Kobe Bryant Scores 38 In Game 1 vs Jazz

Jerry Sloan Is Going To Go With A New Game Plan: Everyone Try Guarding Kobe At Once
5/5/08



A whole 12 minutes into the Utah Jazz second round game one with Los Angeles, Jerry Sloan sounded ready to wave the white flag.

After a 15 point first quarter, Sloan had these thoughts on how he might defend Kobe Bryant moving forward:
"We're going to put everybody on him. Put the whole team on him. We can't match up with Kobe Bryant."
Despite the Game 1 loss, and the 38 points Kobe Bryant dropped, I still think the Jazz have a great shot at this series.

Sunday the Lakers made 38 free throws. The Jazz attempted 30. That's not going to happen in Salt Lake. Nor should it happen again in Game 2, so long as Utah gets aggressive again. Game 1 was far closer than the score indicates.

As far as trying to guard Kobe, I say just let him be. Sasha Vujacic can't be scoring 15 points a game in this series. Try paying attention to the rest of the Lakers.

This should be a pretty good series.  I think both teams can play considerably better so I wouldn't consider game 1 a barometer of anything to come.

I agree with you...I like it that the Lakers pulled out the victory, but they still have lots of things to work on for Game 2...If they would have crushed the Jazz, then the Lakers may have come out flat in Game 2 though...Now up 1-0, Stern will present the MVP trophy to Kobe before Game
