Kobe Is Hungry, Is Anyone Else?

Clearly, Kobe has been as focused as ever, especially verse Denver. The question is, does anyone else on the Lakers want to win as bad?

What was most disappointing about Game Four was our effort. You don’t get out-rebounded by 18, give up 20 offensive rebounds, only force six turnovers and send a team to the line 49 times without coming out of it with some major concerns.

The rebounding alone goes to show that they wanted it more. They were the aggressors, and they went out and took that game from us.

Should we — the fans — be concerned? Or, was it just a case of one team desperate not to go down 3-1 in a series?

We saw what happens when Denver’s backs are to the wall, now my biggest concern is not Game Five, rather Game Six and Game Seven (if there is one). We want to put their backs to the wall again, and winning tomorrow night will do just that.

The next time we have a chance to put them away for good, will anyone, other than Kobe, step up to the challenge?

I am not yet ready to say that our guys are not hungry. If we do not come out hyped in each of the next two games, we will without question see another Game Seven.

So what have our guys done in the playoffs so far?
