Sun's game 7 vs. Lakers

Bill Simmons from ESPN.com on Kobe:

"Which reminds me, if Kobe doesn't completely eviscerate Bell in Game 7, everyone on the planet is banned from making any more Kobe-MJ comparisons. We all know that MJ would have dropped 55 on Bell, shut down Nash on the other end and disemboweled D'Antoni for good measure. Kobe, if you're going to steal MJ's fist clench/shake from Game 1 of the 1998 Finals without asking, you need to take this all the way. You cannot lose Game 7. You can't. Even if you're playing 4-on-5 and Jax keeps refusing to play Vujacic."

Kobe's line:

8/16 shooting
4/5 free throws
4/8 3-pointers
1 assist, 3 turnovers
4 rebounds

24 points (the telling line: 1 point in the 2nd half, 0-3 shooting)

Lakers lose 121-90. The point I'm making is Kobe didn't even go down swinging. He gave up at the start of the 2nd half. He didn't even try to go all Kobe on the Suns. I can't wait to hear what Simmons has to say about Kobe and if his man-crush on him will continue.
