Will teams have an easier time defending kobe since he was exposed in the finals?

Question

i like to see some good answers.

Answer 1

no one can stop kobe, except for his teammates. kobe didnt have a finals series cuz no one helped him. kobe is like michael but more hated

Answer 2

i thought that houstons shane batier did an excellent job in shutting him down, one on one that last time that they played i think that he was exposed by the rockets

Answer 3

no because kobe is a relentless player who thrives for nothing less than perfection he will adjust and make the little changes in his game to up everyone else then its gonna take another more years for teams to figure out how to slow him down again nobody trains and works harder than kobe nobody!!

Answer 4

Well, I think it may give teams confidence in defending him one on one, with multiple players switching up on him,   I think that was the thing that kept him off balance.  But during the season, you just don't have time to build that scheme and of source you have to have the personnel.  Boston was a top defending team all season, and showed it in the finals.  

So, yes, I think it gives teams something to work on.  Instead of elaborate schemes, just 'D' him up and see what happens.  So teams may be looking for that Kobe stopper to get them past the Lakers in the playoffs.

Answer 5

I don't think Kobe was exposed. He'll find a way to get through it. Boston did the same against L:eBron but that didn't work, because LeBron learned how to get through it, faster than Kobe learned. I think it was the players around Kobe who didn't do a good job. Boston stole the finals (even though I didn't want them to win, they defenitely deserved it). You can't expose the possibly greatest player to play the game. If you expose him, he'll just hide again.

Answer 6

No ... because Lakers coaching staffs will work on their offense so they won't be stopped easily again ..

i don't even think Celtics can stop Kobe Bryant again..I'm 100% sure him and his coaching staff will work on how to score on Zone defense

Plus Celtics lost Posey too..

Answer 7

I think teams will learn from Celtics on how to stop Kobe but it's not going to be that easy since those teams don't have the same player as Celtics.

It's all about match up too.  Lakers will match up better against some team and so it won't be so easy.  Kobe will have to find a way to get his team mate involve more but I think he is already trying too hard at that.  Sometime I wish he would just shoot more in the first half instead of trying to distribute the ball.  He need to find a balance between getting his team mate involve and just shoot the d**n ball.

Answer 8

No.  Boston was a supierior defensive team.  it takes a whole team.
