Those 3s don't change the fact that Kobe had a terrible half. No D, poor shooting, and poor passing.

Still, he's very special. Missing all those shots from the start and sinking 2 3s to end the first half.
Fortunately, he's Kobe. No other player on this team would be allowed to do that.

Kobe's earned himself the right have some bad halves....excuses or not. He's taking shots he normally makes, and he's trying to make tough passes in traffic.

Kobe doesn't have any lift or quickness and whether it's the ankle or the knee he needs to recognize that and lead the team in other ways.

Minny is packing the paint, and Kurt knows all the key Tri actions....it's no wonder that every game against Minny is always a grind. The simplistic "dump it into the bigs" isn't going to solve the problem.
