Sure, forget the intangibles, I'll throw some numbers your way. 81 points in a game that resulted in a blowout W - 2nd higest in the 60 years history of NBA. Only one person has scored more in the entire history of the NBA. 62 points in 3 quarters against the 2nd highest ranked team in the west, Dallas, that resulted in a blowout W. 35.4 ppg avg in the regular season that resulted in the Lakers actually making the playoffs solid in number 7 position. 3 NBA championship rings, in a row. Ranked third in assist in the playoffs just behind Steve Nash and Andre Miller, and ranked third in scoring behind Dirk Nowitzki and Bonzi Wells. You're the one that chose to ignore these "numbers" outright and go into the "intangibles" of the flow of the game, and playing in the constrcut of the offense...etc.

Lakers in 6, and go ahead and bring on Bell, don't suspend him. He's been holding kobe all series long, no point suspending him now.
