Wow now that's how you play ball, even if you're not the most talented team basketball is simple when you just stick to the basic structure of the game.

We moved the ball

Got good shots from context of the offense

Played decent D by limiting penetration and rotated well

Most importantly Kobe played within the frame work, when he does this we're at least a much more competitive team to beat.

Defense wasn't great, but our offense was really fluid. Toronto is a good second half team, just gotta keep at it. Kobe needs to keep playing the role of floor general.

Raptor fan here

Kobe passes the ball a lot more than advertised.

Or is that just against us?

Always been a underrated passer....this team needs him to be more of a facilitator than previous years. He has been a willing passer this season when he finds fit.

Raptors are a 2nd half team. Need a strong 3rd quarter.

Just to set expectations, a lot of the offensive breakdowns and Kobe 'chuckin' comes in the last half of the 4th quarter... So let's see how things go.
Still, it's been a good game so far.

Yep....Kobe probably just jumped in his Ferrari and said, " F it I feel like passing today".

How good would Kobe be if he were a Point? I mean, he doesn't pass much but when he does he's as good as it gets.

Terrible drive by Lin. Easy to be predictable when you attack the basket in slow motion. Guys need to start hitting their shots or Kobe will flip the switch real quick.
