The Lakers are still a really good team without Kobe.

I think they'd still easily make top 8 in the West. Maybe not #1 but top 4 is def within a Kobeless Lakers.

hmmm can't agree with top 4. I think Dallas, Utah (their current incarnation anyway), Denver and Portland(healthy) make top 4 above them.

Do I also get to arguably include San Antonio also?

I don't know, they have defensive problems for sure with both Fisher and Brown out there (Fisher chasing Allen last night was just hilarious). Offensively though they seem like the 2k Lakers with Bynum and Gasol stepping up.

I'd say they're better than SA for sure (too old), Utah (they beat them already without Kobe recently and soundly too), and Portland (they're aren't healthy).

They're definitely top 4 with only Denver really causing issues.

They had a semi-close game against the Warriors and won that game (yeah, it was against the Warriors, but still), and have only had one true close game so far (last night vs BOS). I think it's a bit early to say that the Kobe-less Lakers squad can't win any close games with such a small sample size.

I mean going back to the 2k Lakers, the people who hit big shots for them varies time from time, it wasn't just Kobe.

Plus Jackson can probably just look into Luke Walton's eyes and drop Zen on him, then Walton will hit a big shot.

Walton is injured again. Back in 2k Kobe had the ball in his hands at the end of most every game, and they also had Shaq in his prime and Robert Horry who was really clutch. These Lakers have a soft Gasol, Bynum isn't a crunch time player, and there is no Robert Horry to save the day.

I know about Walton, just making a comment about Jackson.
Who stepped up last year against the Magic? Fisher. Farmar stepped into his shoes pretty well for one game against the Rockets.
Gasol dominated in overtime for one critical game.
Ariza had a few clutch defensive sets.

Random people step up for them in the playoffs, Kobe isn't the sole person.

Also, Jamison 0-12....blocked 5 times and airballed 2 shots....rofl.

And Collison is flirting with a quadruple double....with turnovers, Kemp would be proud.

What the hell? Howard had 15 pts/15 reb/4 blk/2 stl per game in the finals. Gasol was something like 18/9/2/1. He managed to hold his own, but any all-nba player should be able to do that. To insinuate that he "manhandled" Howard is just stupid.

Dwight Howard got reduced to a taller Ben Wallace in the finals. FG% and turnovers matter...

Game 1: 1 for 6, 10-16 ft, 2 turnovers. So 12 points in 16 possessions?
Game 2: 5 for 10, 7-9 ft, 7 turnovers. 17 points in 21ish possessions?
Game 3: 5 for 6, 11-16 ft, 1 turnover. 21 points in 15 possessions (guess which game orlando won, by the way)
Game 4: 5 for 12, 6-14 ft, 7 turnovers. 16 points in 26 possessions.
Game 5: 5 for 9, 1-3 ft, 3 turnovers. 11 points in 13 possessions.

Meanwhile Pau had 5 turnovers the whole series, never shot under .500,
Game 1: 7-12, 2-2, 2 turnovers.
Game 2: 7-14, 10-11, 0 turnovers
Game 3: 9-11, 5-6, 1 turnover
Game 4: 7-14, 2-4, 1 turnover
Game 5: 6-9, 2-4, 1 turnover

I won't say it was Pau Gasol, but Dwight got manhandled games 2 and 4, and game 1 was pretty bad too. Definitely not what I expected.

You get two foul shots when you are hacked... so idk where these possessions numbers are coming from. Either way, the stats never tell the actual story in how valuable a player was to his team (hustle stats are lost, making a pass that leads to another pass (no ast), altered shots, drawing fouls, etc etc.)
