Don't be fooled my friend. He's not hurting, he wants to drop to the seventh seed to take the Spurs out in the first round. Don't tell JK please.

Besides, we've won three of the four games he's sat out.

Rest Kobe...Rest!!!

This is the result of playing him too much instead of resting him in some nights or cutting down his minutes. The good thing about these rest for Kobe is that he is seeing what his supporting cast can do when he is out. He is finding out that he has a dominating frontline. Only he knew this at the beginning of the season or even in the middle of the season.... ooops I forgot, it's all about the scoring title...lol

Stop it! I agree that it's a good thing he's able to see what they can do and hopefully will trust and rely on them when he returns. Not that it's a good thing he has to sit out at all but the timing is perfect as he gets to observe and heal right before the playoffs.

On the other hand, the way we're playing without him, maybe he should sit out the playoffs.

Aw shucks....................Morning Eli................How are you?.............

All's good my man. Enjoying my morning and a cup of java on the patio.

This injury is a blessing. Kobe will start the playoffs fresh and invigorate. I would not mind seeing him missing few more games. Lakers is playing great ball in his absence and building confidence for the playoff run.
