Thanks for the Mamba Motivation ESPN 
He's going to be pissed at 12, and work us into the 11.
He's going to come back sooner than anybody, no doubt in my mind. He has the best trainers and drugs around. But he is going to over-compensate for that ankle. And it will cause his opposite knee, or hamstring, or quad or something to go lame, and it will hinder him as much as the achilles itself.
And on top of all that, he won't be able to give 40 minutes a night anymore, which hurts as much as anything.
He'll steal a game here and there like always, but we won't be able to escape what's coming. Younger, faster teams are still out there, and there is zero fear of our mystique at this point. Teams will pound away at Nash and Pau on defense, as well as Kobe's limited mobility/footspeed and will simply grind us down.
We'll scrap. Lot of heart and pride on this roster, we will fight. But in the end, cream always rises to the top.
All I can hope for is everyone stay healthy, and give it our best shot. Give everything we got, see where we are come Feb. Then, either break it all down at the deadline, or maybe try to steal a piece and maybe make a run at something bigger. We'll see.

You just had to add a negative vibe to the tweet didn't you.
Sheesh. Couldn't even let us enjoy a motivated Kobe for 10 minutes.

Phil's tweet is so serious. He probably thinks Kendrick Lamar is a athlete.

Right on cue
it's like our hope is his bat signal and he won't let any seeds of hope be planted. On the real I thought u had us around 7/8 don't let's espn add fuel to the pessimist fire lol.

Just can't see this team fall back to 12th with Kobe/Nash on it.
8/9th place it is.

6th-8th seed depending on health. If LO signs and pringles isnt canned(no pun)..slightly better odds. If LO signs and pringles is canned for phil...5th seed...also contingent on health.

similar projection as yours. don't see Phil coming back, but i've got my fingers crossed for LO (Ireland on 710 apparently said we're still looking into him). anything below 8th is insulting. 12th, though?
12th?!

I said 7-8 was best case.
10-12 most likely.
