Kobe was playing that same game the last time the Suns beat them in the playoffs a couple years back. I remember seeing it then too. There was a definite "ok, if you guys think you can win without me, then let's see you do it" thing.
I'd forgotten what a monster Kobe is out there. The guy is still insanely good at almost every single facet of the game. I'm still pretty scared of the Lakers I saw in games 1 and 2, but I feel a lot better about the team-effect that the Suns bring to the table.
