Damm that sucks… we need kobe at 100% without gasol in the line up.
Nah….68% will do against the Thunder. lol
Seriously. Kobe is like Jordan in that he finds a way to conserve his energy and focus on what’s needed in order to win.
Besides, he now has Artest to guard the other teams best perimeter player so Kobe doesn’t have to spend too much energy on the defensive side.
He’s going to light it up tonight like he always does when he’s sick.
bigger issue: swine?
Of course he’ll play. This is not new news. He’ll play when he’s sick to death.
Phil should sit Kobe, that way we can see what this team is about without our 1-2 players. I think it would be a good test for the Lakers. But Kobe’s a beast, dude never wants to leave the court. Go Lakers! Can’t wait to watch pre-game with Big Game James!
He had Fever, sore throat, A flu!! Whaaaaat 31 points wheres the flu. He killed it ya’ll. Artest was a beast like usual. But we are missin pau. Good game tho its was thrilling.
