My comments were all about this year. Last year they were a better team. Entire team was a year younger. But most importantly they were much more focused, especially Artes who was a big factor. Kobe is much slower (age/high mileage on knees). No one buys his fakes anymore. No more free trips to free throw line.
Also no home court advantage in western finals.
They will pass the first round, struggle in the second round. I would be shocked if they can win the west.
Even if they do, there is no way they beat Celtics/Miami.
