It's a big question: How will the Celtics defend Kobe Bryant?
The answer might be… to let him keep shooting.
Regular Season Results
20 Or More Field Goal Attempts: 26-18, .591
19 Or Less Field Goal Attempts: 31-7, .816
Playoff Results
20 Or More Field Goal Attempts: 6-3, .667
19 Or Less Field Goal Attempts: 6-0, 1.000
The more shots he takes… the less the rest of the team is involved in the offense. That means Lamar Odom is more likely to drift off… and the Euros are more likely to whine about not shooting (which makes them more likely to jack up ugly shots when they DO touch the ball).
So keep shooting, Kobe. Maybe we'll get an added bonus of you yelling angrily at your teammates
