I still haven't realized Dwight Howard and Steve Nash are going to wear purple and gold.

What's your take on Lakers running princeton offense?
I can't see it working for us.

1/3 princeton
1/3 triangle (probably later in the season when nash/howard have a better concept of it)
1/3 improv + fast break etc (lolfastbreak2kobeknees)

There's just no way Princeton is going to work for the Lakers with the guys we have.
It'd be sick if we actually managed to get Phil back.
Kobe knows it.
Pau knows it.
Howard and Nash could learn it.

well theres 1 gaping obstacle for a truly high volume + efficient dosage of princeton O, and thats resides on kobe committing. something hes never really done over the course of his career.
sure, ofc he can pass (and do it as well or more athletically than most, spoon feeding bigs etc) and ofc hes got good cuts (backdoor oops hes damn near perfected.)
hes just never really done those types of things game in and game out every night.

also considering hes become more of a spot-up recipient on the block for the majority of his looks the last few years. that notion (iso) itself essentially coincides with the princeton O's principles.

i think he can figure it out, if thats what the coaching staff opts for. but i imagine kobe will push hard for a lot of triangle exercises and executions in game. nash is one of the smarter players offensively in the last few decades.
a lot of people have said the same about dwight.

is there really chatter about the zenmaster coming back? rofl?
if so u can lock the lakers for a 3peat

I just can't see Kobe doing screens for his bigs or anyone to be honest, unless it's on a game winning play or in the 4th rofl

He has said he stopped taking charges because it takes too much on his body nowadays, same with screens rofl

I still think they underperform during the regular season.
