@243354 hes not out of his prime he has a screwed up ankle and of course the mavs all healthy after beating that garbage called portland. if everyone on LAL was good to go, the Lakers would have their 17th title right now. think about the other teams and what they did (or didnt do) in the playoffs

Notice how the Mavs played single-coverage on Bryant in this game? They know he's out of his prime and can't beat team single-handily as he once could.The Lakers need to get him more help on the perimeter.
