Kobe Bryant is still one of the top 5 players in the league (I have him as #3), and the Lakers will probably make the playoffs as a lower seed. With that said, the top 4 teams are much better then them. OKC, San Antonio, Memphis, LA Clippers would all beat the Lakers in the 1st round. I think 3 of those 4 would beat them in 5 games or less.
