On the bright side, we have Meeks, who's one of the better backup 2s we've had in the Kobe era. So hopefully if we get stops earlier in the game, we won't need as much Kobe in the 4th.
It's an adjustment... It could work... But it won't mean a lot unless the rest of the team focuses more on D too... So we'll have to see what happens over the next couple games.
One thing I'm concerned about is I think this team needs to get into a rhythm, and while I know all the adjustments and rotation changes have been necessary because we've been sucking, I have a feeling this team is never going to get into true form until the rotations are set in stone, roles clearly defined, playing style nailed down, and all that. So along with winning some games, times running out for us to get all that sorted too...
For the record, that's as much the players responsibility too, because these guys aren't playing the same way from one game to the next.
This!!!!! Well said
