You watch the Lakers more than any of us....don't you think they had to for us to have any shot at the playoffs?

Resting keeps you fresher during games, which generally leads to better overall play. Maybe he takes a few less defensive plays off instead of using them to pace himself. Plus now he misses the last 2 games of the season. Henry Abbot article about how heavy minutes can be counter productive.

I get that but they have been pretty much been in a lose and go home situation the last few weeks, especially the last few games, and Kobe had been carrying the team on his back. I don't care what Henry Abbot says....this team needed Kobe on the floor or they had zero shot at the playoffs. It was a freak injury and it sucks but I am probably the biggest Kobe fan on here, at least tied for biggest, and I don't blame anyone for this,
