I appreciate the warning.

I never said anything about 70 games and they dont have to win 70 to dominate. All they need to do is get to the playoffs.

Also, I believe that they dont have to have Kobe to win the championship. If he plays (which he hopefully does) then there is no doubt that they will win it all....if he doesnt play then they always got GP to fill in the role of SG and bring D Fish back to guard. Medvedenko, Rush, and Pargo seem very much improved this year. George will play his role as always. Bryon Russell and Horace Grant are solid vets. Karl will get the boards. Luke will get the open shoots and some passes and they always have Fox to look forward to coming back sometime next year.
