    Prediction: If Kobe is injured; Lakers start winning games

    if in any event or circumstance, that the Lakers should have to play
    without the services of His Kobiness, watch how they move the ball and start
    winning games..

    we have seen it in years past.. but i think this year it may be more apparent..
    in the pre-season, the Lakers played two full games without Kobe,
    EASILY won the first.. and lost the second in the last minute.

    I look for the same to happen should he be absent.. he is playing too many minutes,
    and running around too hard. This is how the original injury happened.

    Maybe this is Scott's plan? I am sure he knows that Kobe himself is not intelligent
    enough to limit his own minutes, or pace himself for an entire season. All Kobe can see
    is 27 pts that must be had tonight. Even if the exchange rate 1pt = 1 Shot

    Lakers are a far better team without Kobe. Even with Nick Young and Randle out

    Ratzz...That's like saying if he stop eating McDonalds everyday, you might loose weight...LOL

    With Kobe out of the lineup...The Princeton offense may actually be executed the way it is intended to be....Lin will have the ball in his hands and flourish...no different than when the Ball stopper Melo in New York went down...and D'Antoni had the sense to use Lin and let him run the offense....

    Do remember, Phil wanted to trade Kobe for Shawn Marion and Jason Kidd who at the time were specialists at moving the ball and defending the perimeter....and if the NBA were about basketball..Kobe would have gone...but of course its not about basketball, its a star driven league....Bryant was selling tickets...
