Why did the Lakers in 2001 have a worse regular season than the year before? They lost like 11 more games than 99-00, but blew through the playoffs.....did they have injury issues?

im trying to remember who. but I really cant think of any major injuries sustained to that laker team. they just went through periords were kobe tried to do too much which meant shaq didn't get the ball enough and we would lose. people forget with the 15-1 playoff run that laker team also won its last 6 games. they lost one game after april 1st

No injury issues, that was the year the Kobe/Shaq feud really started developing. For most of the year Kobe was refusing to be 2nd fiddle to Shaq. Towards the end of the year he missed several games and Phil's on record saying this is when Kobe realized how good the team could be if he just played within the system. The lakers won their final 8 games that year and then went on to destroy everyone in the playoffs.
