I don't know. It didn't seem like hot-dogging was the real problem, although I will agree that they didn't always run their offense (whether the C's D was partially responsible, who knows). From my perspective (don't always watch the lakers during the season) Kobe always takes crazy lower percentage shots, and no one ever really criticizes him because he's so talented that he usually makes a lot of them. To be honest, I was a little surprised that both teams didn't take it to the rack a little more. I think that for both teams, shooting j's is a risky proposition, because as we saw last night, you sort of live and die by them.
