I first started to notice this with last years finals. In re-watching, I noticed that when Boston started to make a run, our guys made flubs, threw the ball away, and/or took bad shots. Again with the most recent loss, I noticed that once the Pacers started to make a run and started putting pressure on us, we folded a bit. I guess we still are a relatively young team besides Kobe and Fisher, but hopefully we can get our mental game together a little bit better so we can handle and thrive on the pressure when it is put upon us next.
Do you think we can handle the pressure?

well the Sixers made a run last night too...didn't they cut it down from 20 to 11 or something close to that? But we handled it well and kept them at bay
im confident this team will get better at managing leads and playing under pressure as the season goes on

Again - this team, as currently constructed won't make it out of the second round of the playoffs, let alone the West or win the Finals.---fido on 2011 Lakers
