Yeah I would have liked to see him surpass the Laker franchise record personally, but before it happened I told my buddy who was watching the game with me that PJ would probably pull Kobe out just to "keep him in line" and let him know that he isn't the whole team, though he clearly is most of it, and PJ did indeed pull him out. I have mixed feeling about the decision really. PJ is a good coach though, so I'm not really pissed at him.
