Vujacic is jus fine IMO. Hes been turning heads all year and I think its just the Finals atmosphere getting to him.
I thought that too after Game 4, but in Game 5 he was just chucking up shots that weren't even open. He's gotta be smarter than that because every possession matters.

Yea true but if he stops taking shots when he has the ball that can lead to him being scared to shoot, and when the Lakers need him to shoot he can come up big. I think he should just play a bit smarter but keep being himself and he'll do fine. Maybe make the extra pass when he can also.

Yup, that's all you can pretty much ask from a player like Vujacic. Just make the right plays when you have the ball. Only Kobe should be taking those miracle shots when the clock is winding down and no one's open. (And I really hate when it comes to that btw)

Better execution would cure that problem. They need to play better team ball to avoid coming down to a few seconds on the shot clock and having to force up a pressured shot. Kobe needs to play like the MVP also.

Well if his teammates start making the wide open shots Kobe is giving them that would definitely help. (Make him look like the MVP he was in the regular season)

Can't compare regular season to post season. No one gives it all they've got every single game in the regular season unlike they do in the post season. Kobe needs to have glimpses of the old Kobe at times IMO to keep them from losing this series. He has the potential and skillset to take over games at will, he needs to do that to keep the lead strong.

He's obviously struggled to take over games against the Celtics. Paul Pierce and Ray Allen (and the Celtics help defense) have been able to keep up with Kobe and stop him from taking over. So he's doing the right thing by attacking their defense and finding someone open from the help.

Give Lebron Kobe's supporting cast and I bet Lebron is holding up the trophy

Nope, because Kobe's ability to be clutch and close out games puts him over LeBron.

Paul Pierce > Kobe Bryant

EDIT: and that uh "steal" at the end of the game was the worst foul I've ever seen.
