Byron on Kobe: "His workload was too much...He had a number & my number was higher. His number was right when I look back at it."
Byron Scott's referring to the number of minutes per game conversation he had w/ Kobe (where the # Kobe gave him was less than Byron's #)
Scott:"I cut those numbers down (past few games) & ever since [KB's] efficiency has been so much better as far as the way he's been playing"
Byron: "We (him & Kobe) both got a real good feel now & we just have to go from this point on. He has proven he has a lot left in the tank."
Byron Scott: "Watching him in workouts...I think I got a little too confident, thinking he could handle those type of minutes."
Scott on the minutes he played Kobe in beg. of season: "I was wrong. His minute number was totally better than what I thought."
"I'm trying to make up for all the minutes I played him early and give him a little more rest." - Byron Scott
Ireland had reported the same thing during camp, Kobe wanted a number close to 30 to ease his way back into basketball.
Byron **** up trying to save his own ass so he didn't get the Dantoni or brown deal, he deserved early on had he not been a former laker
