Which is kind of weird because he's shooting at quite a good percentage this year. It's not like he's having to chuck 40+ times to get there. I think he was something like 17/26 last night against Cleveland. It points to the fact that he doesn't distribute the ball. With Nash out, there is no one to run the offense A basket doesn't count for more if it's passed by Kobe beforehand. He was shooting well last night. no, but Dantoni basically said that "the ball starts in Kobe's hands and ends in Kobe's hands". He clearly thinks Kobe is doing too much. It's also clear that Dantoni wants nothing to do with Gasol
