i don't know if anyone caught that. immediately after the final whistle, Kobe with his head down walk straight off the court with a serious face. not high fiving, not smiling, no congrats, nothing. i found it kind of odd, look, i'm not saying Kobe should joined LeBron's goofy style of celebration (remember the fake camera pose), but come on man, at least stick around and acknowledge your teammates who just shocked the entire NBA by blowing out a title contender on opening night.
i don't want to speculate but my guess is Kobe, and even Nash and Gasol will soon realize MDA isn't messing around, he WILL play whoever's productive out there. veterans all stars or not, he's gonna go with the 5 hottest players to finish the game. |

Maybe he didn't want to take attention away from the team? |

So Kobe is mad/worried because he thinks he won't get playing time?

We only got 81 more games to go.. _________________ NBA Finals 2008 Game 4 post-game reaction:
KOBE 2.0 - I'm gonna cut my wrists... Whatever... I don't care this sucks and I hate life.
Orestes - Guess that's one way to find out if you really bleed purple & gold. |

I think he is the type of competitor that doesn't feel like he won if he didnt do anything to contribute to it. He usually never even takes the floor when he isn't playing. I'm sure he's proud of the guys but as someone who wants to win, it's probably a little conflicting. |
