Lakers should play Kobe at the Point More

[sammichoffate]

That's on the coach to make the adjustments though. I'd have no problem with Kobe being slotted as a point guard, but I feel like he'd get run to the ground like in 2013 with nothing to show for it.

Yeah, Scott's gotta find a way to play him less than 36-37 mins a game and still find a way to win.

Why have Lin if Kobe has to play the point? It's way too tiring for him to do that and score a lot

In this case, I agree...Lin is more of a shooting guard in a point guards body anyway and Kobe is a better ball-handler...

That was a hell of a game by both teams. Lakers will definitely have more games like those if Kobe gets to facilitate instead of chucking or trying to bail out the team at the end of the shot clock

Kobe's not chucking because his teammates were making shots. If they can't make shots and down big, he's gonna chuck.

Could Kobe ever string together double digit games of averaging a triple-double at the point?

in his younger days ? if he wanted to, for sure.

During his 02-03 season (same season he busted MJ's ass for 42 in a half), was an assist shy of 3 consecutive triple doubles.



He had 2 more triple doubles about a month later.. http://www.basketball-reference.com/.../gamelog/2003/

You mean when he busted other Wizards players? How much did MJ guard him that game, especially considering MJ played small forward when he was with the Wiz?

And I was wondering if he could have average a trip-dub for at least 10 games.

Relax brah.. no need to get defensive.

He asked a legit question...You're the one who said he "busted MJ's ass" so its on you to prove it if someone questions you about it.....

Michael didn't guard Kobe in that game. lol

It's unfortunate that MJ had to hide behind his teammates.. you know then and there he missed the days where he could call Pippen to save his ass from embarrassment.

....right.
