Argh!..Boston took the most important game of the series..they now shift back to LA with a win away from hanging their 18th championship banner..pretty tough for Kobe and the Lakers..they must..MUST win Game 6 on Tuesday to tie and force a winner-take-all match on Thursday or else, bye ring #5 for him this year..

Kobe needs this, he knows he need this..another ring to cement his Laker legacy, he knows he needs to beat Boston to lay claim to being the greatest Laker ever..

and most importantly, IMO, another ring that will put him closer to MJ..

GO LAKERS!
