The Wiz should play Kobe straight up instead of doubling him. I'd rather let Kobe get 50+ points and have his team stand around watching him, than let him get all his teammates involved by passing out of the double teams. Memphis beat the Lakers the other night by allowing Kobe to get his but by shutting everyone else down. The Wiz should do the same.
ya i agree but kobe hasnt been doubled all night. imo i thought there were many plays where ds played him straight up and did a good job getting a hand in his face. what bothers me is every wizards defensive possession, all 5 wizards get sucked too deep into the paint that when there is a drive and kick out, its too late to get back out and cover the open shot. i dont understand why they do that when there are 4 players floating around the 3 point line while 1 player drives and dishes
