If Kobe hadn't been poisoned, we might have taken care of business in 4 games.
Maybe Kobe swallowed when he should have snorted.
Maybe 5 games.
The inside reports at the Hyatt about Kobe's "food poisoning" are that it wasn't really "food", but was some other recreational consumption of his choice!
Nobody has food poisoning that lasts more than 24 hours. 48 could be possible. 72 is just plain ridiculous.
If Webber held Kobe's waist with his left hand and delivered a forearm shiver to Kobe's nose with his right, Webber would have been ejected, fined, and suspended for game seven.
