Lol who said the team is better off without Kobe and Bynum? Seriously I think some of you don't like the fact we are winning without them. I still haven't seen anyone say we can win a title without those guys or trade them. Obviously when they come back they will need to adjust to this team game that has been discovered. Deep3, you seem to know about bball, why don't you agree?

Nobody has literally, but figuratively they have.......I mean read the last 3 game threads.

Oh don't get me wrong I like the W's, but we can get these same wins with Kobe and Drew. But guys are acting like we can play like this over the long haul........and that's BS. Long story short, teams couldn't prepare for them without Kobe. This just goes to show how many teams draw up their game plan just to cut off Kobe and hope the rest struggle. This wouldn't be an issue if they carried their weight, but we know they can't because LO for one has problems with consistency.

I agree they will have to adjust but it's not it's totally going to be on Kobe or Drew to fully concede. Those guys have to continue to be aggressive. Bottom line is Kobe has to only watch his shot selection and Drew has to offer that hustle the other bigs have displayed lately, it's not that big of an adjustment.

Right.

I have love for Kobe but I like to take shots at him because I feel he deserves it, he doesn't always play team basketball but at the end of the day I know and I believe everyone else here knows we need him (and Andrew) to win a title. But I can't think of a better 3 game stretch all year...can anybody else? Lighten up guys, if someone wants to crack on Kobe then what's the big deal, we do it to Pau, Fisher and LO all the time. I think this will help Kobe, he'll be ready to go when he comes back.

Never seen that before.

Otherwise, wow. Freaking wow. Maybe we really should trade Kobe and Andrew.

Good luck trading Kobe, what with that no-trade clause and all.

Bench him, then. Because I am being completely and totally serious.
