Hedo Turkoglu was incredible! The lakers barely pulled out the win. I can believe Courtney Lee missed that wide open layup to end the fourth quarter!

Im a laker fan, but even I can acknowledge this wasn’t a good game by Kobe’s standards. Lamar is the one that stepped up big in this game and Pau was big in OT. Kobe has been amazing for most of these playoffs though.

I do think Hedo’s the best thing since sliced bread and am glad someone else agrees. But I don’t think Lee deserves to be beat up on for the miss. It was a catch-and-release play that was caught at a tough angle while the path to the basket was hampered by Pau Gasol’s giant arm. If he HAD made the shot, I think people would be calling it an amazing shot not just because it was a buzzer-beater, but because of how hard of a shot it was. Instead, because he missed it, people are saying it was a choke because it was an ”easy lay-up.” Drama’s drama.
