Kobe definitely did not have a better trio. Odom and Gasol hardly ever showed up and had no physical presence for the majority of the series. Odom wasn't horrible tonight but Gasol looked like he was possessed by Kwame Brown.
Atrocious man-on-man defense and horrible team defense killed the Lakers. Lakers bench also got thoroughly outplayed in almost every game by the Celtics bench.
The better and more hungry team won.
