Kobe: Lakers will "absolutely" make playoffs

[West-Side]

A healthy Kobe easily makes the playoffs.

He's carried far worse in the best conference in NBA history.

The key word in your post is "carried"; as in past tense.
Kobe is no where near the level he was in 2006; if he was, I'd think LA has a chance at a title.

He was asked if the Lakers could make the playoffs, not that they would.

[NugzFan]

think of it this way


a healthy kobe took kwame/smush/cook to the playoffs 2 straight years

hes not as good as he was back then

but lou williams/brandon bass/julius randle/nick young/roy hibbert/d'angelo russell and jordan clarkson combined are 100 times better than the 2006 or 2007 lakers

This logic is so flawed

Kobe's so skilled he could dominate at 80 years old.

If healthy.

a healthy kobe can still average 24/5/5 with only 30 mpg

hes top 10 at the very least. if injured then all bets are off

on 36% shooting, meaning no matter how many points he scores, he's probably hurting his team

Baldbe is losing it.

I love it how haters take snippets of a quote out of context

Kobe was asked if this team can make the playoffs. You think any competitor will say, "uh no, we have no shot."

Kobe: "Of course it can. Absolutely. We have talented players in their respective positions. We have some really young players. How exactly will the pieces fit? We really don't know. We are going to {training} camp trying to piece this together just like every other team does. We have to figure out what our strengths are, figure out what our weaknesses are."

Interesting choice of words there
Lebron is a 44%fg scorer in NBA finals while Kobe is at a pathetic 40%fg

Professional choke artist.

i'm just glad we can agree that no matter how many points lebron scored in last years finals, he was hurting his team

I'm just glad we can agree that Kobe throughout his entire Dinas career has hurt his teams

What kind of asswipe minses quotes, and deliberately takes what said person voiced out of context?

[ralph_i_el]

so basically lebron in the finals

yup, just like LeBron vs. the best D in the league missing his two best teammates/shooters!

you got the English version of this up and ready to go yet

[TheMarkMadsen]

ok but you just said that no matter how many points you score if you're shooting that terribly you're hurting your team, so Lebron was hurting his team in the 2015 finals

glad that we can agree
