I dont think he's playing tonight especially with a back to back.
Kobe should sit the first two and come back Fri.

not buying the "foot" story
Im thinking kobe been sitting out in order for the guys to mesh better in practice.
Kobe's a notoriously nasty practice player...he will absolutely demean x belittle you in practice for the sake of getting things right/winning. (destroying what little confidence you had already
)
That can be intimidating, on top of the fact he is who he is, im pretty sure it has alot of guys walking around on needles, "over-thinking" trying to not mess up.
basketball isnt really "fun" in lakerland, its serious business.. it starts and ends with kobe. Dood has set a certain type of no b.s. tone over here in LA, it hampers alot of guys from coming here and submitting to that.
Most players are used to just going to practice kinda running through the offense and a mediocre scrimmage followed by daily dunk contests and 1 on 1 games after practice is over. I dont see that type of environment over here, never really have. I think thats a part of why alot of guys get traded over here and don't live up to their games....
it may sound cliche` but doods is JUST about winning over here. Thats it.
just my thoughts

^but if you know Kobe as a player, he doesn't sugarcoats anything.
So when he tells the media he's hurt then it really means he's hurt.
Trust Kobe wouldn't sit out practice just for the other guys to mesh.
It's a new team... He still needs to mesh with other players too.

Kobe should rest. It's going to be a long season.

Kobe should rest but I doubt he will.
Dude has the warrior mentality and has the attitude where if he does not play he feels he's letting down the fans who paid money to see him play at Staples.
He's no different from Jordan & Magic who had the same approach and attitude.

"Don't ever talk about Mike Brown"
"Stop complaining about Mike Brown"
"Stop talking about Mike Brown"
"Shut up about Mike Brown"
*insert Mike Brown meaningless factoid*
gonnabe like that alllllllllllllllllll season
Dont talk about mike brown. this is a team game.
lakers win by 26 points.
"will you guys give mike brown credit now?"
lol was like that last year.
soon as the lakers win big or go on a win streak mike brown gets all the credit and the "haters" get bashed...

Good luck tonight, and best of luck for yall this year. I'll probably poke my head in here every week since Nash is my favorite player and they'll be on TV every other day.
Can't wait to watch Nash/Dwight on a nightly basis.

No offense but - don't be such a conspiracy theorist.
These days Kobe is in IDGAF mode. If he really wanted to sit out to let players mesh, he'd probably just come out and say it

I can't believe this is Kobe's 17th year in the league.... That **** makes me feel old :x
Hopefully this is the start of a great run and another banner hoisted up in the rafters
Let's remember to remain positive and realize that this is an incredibly long season, so don't expect things to just happen overnight... Come April, we'll be right where we need to be.
