kingfish Posted November 9, 2009 Report Share Posted November 9, 2009 You have to double off of someone, maybe even two people. Kobe commands a double team, if you dont double team him, well you are about to go in the history books. Pau showed he definitely commands a double team as well, there have been a lot of times where teams let him go one on one specifically in the post, his moves are just too good, and he kills you every time. The Nuggets tried that philosophy last year in the playoffs I believe, and Pau burned them. So the question is, who do you double off of? Artest has deadly range and the rest are either good shooters or make nice cuts and drives off of doubles teams, especially in the triangle.

Warren2ThaG Posted November 9, 2009 Report Share Posted November 9, 2009 Artest cuz Bryant and Gasol are consistent treats. Odom is in his own world sometimes and Bynum isn't dominate just yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owner Real Deal Posted November 9, 2009 Owner Report Share Posted November 9, 2009 When you have the best scorer in the league and also a post threat, you run your guys off of the shooters. So out of the shooters (Fisher and Artest), you pick the one less likely to make the three, and that would be Ron. Fisher has been doing it for years, especially in the clutch, so there's no way I'm leaving him wide open like that. I really don't know one team that can keep one man on Kobe the entire game. Some would say Battier a few years ago, but Kobe has become numb to that face-guarding crap, and I'm not so sure if there's another single defender in the league that can even slow him down.
