Kobe takes 18 days off. Lakers go 4-1 and there are rumblings that they can win without him.

His first shot back? A 3 pointer while being fouled for a 4 point play.

His last shot? Game winning 3 with just over 4 seconds left.

Wonder what would have happened had he been there for the last second shot against the Celtics? The Lakers can win without Kobe but let's face it, he is the best closer in the game.

and it won't be pretty. But then again she might pass. I mean her last Laker bashing post was after Denver beat LA. If I remember correctly, Denver just beat Cleveland in Cleveland. And didn't Cleveland lose 3 in a row?

Yeah, I figured as much....

The banter is what we are are here for. She really seems to hate the Lakers more than she like the Cavs so I look forward to her comments.
