Thanks for posting those tweets LR
That was a lot more encouraging than Kobe's live interview yesterday on ESPN.
I couldn't tell if Kobe was more doubtful or tempered in his responses. It was one or the other.
From those tweets, I'm going with tempered.
Hey!
I'm wondering what you mugs think the number of minutes Scott will play Kobe on average?
I'm thinking 25-35 minutes but maybe you guys have different numbers or margins.
Thoughts?
First year Lakers coach Byron Scott has consistently said that he and Bryant will work together to keep his minutes lower to preserve him for later in the season and a potential postseason run. The initial conversation about minutes has not yet been had, Scott said. "I expect him to play 82 games and play well", Scott said. "He's a guy who's still going to average 23-24 points per game. The biggest thing is for him to stay healthy and keeping his minutes to a minimum where he can play those 82 games".
"There's no guarantees that I get to play any games this year," he said. "The truth is I have a lot of miles on my back, and a day or two into training camp it could all be done." That's not necessarily the expectation, course. Nash said he was able to return to more typical off-season rituals, and that he felt significantly better than last season. "I felt pretty good all summer this year," he said, whereas last summer I was fighting all summer just to get back on the court."
"I'm just trying to enjoy every moment," he said, "Every day keep building, do what I can to give myself a chance and with a little bit of luck I'll get to play a ton this year and have a great close to my career."

Oh, and I'll explain... I saw you going at it with Cane so I thought it'd be funny to post the question anytime I saw you... Since you couldn't be stalking me if you posted first... Anyway, I'll stop... I'm just exited that the season is starting...

A little giddy?Yeah, apparently I've been stalking him. That was news to me.
We're all getting pumped up for the season here
Polar opposites right?
It sounds like Byron has the respect of all the players. Something D'Antoni did not have.
Well, if you want to be honest, D'Antoni's practice atmosphere is more suitable for in season than Scott's has been in the past. What Scott is doing now is fine for training camp and welcomed. But he has to tone it down during the season because 82 games is too much of a grind. One of the knocks on him as a coach is he's had a habit of burning his players out mid-season with his practice style. So get them conditioned now but he'll need to back off once the season is under way.
Steve Nash on his back and his ability to play this season:
Hey Byron and Bryant I'll just call them BB...
Anyway, since BB are both Champions, dedicated to out working their competitor.
Why wouldn't anybody on this team fall in line?
