I guess they figured he was hell bent on passing MJ. And maybe pop figured regression was in order for the supporting cast. I see the reasoning and I wondered the same thing. Poor recognition. But....I bet if they let him operate 1 on 1 for successive possessions and beat green in that mid range area, they would've immediately deployed the double and triple teams again to suppress the lead. Pop has seen it too many times. Only thing was kobe was laboring hard running point and trying to create separation despite the smothering team defense. Makes u think.
