I think the Lakers really planned on beating us without Kobe - can you imagine the bragging points? Well we shut those plans down.
And their win in Boston? By one point? With one of our Kobe Defenders (Marquis) still out?
I have no qualms about us beating them without Kobe. I took the win as if they had their full squad. They are now starting to see how we have dealt with our injuries - let see how they can continue to respond.
Kobe is not invincible - he is maybe the best player in the game right now, but he is a year younger than Pierce - and subject to nagging injuries as well. They are due for some.
We have had our stretch of injuries and now we are getting back to near full strength.
It's also funny how nearly every time I visit their blog, they still have heartburn for Pierce's Wheelchair incident in the Finals, lol...they can't let it go.
Out of respect for their blog, I didn't even visit it after our win in LA a few days ago - I'm sure I would have gotten the "Kobe didn't play" comments, so I didn't even bother.
