just saw the spike lee doc. featuring kobe on espn.  was quite a fascinating look into how kobe thinks and plays the game and how the lakers actually function as a unit under coach pj.  helped me understand the game better and to appreciate it more.  which makes it frustrating cause of the current series and the lack of consistency in their execution as a team recently.  tomorrow, i believe the lakers will execute and do whatever it takes to get it done.  just wanted to see if anyone else had a chance to watch and to offer your thoughts and comments.

good news for laker fans, devastating news for rockets fans, bad news for basketball fans all around.  on the upside, it's not a major injury requiring surgery, so he should be able to play again next season.  guess we probably won't see an extended series between the two teams unless tmac magically gets on the court and miraculously takes over.  lakers vs nuggets in west conf: c ya there.
