How’s Kobe as a PG in our system? Can he stay in front of them on defense? Kobe-Ariza-Odom-Pau-Bynum could be a very long and disturbing lineup to try if only for few possessions.

i cant wait to not be able to see any games at all this year. i miss the tnt gang already

Hey Gerrit, Kurt just said the game will be on nbatv tomorrow. That link you posted, which I’ve bookmarked a month ago, does not have nbatv written anywhere. I was just wondering where I can find a full schedule of specifically NBAtv schedule throughout the season, if there are any. I live in San Diego and wish I have KCAL, but I do have NBAtv.

Don’t get to hung up on who is playing what position, as Darius said the triangle is about flexibility in the offense, which makes it harder to cover.

I think Darius pretty much said it all, but the main thing is this – the only reason we’d consider playing Kobe at the SF is to get what is essentially a 3-guard lineup on the floor, for example Fish and Sasha playing in the backcourt. If Ariza (a natural SF) is in the game, there is no real need for Kobe to play the SF. Offensively, I suppose the SG vs the SF would plug them into different roles in the triangle, and others would know much more about that than me. But my impression is that putting Kobe into the facilitator role at SF is a good option when you have a true scorer at the SG, at least someone who can hit a bucket (like Sasha).

I’m not sure how much Ariza has improved his shot, we’ll all have to wait and see. But my instinct says he’ll be able to improve it fairly easily. Although he may always have a bit of a slow release, if his role is floor-spacer, a quick release isn’t necessary to relieve doubling-pressure.

You’ll just have to move to Sweden – I don’t see KG there; I see a Swedish ad for a job site=)

That shows what TV station the games will be on.

Season is right around the corner!!!
