This could hurt our seeding. Depends if you want OKC or Spurs in the second round (if all 3 team wins in the first round).

Doubt he'll sit all games but I think we'll be fine either way(keeping that 3rd seed)

Let the man have his rest before the playoffs

I don't mind it. Coach Brown was too stupid to lower Kobe's minutes and keep him the rest of his team fresh for the playoffs. So Kobe (who rarely misses any games) figures it out and sits out some games and even helps coach the Lakers better than Brown.

Just a bit worried about the Clippers creeping up. They piss me off this season lol.

6 games left,2 game advantage in the standings(we have the tiebreaker,in case of a tie we are ahead)

Games left:

Mavs
Spurs 2x
Thunder
Warriors
Kings

If we go 5-1 we keep the 3rd spot no matter what the Clippers do(it's doubtful they win all the games they have left)

Clippers have 4 out of 6 games on the road an they play 5 out of 6 games against playoff teams(Thunder,Hawks,Knicks,Nuggets,Suns)

NO WAY they go undefeated out of that stretch...if they lose one game we can afford a 4-2 record the rest of the way,if they lose 2 games we can afford a 3-3 stretch


We'll be fine

seeding isn't nearly as important as having a well rested best player is

Would like to see him come back for the last two games to at least get warm for the playoffs. Don't want to see him rusty the first game of the playoffs or even the first half.
