We're playing so much harder with Kobe out. If we can maintain even 80% of this effort, we're the best team in the league. It's almost frustrating them watching them playing this hard.
I stand by my statement. Cleveland plays hard on a nightly basis, the Lakers don't.
We went through this last year, with everyone annointing the Cavs, and you of all people should know how that turned out. While I think the Cavs are a more legitimate contender this year, they're still going to run into issues in the postseason. How quickly people forget.
