What if the Lakers actually don't make the playoffs?

[Real14]

How would u feel about that ISH?

[kuniva_dAMiGhTy]

LeBron fans torch Kobe for missing the playoffs in 2005. Even though Kobe missed around 20 games and his head coach retired midway

With that in mind, if LeBron's Lakers dont make the playoffs it should count against him. How much? I don't know. It gives credence to the "east=cakewalk" argument though.

LeBron fans enjoy bringing up Kobe missing the playoffs in 2005. Keep in mind Kobe missed nearly 20 games and their head coach retired halfway thru the season.

Throw in a retired head coach and you'd probably have a point.

Yes. A coach.

You know, those guys owners sign that give teams structure and stability?

The 2005 Lakers played in two different systems after Rudy T retired. You go from a HOF coach...to Frank Hamblen. Frank Hamblen who never saw a head coaching position again. I never even mentioned Odom missing 15 games

And Luke Walton? Guy had a better winning percentage with the Dubs than Kerr did.

"Kobe bar" for sure though.

LeGOAT drops to 13th all time

Lamar injured. Kobe himself injured. And no coach who led a team to 70 wins.

Vino standards bros. V-I-N-O fukking standards.
