I'll never understand how the Pacers blew that game. They couldn't stop
Kobe "Gimpy" Bryant? Come on!! With Shaq out of the game and Kobe playing
on a bum ankle, there is no excuse. Why go for the three at the end? Why
not the 2 to tie and continue into another OT with no Shaq and a hurt Kobe?
The odds would have been with the Pacers. I don't get it. 

Doug Collins AND Bob "I love Kobe" Costas both bug me. I could call a
better game. Costas just loves to say Kobe's name and Collins blather is
annoying and senseless. You are correct about his post-play
analysis....give me more Bizarro Bill Walton any day.
