watched this season, without kobe, it is hard for me to be engaged with the games :-)
Kobe seems moving well. Of course, he is a bit rusty. It is expected. However, I am not sure how well he recovers from the devastating injury he had. I see a flash of explosiveness. But I am still concerned what he can do and what he can't do.
Apparently, the successful lakers playoff run relies on how well kobe plays. Right now, the team chemistry is good, the guys are playing hard. Inserting kobe into the existing rotation is little bit of disrupting to the existing game flow and lineup. Hope that kobe and team will figure it out soon.
