I bet this is a cute Phil Jackson retort to the Rockets listing Von Wafer out for game 6 and him actually playing. No love lost between PJ and Adelman.
If by game time decision - they mean there's a 100% chance chance that Kobe will play, I agree with them.
These are the typical mind games to try to keep opponents off balance. He's not sick, I guarantee you that. It just allows him to make an excuse if, say, the Lakers don't give us a beat-down like everyone is expecting. It's the oldest mind-trick in the book and there's no way anyone is falling for it.
Some of ya'll just really surprise me. How could you root for a player to break his leg? That's a little low..
Agreed.. that's quite classless.. especially for someone like us, we've been through a lot with our fair share of injuries. We shouldn't be hoping it on another team. Don't get me wrong, I want to beat the Lakers, but I want to beat them legit so then there are no excuses used.
swine flu? watch, he'll be like, oh we play the rockets, its okay, we'll play without me than lakers get blown out by us like we did to portland XD
Guys, it's just mind games. It's a pathetic attempt though, I mean Rick Adelman isn't going to fall for something like this. Kobe has played through the Flu (where he actually threw up during the game) in the regular season.. this "soar throat" isn't going to keep him out of a playoff game. Phil Jackson should have tried something better, Pau Gasol maybe? or even Lamar Odom? It's pathetic attempt, Phil is getting worse at these "mind games".

THIS IS THE KIND OF GARBAGE I'M TALKING ABOUT. THAT TRASHY FAT BELLIED WANNA BE DR PHIL OF COACH THE LAKERS HAVE. ALWAYS STARTS SPEWING CRAP LIKE THIS TOO THE MEDIA. IT'S ALL PART OF HIS STUPID MIND GAMES HE PLAYS. UNLESS KOBE THROAT IS SWOLLEN CLOSED AND HE CAN'T BREATH! HE'LL BE PLAYING PHIL AND THE LAKERS ARE FULL OF FECES!
