Bertman tries to keep it alive Farmar has it game was

Different than when you played they didn’t call him like that back then they didn’t call him like this last season it’s not from Old School this has nothing to do with old school or new school this has to do with an overreaction action to how these guys

Are supposed to call these playr fouls and it’s going to turn a game that shouldn’t be turned Bryant looking chased by two forces up a shot still put it in I was about to say that’s not a good shot Kobe Bryant knocks down the three Bryant once again

Starting to light it up in the fourth but his team still down by 11 what a performance from the Denver Nuggets before this sellout crowd Delirious after the disappointing loss in game three nuggets bounced back a 19point win and the Western Conference finals are tied at two games a

Piece it’s been a terrific series thus far the first three games went right down to the final seconds fourth one was a blowout let’s see what happens tonight in game five here in the westom Conference Finals what was so impressive about the game four victory was that

Everybody had a hand in it seven players in double figures and they won big despite Carmelo Anthony being subpar for the second straight game briyan shot that’s a two-pointed well I I agree with Pal Gasol I I’m not sure good pass by Bryant off a well executed Baseline out of

Bounds PL Bryant wants the ball working serious seriously in the post shot clock down to eight Jordan Farmar in the game for the first time Bryan double shot clock down to four nice pass to ol fumbled it gets it back and puts it [Applause] in Bryant lost it still got it off put

It in that a foul never had control and able to get a solid shot attempt I’m going to help off ruic if he drives it at him and make buic make a shot gets it out fic for three bang Anthony that’s a three knocks it down that’s a good look by Kell Anthony

Bad defense there wide design basically Trevor Reza going underneath the screen and roll you got to keep a body on Al oh oh what a play from Kobe Bryant the long Alle pass well arza good screen Carmelo Anthony has got to give help Andor switch good pass by fish fiser late

Reaction by n across the lane and wow that’s a great catch and finish I said great pass and it was certainly good Bryan against Jones briyan on the pullup drill It tell you what as a Defender y Dante joneson Bryan makes that shot you’re thinking uh-oh and Denver’s doing a lot more double teaming tonight as Bryant founds shanon Brown on the cut and this is what this Denver team has been this year Bryant comes right back with a

Three to tie it again the nuggets are a team that sometime came apart of the teams not this year not this postseason Ryan to odm odm oh throws it down and a [Applause] foul and the Lakers have their largest lead of the game Lakers taking time off the

Clock theou back out fiser up top Bryan Bryant left open inside pass to AO he puts it in and a foul what a pass from Bryan and the LA Lakers have taken a 3-2 lead in the series as it heads back to Denver the Nugget fans hoping this will

Not be the final game of this dream season you can bet the fans will do their part it’s been a great atmosphere here in Denver throughout the playoffs we Brian had something in common with coach Van Gundy because he said the same exact thing to me in the summer you take

Care of your business I’ll see you in the Western Conference Final and you were right Fisher takes care of business there Fischer to Bryant shot clock at eight Bryant gets inside elevates and gets the roll but you see inside outside attack much more patient for the Lakers offensively J.R Smith on Bryant with

Actually played some nice defense in this series arza gets it drives inside and throws it down [Applause] Ryan the drive looked like he was going to throw it down and a little scoop finger all well sometimes they are crazy shots but we have seen a J.R Smith a well-rounded player in this series well he’s not just looking to score we watched him take a a game four with his

Ability to make plays and Dish the ball out he’s doing a great job of being aggressive and not just sellling with shooting jumpers tonight Luke Walt shot in and out so score of the goal as Walton gets a nice feed from Kobe Bryant and Denver continues to struggle on their

Efficiency on The Fast Break they’ve blown three fast breaks already in this game odm flips it up and in and Lamar Off the Bench with six points really simple basketball when you talk about what Mike Brown decided to do put the ball in the hands of the best play on

The floor and trust that he will make the right decision time and time again especially in the fourth quarter it was the LeBron James show and to me on those plays what you saw is you can’t give him everything and they gave him everything they gave him assist they gave him drive

And pus has got to have a game plan more where he can keep him in front of him and just hey if he makes jump shots you got to say congratulations Derek py trying to make a jumper gets it to go a three-pointer and the Lakers four for

Eight from downtown they’re backed up by four and remember Detroit had a shooting fourman in Rasheed Wallace that spread the floor so a much harder team as far as for Chon Phillips to play with here cuz on their pick and roles as Bryant knocks it in and Phil Jackson told darus

That they were going to make an adjustment if the double teams didn’t come that’s exactly what happened in last possession they’re going right back to Bryant oneon-one against Smith Bryant to arza an open three knocks it down again that’s his third three-pointer the coach part of the

Problem is carel Anthony is pretty much in no man’s land he’s half doubling not doubling Brian down the [Applause] jumper coming up on a minute remaining in the first half Bryant puts it in goby Bryant now with 15 and this the largest lead of the first half about a 4se

Second difference between shot clock and game clock Anthony guarding Kobe Bryant Anthony on the drive B shot won’t go nearly tipped in by onum theou gets it back Bryant steps back for three it’s good Kobe Bryant drills the three with 4.1 remaining here goes Carmelo Anthony plenty of time drives down to Lane

Running layup oh good and that ends the first half a nine to one run on the offensive n guys he said that the Lakers are playing a ton of Zone a lot of elbows and boxes and that they have got to be more patient on that end the floor

Mike Bryant pulls up doors knocks it down Kobe Bryant with 21 shot clock down to seven fer to Bryant Bryant to Walton Walton flips it up and gets it to go L wal playing some extra minutes with arza in fou he’s got four points Lakers have 20 assists the ball movement has

Been good all game Walt steps back and knocks down the shot Luke Walt doing a strong job Off the Bench he Kobe Bryant gets his eighth assist same as last game Ryan on Kips gets inside flips it up Banks it in and a foul Kobe Bryant

With a chance for a three-point play and turns around and says he can’t and God me nothing personal but not just bips that’s just strength the ability to take the contact and finish get the sense that Brian and the Lakers are trying to take this game right

Now and they talked the last couple of days not letting happen again what occurred in the Houston series where they were forced to go to a game seven trying to wrap it up here and get themselves some rest before an NBA Finals appearance as they now have their

Largest lead a 16-point Advantage with five to play in the third this is a championship type quarter right here and a championship type game this is very good performance by the way Bryan oh Kobe Bryant another one and it’s a 20-point lead for the LA Lakers Phillips

FES the three Phillips inside and a stripped by Gasol taken by Odin how Gasol doing a little bit of everything for the Lakers here in the second half gou has the height Advantage left-handed rolls it in Kobe Bryant always tells gou play likey one of the best players in the

World as the Lakers pH he is he’s doing that right now laser on Odin theol to Brian nice F there’s the drive and the Finish beautiful execution a chance of Defense here at the Pepsi Center nuggets season on the line right now s shot clock Bryant to the basket

Lays it in but here’s my problem coach no denial of the pass to Bryant if you’re J.R Smith understand the situation Force somebody else to make the play Smith has five fouls Kobe Bryant for three 35 for Bryan and it’s back up to 19 timeout Denver yeah and

It’s not just his 35 points and nine assist he’s always constantly teaching talking mentoring but you can’t have this credibility if you’re not bringing your game 35 points nine rebounds they know he has as much at stake in these playoffs as anyone in that locker room he wants this Championship I believe as

Much as anyone in that organization the Lakers were just too good 58% shooting from the field eight of 14 from three and they’ve hit all 22 of their free throw Ryan to a saw and Gasol flips it up and in another assist for Kobe Bryant that’s his 10th and George Carl will

Call probably his final timeout of the Season as the LA Lakers are western conference champions they win the series in six games the Los Angeles Lakers one of the most stored franchises in all of sports led by one of the most dynamic players this game has ever seen Kobe

Bryant and the Lakers back on the final stage for the second consecutive year facing off against against an Orlando Magic team yes a surprise to many being here on this stage once again featuring a charismatic physically imposing 23y old Center on the final stage for the

First time in 14 years it’s the Lakers and the magic ready to battle for an NBA championship Kobe Bryant rattles it in 59% from the line during the regular season but hit 70% in that Cleveland series is Bryan off to a good start with his second field goal Brian Quick move

Blocked by Howard but he hit it off the backboard was close they call it a go 10 really laying off Tony PTI P misses that one kind of Daring him to shoot but that’s a shot that the Lakers will give him all series long Gasol spots up P Gasol’s had

Another terrific Year all NBA third teams had some huge games in the playoffs especially games five and six in the Denver series nice entry pass Luke Walt Off the Bench with six points Brian gets inside tough shot gets it to go he’s hollering for a foul and as Mark said they are picking

On Courtney Lee right now hey you guys sound like some of the other National media now kobby Bryant knocks down the jumper Bryan pet right on top of him and he throws it down like you saw Kobe Bryant yesterday he is as serious as we’ve seen

Him all season right now fer for three that’s good Derek fer St the mark early three for four Kobe Bryant deflected by Nelson Brian gets it right back Falling Away tough shot puts it in oh what a shot from Coy Bryan see you should be in timeout right

Away you make a shot like that you have to go to the sideline for a couple minutes as Bryant pulls up again Kobe Bryant with 16 and you Magic’s defense you have to have a Shan B of mentality you have to stay the core today the sad

News of Randy Smith a former Allstar guards died of a heart attack today talking about a great great player one of the fastest players at this league has ever seen outstanding watching him as a youngster with the Buffalo Brave touchdown pass to Bryant but he has to come back and get

It trying to play physical with Bryan it’s not working though Brian also has five ass so far drives kicks it out gou wide open jumper knocks it down Orlando has a foul to give here there a magical holder for the final shot Bryant gets inside drives on Gort and gets it to go

K be Bryant at 18 points he’s with Doris Mike he also had six assists along with those 18 points what areas of their defense were you personally looking to exploit I’m just taking what they give me you know they want to back off and

Give me a shot um you I’m happy to take it Mark Jackson talked about taking good fouls against Dwight Howard he’s been to the free throw line eight times what did you think of what your team was doing with him he did a pretty good job you

Know he’s he was in foul trouble too so it’s a little misleading to get eight free throws and still be in foul trouble um but we’ll have our work cut out for ourselves a second half goe thanks you’re talking about game one he looked to be aggressive offensively time and

Time again early on getting it going recognizing the mismatches good job of facilitating getting guys wide open shots and all of a sudden put his foot on the gas pedal taking advantage of the smaller magic Defenders you talk about degree of difficulty well defended contesting this is good defense by Peter

You have done your job good defense just better offense that’s why he’s the best in the world once again the contest when he gets it going he talked about it I don’t even see the defender in the pitch took over in the first half Ryan Up and

Under pretty move Banks it in Courtney Lee wide open three can’t get it to go those are the shots that are not falling right now pretty pass blocked by bham bham was extremely accur give him the first half before he picked up his third foul Bryant tough shot that’s

Good he might be having one of those kns he’s got 22 already bran to the basket and tripped up they going to call it in the act of shooting again they are attacking where Kobe Bryant has a great Advantage size strength experience Kobe Bryant hit count it and

One 26 for Kobe Bryant and a chance for a three-point that is just that’s just pretty [Applause] basketball by one great player Austin will try again ready for Austin just two of eight from the field but again the play by Dwight Howard is the right play to me the magic

Need to cut a little bit more the soul Up and Under beautiful adjustment and they’re on their feet at the Staple Center as the Lakers have opened up an 18-point lead it’s going to long terrific year for Kobe Bryant this summer winning the gold medal and coming

Back leading the Lakers to 65 wins third best record of franchise history and he keeps saying Mark that nothing shy of a championship will mean anything everything else is a huge disappointment and he’s doing everything including coaching well talking communicating being a leader sometimes what you go through is transportation to

Where you’re going to right now Kobe Bryant is playing with a sense of urg shot clock wind down Kobe Bryant on the drive gets to the boun oh what a move from Kobe Bryant as the shot clock expires Mama there goes that man the ability to put the ball on the floor and

Finish at The Rim my goodness Ryan [Applause] again he’s got that look ryant looks up with a shot clock couple of fakes shot clock at two he’s got to put it up tries to B it does so and a foul Bobby Bryant brilliant here in the

Third quarter and the Lakers up by 22 good defense just better offense the ability to take the hit create your own shot a thing of beauty Bryan putting on a Quin the man they call the closer not waiting till the fourth quarter to do his damage 16 points in the period 34

For the game and the Lakers up by 23 Nelson blocked by Soul picked up by Bryant turkalo looks to stop him hard foul Mark play by turoo again Bryan pouring on the points and it’s only his fifth free throw this guy has dominated each offensive possession think about it

Go back to any possession in this game can you name where he was not involved where it turned out to be a positive arza open three bang 25o lead for for the Lakers but once again it’s off of the play of Bryant nice pass inside Gortat blocked from behind terrific defensive

Play right from the opening tap Kobe Bryant had to look on a mission getting guys involved and then turn back time talking the guys on the bench excited after plays the attitude the approach the mentality became contagious and the Lakers from the jump meant business shot clock winding down

Turoo in some trouble ball deflected it’s only their eighth turnover and all the other numbers doesn’t matter is Brian a fou he’ll go back to the free throw line with 414 remaining Bryant now with 40 points most he’s ever scored in a Finals game and that’ll do

It the Lakers take game one of the 2009 Finals Lakers meanwhile shot the ball very well especially through the first three quarters when the game was decided arza hits a three Trevor arza fifth in these playoffs and three-point shooting Fisher looking to post up Austin gets it inside

Bryant blocked but a foul the foul will go against Courtney Lee well so much has been made about Kobe Bryant’s demeanor over the course of the last couple of days as intensity seeming to radiate off of him and permeate this entire Laker roster and it mattered not time and

Score that intensity never waned throughout the course of the game he was jutting that bottom jaw and even late in the game with the game well in hand the Lakers up 20 he is chewing on PO Gasol for a perceived Miss defensive assignment his demeanor really changed

In game five of the Denver series he got very serious when asked yesterday the impact on his teammates he said I am sure they’re watching how I am preparing and reacting and they’re prepared to follow suit that’s probably not a bad thing Mike not for the Lakers certainly

Doris and Brian and you know Mark we talked about this as he shoots over turoo and knocks it down I don’t think we’ve ever seen him and this is one of the most competitive pro athletes we’ve ever seen I don’t think we’ve ever seen him this hungry looking Fischer left

Wide open puts it [Applause] in a low scoring first quarter arza wide open hits a three his second three-pointer of the game nice pass inside but somebody got a piece of it or Howard couldn’t handle it Bryant goes right at Ray for Austin kicks it out fiser for three

B Kobe Bryant wide open for three those shots by Rashad Lewis that was bad defense Kobe Bryant and Derrik fiser just before the half talked about it there’s nothing you can do there’s no adjustments there other than finding your man and contesting his shot Bryan puts it in briyan a quiet six points

Look to distribute more in the first half he had five assists Ryan hand in his face knocks it down he had 18 in the third quarter in game one he’s off to a quick start here in this third quarter Bryant aggressive offensively turnaround shot in and out and in again

Here he goes arza with the steal Fischer arza touch pass to Brian there’s a fast break and the magic want timeout Trevor re’s defense once again leading to points for the Lakers 437 remaining third quarter of game two of the Finals Lakers leading by three Kobe

Bryant had 40 in game one Qui in the first half but starting to come alive here in this third quarter for the Lakers he’s got eight points already in the period Well Bryant senses that he has a size advantage over Courtney Lee Lee good very good defense Bryan just remarkably

Skilled two jump shots and then the well executed fast break off a magic turnover a big Ovation there at the Staple Center they just put up KD jaar in the big screen Bryan Thrills it he’s got 10 here in the third Fischer good wide open three p it in tied it

In Bryant won’t go with a foul one-point Laker lead petus does a good job keeping Bryant in front of him shot clock at two odm has to put it up and he puts it in Lamar odm eight points here in the fourth quarter Kobe Bryant on the

Pullup 20 for Kobe Bryant and that’s by Design if you’re Dwight Howard you have to be closer to Bryant coming off that Street Bryant Drive blocked by Howard but a foul Trevor re has made so many big defensive plays Bryan jump shot he’s fouled and petus is fouled out in 24

Minutes shot clock at six Bryant on the drive the runner looks to bank it does ties the game turkalo sees the shot clock down to six turkalo tied up turkalo looking turoo pulls up puts it up knocks it down a two-pointer for teoo and the magic back up by two kicks it

Out to fiser fiser fakes fiser drives pass deflected by how gets the Gasol and he lays it in to tie it up with 33 and a half seconds left shot clock down to five Lee makes his move Lee to the basket puts it up won’t go rebound Odum

With n and 1 12 seconds to go calls timeout Holden back out to Bryant Bryant looking Bryant driving Bryant blocked from behind by turo and the magic try and call timeout the buzzer sounds but they’ll put some time back on the clock 6/10 of a second remaining Ali up to Lee

Lee won’t go and we go to overtime boy you couldn’t ask for a better shot opportunity most of the crowd on their feet here at Staple Center Bryant jab step Drive puts it up shots good cough shot the Lakers back up by [Applause] one oh turo is doing a very good job of

Making Brian work those are tough shots Brian looks inside finds Gasol Gasol oh count it and a foul and it’s Bryant making plays High pick and roll with Gasol looks like he’s looking to score good job of delivering the pass trusting your receiver pal gou once again with those great hands the catch

And the Finish R PST back puts up the three won’t go rebound Lewis Lewis brings it back out Lewis forces it up that’s Off the Mark a re of the rebound and that’ll do it the Lakers survive and win game two and overtime you’re up 2

What’s the story are you not happy or you’re only half happy or still to be happy about you’re up two oh job’s not finished job finished I don’t think so okay it’s been a special season here in Orlando for the magic culminating with an NBA Finals appearance for the first time since

1995 but a blowout loss in game one and a gut-wrenching defeat in overtime in game two has these magic in an 02 hole meanwhile their opponent the Los Angeles Lakers they’ve now won four straight playoff games and are just two wins away from the franchise’s 15th NBA championship can they take command of

The series in a very hostile environment we’re going to find out soon enough Derek fiser sticks his first shot and fiser who had struggled shooting during the playoffs has had a very good final so far nice entry pass to Gasol Lewis went for the steel and got burned and

The magic go up by one Kobe Bryant gets it to go his first shot Bryant wasn’t happy with his play in game two Phil Jackson said it wasn’t up to his usual standard despite putting up some decent numbers when you get 29 Points and eight assists and you’re

Unhappy you’re really really good takes the three now puts it up a three-pointer Kobe Bryant rattles it in well he hits his first two shots and the Lakers back up by four Stan in his four years at Brockport shot over 50% from the field if they’d have had the three-point line

At that time he have probably had say 40% more points because he didn’t know what a layup was coach thank you very much for joining us we appreciate it Lakers shooting pretty well themselves early Bryan gets inside pretty play if you land the Magic in that situation help has to come quick Bryant

Gets it back with nine on the clock petus in Pursuit Bryant double team knocks it down and falls down afterwards tough shot from Kobe Bryant tough is kind those are Impossible Plays Bryant four on the shot clock line drive again Kobe Bryant lethal early he’s six of seven there

Just no way to defend that no that’s well defended there’s nothing you can do about that right there shot clock winding down and a foul and it’s good Bryant Nails the three petus went for the fake and bumped him and a chance for a four-point play the strength to be

Able to get that shot up and again going over scouting reports not by fighting on shot fakes against Bryant is critical he’s taken some tough shots this one he had to take because the shot clock was winding down and that’s a three the shot clock down to five Kobe

Bryant again Bryan Nails the three he’s got 20 points in 14 minutes and when he’s knocking down shots like this you have to force other guys to beat you he is in an absolute Zone Brian gets PE is up in the air again and draws the foul

Doing a great job of keeping his team in the ball game they’re putting him in isolation situations smaller Defenders doing a great job of shooting over them how about double team can’t answer that also isolation one dribble pull up the guy has the package on the offensive end

Good job of selling the shot fake knocking down the three and the foul hand down man down Kobe Bryant put on an absolute plin in that first half the rolls spins turn around shot is good that’s a seven footer doing all that five on the shot clock Bryant draws the

Foul eight turnovers for Orlando much better than game two when they CED it up 20 times orza knocks down the three he is turned into an excellent three-point shooter Brian gets Courtney Lee up in the air again boy the frustration for the young player turoo little fake up to

Two can’t get it to go and gets all the rebound that’s the first time now Orlando has missed three shots in a row all game they’re still at 65% as briyan nails that one to make it a two-point game if your Orlando continue to execute offensively that’s a good shot the last

Trip by Turk Bryant looks up Bryant on the pullup puts it in back to a two-point game pis right on Bryant Howard looking to help Gull drives the lane Leia thans it in one-point game with a minute and a half half to play Bryant the drive Bryant right at Howard

Back shot is up off the mark no good the soul trying to track it down saves it back to Bryan Bryan forces up a three won go fer the rebound Fischer brings it back he puts up a three Off the Mark Bryant the rebound lays it in with 510

Magic as to how hard they will fight you for this win uh they’re going to fight you know we got to be prepared for it you know Focus can’t be about that it has to be about taking care of business Austin the drive that’s a bad shot ball

Knocked away shot clock was winding down Ryan knocks it down he’s got 17 this isn’t a secret this is one bad match and you talking about a complete basketball player outstanding to watch you get it back to five and then all of a sudden the unexpected hitch with a right cross ball

Backed out of bounds still Orlando ball Mark you said at the very top even from a couple years ago Kobe Bryant may have tried a different approach to a game like this than he’s doing tonight correct well absolutely there’s there was a time where this guy would try to

Get 50 tonight and his team would have a chance of winning but they’re at their best when he’s making plays wow and speak of making plays Brian Banks it in off Balance Falling Down and it’s backed up to 11 Mama there goes that man outstanding athletic ability the ability

To hang in the air and then finish CR a little quiet right now at the Amway arena nervous for their magic fiser hits the jumper and the lead goes up the 13 largest of the game Ryan maneuvering weaving gets to the Lane and draws the foul they’ve been cold all night but
