Byron Scott to Kobe, Defense... 'Be Ready!'

Byron Scott tells Kobe Bryant and Lakers 'be ready to play some defense'

Kobe must be thrilled...

I like this new role for Kobe.

Good defense, always leads to good offense.

KB could just get more than his share of dimes if he wants to change his game up a bit.

Is he going to start running some Pat Riley-type practices?

Scott is a Riley protege, won't shock me at all.

The Lakers need discipline after the fiasco last year with Don'tknowi running the show. B. Scott is going to toughen some of these guys up and as a team they will play better team defense then they have played the last three seasons.

Dantoni will get another job but he is looking like a mediocre coach at best after his last 2 stints. Hard without a 1 time mvp and future hof pg in his prime running the show.

Loving this coaching hire. Dude is a lifetime Laker with an Old School mentality. Kobe is old school and loves a challenge. I think he will embrace Scott, and the rest of the guys will fall in line.

Right again HizzleRocker!!

Actually he is going to run some variations of the Princeton Office which as we remember Mike Brown trying to run. Hopefully Byron will have better luck with that.

You are being far to kind - he is a shitty coach - no coach that has a brain would have played Kobe Bryant 48 minutes like he did. That was totally unacceptable and he set Kobe up to get injured. Wouldn't surprise me if he did it on purpose and sabotaged the Lakers on person for revenge.

He'll be running different offences to suit the style of the team. Mixes of the Princeton, triangle and Rileys 'Magic' system.

This is what I like. He doesn't seem like he's "married" to a system. It almost sounds like the offense will adapt to the players on the floor.

When it's the older guys like Kobe, Boozer and Nash, it's the more deliberate Princeton hybrid and when the young guys are in, let 'em run.

Baby B is gonna be putting in the work. 16-18 hours a day. You know he'll be putting his heart and soul into getting this thing turned around.

I wish we had a shot blocker down low. Not sure if Hill can be that guy, but so far our team actually looks pretty deep at every position, and some of these guys can play multiple positions. Hopefully they stay healthy.
