Wah, Kobe has played hurt for the last 4 seasons and the Lakers fared better than the Spurs did in the Playoffs last year.

2006-2007 when they finished as the #7 seed and blew a 3-1 lead in the first round to Phoenix.
You going to criticize kobe for losing to a 2 seed vs a 7 seed? When Smush Parker was the pg,Kwame Brown the center and Luke walton the pf? LOL

LOL the best PF ever has played for Pop his whole career. Ever heard of David Robinson? Tony Parker multiple All star and Finals MVP? Manu Ginoboli one of the best 6th men ever and multiple All star? LOL Pop never had any superstars.

How many Playoff games did Gasol win before he teamed with Kobe? I can't remember. Surely it was many since he is so awesome.:rolleyes:
