alcstarheel Posted June 6, 2010 Report Share Posted June 6, 2010 Get this guy out of here. If he thinks it's that easy to stop Kobe then he's just dumb. Kobe'll score within the offense when necessary. It just wasn't necessary in Game 1. And he's looking at this in hindsight. Try game planning against him on the fly.

JWaLL Posted June 6, 2010 Report Share Posted June 6, 2010 Get this guy out of here. If he thinks it's that easy to stop Kobe then he's just dumb. Kobe'll score within the offense when necessary. It just wasn't necessary in Game 1. And he's looking at this in hindsight. Try game planning against him on the fly.He's coaching how to make Kobe's shooting more difficult. I can see what he's saying, and Perkins and Garnett are strongly to blame for Kobe's seemingly effortless drives to the hoop. Perkins struggles to read pick and roll directions and, as shown, finds himself either on the wrong side or completely out of the proper defensive formation. They need to work at hounding Kobe when he is the one bringing the ball up the court. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owner Real Deal Posted June 6, 2010 Owner Report Share Posted June 6, 2010 LOL. "When Kobe brings the ball up the court, he's just gonna shoot it." Are any of you seriously going to listen to this ridiculous [expletive]? Ever heard of Tom Thibodeau? That's the guy coaching the Celtics' defense. But I'm assuming this guy is "so smart" (as he claims, he just can't believe how smart he is) that he probably needs to be the one coaching, instead of a great defensive mind like Tom. Please.

Owner Real Deal Posted June 6, 2010 Owner Report Share Posted June 6, 2010 Speaking of bringing the ball up and shooting it each time he does, maybe he should take a look at that Phoenix game Kobe dropped a playoff career high in assists in. Basketball isn't that simple. There's a reason why this guy is on Youtube and not spreading his amazing knowledge to professional players.

Flight Posted June 6, 2010 Report Share Posted June 6, 2010 I'm surprised he didn't suggest putting all 5 guys on him. Hell, he won't score if he's quintuple teamed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alcstarheel Posted June 6, 2010 Report Share Posted June 6, 2010 Obviously he knows that you can't stop him.The point is to make it difficult for himHe titles the video "The Secret to Stopping Kobe" toward the end And he's only showing the makes and saying Kobe shot it every time he brought the ball up, which is just not true. This guy will get a lot of hits to his site wi people saying how retarded he is and how smart he is not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erick Blasco Posted June 6, 2010 Report Share Posted June 6, 2010 It's the rhetoric that I can't stand from this guy. He's insights are usually sound, and I have him bookmarked, but he presents everything in a way where players are awful, or that the game is simplistic, or black and white. He's also self aggrandizing and would easily be tuned out by players. If he wants to say that Kobe will usually abort the offense when he comes up the court is one thing, though an early offense brush screen isn't really aborting the offense. He says these things like nobody sees it, as if he's some genius that only recognizes that Kendrick Perkins had an awful game defending screens, or that KG's help was consistently late. Doubling Kobe if he brings the ball up the court in a scramble situation may have its benefits. The Lakers don't usually go into their triangle after missed shots and play a little bit more scattered. A flash double may result in someone else trying to make a play they aren't accustomed to, or time to set up the triangle or a Kobe screen/roll or iso. It's not the worst strategy, but it also leads to a defense playing three-on-four, and a defense that often isn't set since Coach Nick is talking about Kobe bringing the ball up after misses. It's a last-case-scenario defense. Pierce and Tony Allen had some decent success on Kobe, and Pierce has pretty good history defending Kobe, all things considered. Why don't you try that, with more minutes for Rasheed Wallace to defend screens? Why don't you instruct KG to cheat his help defense quicker because of his diminished quickness, and tighten up interior rotations? There was an easy missed layup in there, but Kobe WAS 1 for his first 10 in isolations. The Celtics don't need to throw in the towel yet.

Lemon Posted June 6, 2010 Report Share Posted June 6, 2010 sounds like a Celtic fan frustrated at his team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
