'First Take': Kobe to blame against Celtics?
Feb 06, 2013 12:37 PM
On Friday, ESPN's "First Take" debated Kobe Bryant's responsibility for the Lakers' bad loss to the Celtics on Thursday night. Boston scored 37 points in an explosive third quarter, and the Lakers were generally helpless to stop the Celtics over the course of the whole game. Stephen A. Smith thinks factors outside of Bryant's control were more to blame -- the Celtics were amped-up and emotional -- while Skip Bayless points to Bryant's zero assists as a big reason for the loss.
