re: ESPN reporting that Kobe has a torn Achilles

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,
