It depends on the reason that the team was on the verge of not making the playoffs. The reason that the Lakers were on the verge of not making it was the playoffs were the constant injury issues. By the time Kobe went down, they were healthier than they had been all season and were being called by many, one of the most dangerous 7th or 8th seeds in history. Once Kobe went down, so did their chances vs. San Antonio.
Didn't say that they WOULD have won, just that they had a shot at winning.
No worries. I knew where you were going with your statement.
