Best Lineup/Tactics?

What do you think our best lineup is?



Post what you think we should go for, Kobe is great, but can make the wrong choices some times I think.

How do I get a Kobe shirt figure in all 5 spots?

Yeah that looks pretty good

LOL, in all honesty I thought this was a good topic.

The Kobe post-up offense has been working well. With Gasol, Howard does complicate things with his offensive shortcomings. I don't particularly like Artest in a starting role.

Nash is perfect roaming around the perimeter. If his 3 point shot gets closed out, he can put the ball on the ground and get the ball to our center (Gasol or Howard) or a cutting Clark. Or Kobe, basically anywhere on the floor.

I really think having a balanced offense dictates our defense. For two reasons

1. Spacing (particularly for transition D)

2. Mental --if we have good offense, and the ball is flowing/moving with rhythm, guys WILL play better D, hustle more, and be engaged. Those who say "they are professionals, that shouldn't matter" well it does and it has nothing to do with the lack of professionalism from our players.

Maybe that in terms of a traditional set.. A little triangle thing going with Nash-Kobe-Howard. If we go P&R we got Clark for the spot up mid-range shot, Meeks/Jamison (pending on matchups) for the corner 3, Kobe on the wing.


Another one, featuring Kobe on the block:


On this one, Nash gives the entry pass for Kobe on the block. Kobe can either take his man, drive to the middle and draw attention from the big so he can kick it to Dwight or pass it out back to Nash if he's doubled. Then Nash has the open 3 or Clark's man is gonna come contest, same scenario for Clark with Meeks/Jamison's man, take the open shot or pass it another time to the open guy.
At the same time, Howard could try to show for a Kobe entry pass further in, try to rotate and make a cut, he'd be a big target and Kobe would probably put it on point.

That's two very, very basic sets I could think of were simple enough to draw on that site.

Jamison, Clark, MWP, Bryant, Nash

Jamison, Clark, MWP, Bryant, Nash

Talking about lineups , I noticed Morris was featured in our 2nd most used lineup this season ... this is the moment I stopped asking myself why our team sucks

Best tactic would be to start over in 2014!
