Re: Kobe predicts they will win game 5

Stern must of passed Kobe the secret memo. The refs are now going to start to call all those "contested shots where prince slaps hands with bryant" fouls.

I think the memo said "Kobe were sending you to the line 15 times"

You remember the Bulls v Utah series. Jordan was shooting in the mid 30% from the field but was taking more free throws than anyone else.

I don't expect for him or anyone else at that matter to feel differently. The lakers will need a sudden turnaround in this series and I don't see it happening. Detriot is extremely focused and wants it more. I think Kobe will be more aggressive but if he continues to drive to the basket and get heavenly contested then he will look to take more outsides shots which he will be back where he was the previous games. Shaq is going to get his, they can't let any of the role players to step up.I remember a couple of years ago when the Kings won game five to go up 3 - 2. After the game they were all smiles and excitement and their demeanor says they got the Lakers. They werent focus and thought it would be a cake walk from there. We saw what happened after that.

This Detroit team is as focused as a Champion team should be, they are hungry and can smell the victory. Both teams will come out fighting but Detroit should be victorious. As to getting the benefit of calls, all champion teams get them. Jordon got plenty of calls that could have swayed some of their victories. These two team are no different. The offensive goaltend the Lakers didnt get called for was no different from the Pistons who did get called. IMO calls like that have helped the lakers benefit from all of those championships in the last few years but back to my point, I think the Pistons will overcome most of the adversaties that awaits them Tuesday and win the game.

I am a Indiana fan and didnt feel too bad after they beat us. Once I saw the lakers in the finals I knew Detroit had a better chance to beat them than we did. Call me funny on this one but i'd rather see my boys lose than the Lakers win, I'm sick of them. I think only three teams had a chance to beat the Lakers before the playoffs and thats the Kings, Spurs or The Pistons. If the Pistons can continues to stay focus and take it one quarter at a time then they should be fine.
