Do you all think Kobe may be in panic mode

Its 1-1 but IMO the Fakers have to be doubting themselves. If I was a Laker fan I would not feel so well. Kobe has to feel sick to his stomach the way Denver has played on their home court and now have to hit the road on top of it.

100% agree. I was thinking the same thing watching this series. Denver is showing to be the better team IMO by far. That crowd is going to be Fing Crazy on Saturday.

pretty much agree 100%

as far as bryant panicking, no i don't think so

i think he'll just have to look at it a bit deeper and start to realize who is ready for war and who isn't and when it comes time to create shots for other players, keep that in the back of his mind

gasol and odom just way too inconsistent and lack physical toughness and i'm sure that does start to weigh on kobe

i wouldn't think for a minute that he's in panic mode though. if anything, game 3 can't start soon enough for him.

I agree. Not whining, but in the 4th quarter tonight I thought Denver was in the right place at the right time on many of their offensive rebounds.
