I think in clutch situations Nash will have the ball and they will try to get Kobe open with some screens or something, should be interesting :D

My Questions/Storylines

- Is Mike Brown the right coach for this team?

- What are the projected minute range per game for Nash and Kobe?

- Is Metta World Peace ready to reclaim his on ball defensive dominance that he once had?

- Will Kobe accept not always having the ball in his hands at the end of games?

- How committed is Dwight Howard really to the team?

- Is Steve Blake and Chris Duhon going to be enough as the backup PG's?

Great Q's.

I would add:

What will Nash bring in regards to leadership and how will that affect Kobe?

Will Kobe set aside personal career goals for the good of the team's chemistry? (No more milestone ball hog games.)

What Pau will we see now that last year's trade debacle is behind him?

How will Pau and Howard really fit together?

Will our bench be enough?

Will DJO take Goudelock's roster spot?

regarding the offense, mike said that it'll be a hybrid princeton offense. first and foremost steve nash will have the choice to get into a p&r every single time down the court. its up to him.
