^Sounds good in theory, but Ska pretty much summed it up...

We've seen Kobe play for 16 years now. He's not sitting. For better or for worse.

Btw, am I weird for still being optimistic in this team. Not a bit of panic right now.

 

[nermindee]

is it too late to join the "no panic"club?

lets just hope kobe miraculously turns on warrior mode and plays through it soon...

 

[bean pie slanga]

No fear, people! This is what we signed Jason Kapono for!

 

[xsalvioutlawx]

The problem of playing through it is that it can easily get worse.

I'm sure if he plays it will be because it's not that bad where he can't play and will risk making things worse.

If D-12 isn't traded by Jan 1 he loses 25 million dollars....

Net's are "out of the running" after signing Humphries....(can't take hedo's contract back any more)

I bet he is calling up Otis under the disguise of SVG telling Otis to trade him before January 1st

People are delusional if they think he isn't playing on Sunday.  It's a matter of how effective he will be.  Not to mention, driving to the cup should be more problematic, he can't afford another go up and come down on his hands, so he might be just firing jumpers, and that's both a curse, and a blessing, depending on his mood. 

Who cares, even with healthy Kobe, we were losing on Christmas anyways, Santa Claus hates us. 

 

[essential1]

I don't think for 1 second Kobe would sit... I'm saying from a historic standpoint, and common sense standpoint for Kobe is he needs it to heal because when Kobe doesn't allow something to heal it ALWAYS gets much worse..

 

[gllahone84]

at dudes thinking Kobe will sit because of a sprained wrist...not happening.

 

[CP1708]

Think in his thinking though.  Miss 4 weeks regular year, miss 15-18 games

Miss 4 weeks this year, miss 30+ games. 

 

I doubt he's cool with that.  Honestly, I'm surprised he's sitting out the preseason game.  Like come on, suck it up Kobe, you wimp. 

 

[hood17]

Yeah kobe is not sitting down

Like I said earlier, they were fouling the #%** out of him that game. For a pre-season game it was unnecessary smh.

stop it.......Kobe fell hard on the play, it wasn't a "hard foul"

I don't know if it'll be before the 1st, but D12 will definitely be traded before the t/d in March.....if we aren't in the top 5 in the conference after about 15-20 games, i expect movement

 

[xsalvioutlawx]

^ It wasn't. I was wrong. Kobe fell on his wrist after he got blocked from Jordan.

 

[darthska]

So let's see…

… traded for CP3…

… trade canceled…

… traded our most versatile player to the division rivals who swept us in the playoffs and went on to win the championship…

… and got nothing in return…

… no Dwight Howard…

… Jason Kapono & Troy Murphy… :/

… Kobe starts off the season with a torn ligament…

Hell yeah, let's get it!

And no, I'm not all 'doom and gloom' or "The sky is falling." Just effing around.

I hope he sits. Word to spurs in 1997.

I am a HUGE David Robinson fan, but there is NO WAY Kobe could sit out the majority of the season to pull off hopefully getting a top pick and ending up with a tandem like the Spurs had in Robinson and Duncan.

And I'm not dogging Robinson's injury at all; that's my dude.

But for Kobe to sit out a whole season, or even a majority, the injury on the court would've had to have been one of the most disgusting, gruesome things you'd ever seen. I'm talking like, his whole foot just fell off. I mean, just tore off… the whole damn thing. Blood gushing everywhere, his foot's under the rim and his body is up by the free throw line, people on the court passing out.

And even then, the next day, he'd be like, "Yeah, I think I sprained my ankle. I'm probably going to have to sit out the next couple games."

QFT!!!
