Is it a coincidence? (Pau, Odom, Bynum)

[baller562]

Because the guys who started those games they win without Kobe didn't play in playoffs

How do you expect to win with Morris, Goudelock as your starting backourt?

What happened in games 1 and 2?

What happened in games 1 and 2?

Nash played on one leg, and Meeks didn't play in game 2.

Anyone that thinks a team is better off without Kobe on it is a moron. End of story.

This is not what I think, this is a fact, they have the same or sometimes even better win-loss record without him in the lineup through his career, It's not like I made this up.

So what? Is that supposed to prove something?

That he's never been the MVP of the Lakers. Best individual player yes, but not the most valuable.

OP is correct Bynum can't even walk without being near the healing properties of Gawdbe

Never?

Who was the most valuable Laker from 05 through 08?

And...meh...too small of a sample size. The Shaq Lakers may have been as good at times...even in the playoffs...without Kobe.

But since 04...those teams aren't nearly as good without Kobe. A few regular season games mean nothing.

Lamar Odom was the MVP from 05 through 08.

Is it a coincidence that Kobe is the only all time great which team have the same or better record without him?

Just look at Bulls record without Jordan, Celtics record without Bird or without Russell, Lakers record without Magic, Mavs record without Dirk.....
