Good college starter
Re: Why does Old Kobe struggle so much against Shawn Marion
Marion is
1) physically tough
2) above average footwork
3) very long arms
perfect formula for a man to man defender

Matrix owns Kobe and LeBron defensively but he can't contain Lin whatsoever.

Re: Why does Old Kobe struggle so much against Shawn Marion
last year has nothing to do with tonight, last year kobe was so not kobe in the playoff, he wasn't even close to being healthy, it was so bad he couldn't even score a jumpshot over jason kidd, let alone pass by him.
tonight was the 3th game in 4th nights for a 33 year old sg in his 16th season, he was due for a off night and marion got a lot of help by his teemates.
kobe made two great pass in the 4th to give la 93-86 lead, and marion wasn't on him when he missed 4 free throws! he was just tired - 3 games in 4 nights.

I think Marion is smarter than people think. That play in the finals where he took LeBron to the rack and was like BITCH. That probably had more of an effect on him than the D did.

Re: Why does Old Kobe struggle so much against Shawn Marion
Did Marion guard Lebron in the Finals? That would explain Lebron's scrub-like performance.
I saw Dallas doubling Kobe almost every time he got the ball, it wasn't Marion alone...it was their team defense that bothered him. I guess the Mavs theory was that they would focus on containing Kobe and let others try to beat them. They forgot about the two 7 footers. I'm glad because it worked for us...Kobe made the right plays in the end, he only took like 3 shots in the entire 4th quarter but rather got the ball to Gasol/Bynum for better looks (especially in the last minutes)...dumb Mavs. Second loss to us because they were so scared of Kobe. The first one was on a Fisher gamewinner, leaving him wide open to double Kobe.

Are you for real? Kobe goes 4/15 with 7 TOs and he was the reason they won? Because he had ONE 4th qtr Asst and four for the game? I think you are actually counting his misses that were put back by Bynum and Pau.
