Mychal and Spera made a comment on the radio that sometimes Pau gets frustrated when the ball doesn't come to him and stays on the perimeter when he has good position in the paint - hence, his effort sometimes lags. Of course, Pau has to demand and "show" that he is open since Kobe, DFish and LO definitely wants to get him the ball.
Earlier in the year, they were getting Pau the ball in the low post and having cutters for him to pass the ball. Anybody know why this isn't happening much now?
In the near future, can you image the defensive pressure that can be applied with a lineup of Kobe, RonRon, Matt Barnes, Eubanks and Drew! They can almost switch on everything. |
I'd imagine it's because teams made an adjustment to overplay and front the strong side post entry play so the team is going to other options. You might have noticed they've had a lot of turnovers on that post entry sequence this season. |
Thanks for the 411
Could the Triangle "counters" be
* Have Pau go from strong side to weakside with Drew/LO providing a screen
* High-Low counter with LO passing the ball from the pinch post/elbow
* Lob with either Drew or LO immediately ready for the next pass |

Unfortunately, it seems like found money these days with how passive he's been. Earlier in the season that wasn't the case.

Seems like Kobe and Pau have adopted the old Shaq/Kobe routine of the big man being assertive in the 1st half and Kobe taking over in the 2nd. I'd prefer much more balance between the 2. Pau took 10 shots in the 1st half and 3 in the 2nd. Kobe, 7 in the 1st half and 15 in the 2nd. |
Kobe gets the guys involved early, tries to kill teams in the third and then close the deal in the fourth. I don't have a lot of problems with that, but the offense down the stretch suffers a bit on occasion because we don't vary it (not just because it's always Kobe and not Pau, but how we use Kobe and Pau, too). I think he's done a better job lately in trying scratch a little more earlier in the game. But we're still a bit myopic in our close. |
If Kobe wants Pau to be the Black Swan, couldn't the ball be passed into the post to Pau then out to Kobe to make the defense move? |

I second that. Really bad decisions on O by Kobe this time. No need to start playing one-on-one just for the sake of taking over.
