Over time I've kinda softened on Kobe. I was pretty critical of the guy. He's still a great player and can lead that team to the playoffs.
Once you get to the playoffs, anything can happen. Another team could get into foul trouble. A guy could get injured. Basically anything can happen.
It seems that lately the more people are rooting against LA, the more I want them to do well, just to spite the haters.
Should be an interesting season. I think we're a month away from the pre-season.
I don't think they're a 60-win team, but do they really have to be?
