The NBA couldn't have asked for a better Finals game 6 than tonight's game with Paul Pierce his "Dos Amigo's" and Kobe Bryant and company battling for the NBA’s rights to be called champions.  With the Lakers facing elimination and a meaningless second place finish, will Kobe Bryant step up his game and actually win something as the face of his franchise, or will NBA supremacy doge him?  That is the question being asked as we head to Boston for game 6 and possibly the close out game of the NBA Finals.

My prediction is that the Lakers will go home tonight as losers and end this NBA season as the second best team in the league.  I just don't see Kobe Bryant being able to beat the "Three Amigos" all by himself.  Having a whole team concentrate on stopping Kobe and letting everyone else on the Lakers beat you leaves a big responsibility on a team that after Kobe and Derek Fisher doesn’t have a player with any experience in a win or go home game in the NBA Finals.  With that alone I think the Lakers are facing an uphill battle that they can't win.  Although many want to label Kobe Bryant the second coming to Michael Jordan he can't do it all on his own, unless someone else steps up and helps out Kobe, your next NBA championship parade will be held in downtown Boston.
