They've been doing that all year long and tonight was no different. Well, Game 4 was a little different in that the Laker offense worked at peak efficiency. The Lakers are starting to resemble the Chicago Bulls during their championship runs. If you give any decent player an open look at the basket within his shooting range, he'll stand a good chance of making it. Bryant is playing the Jordan role, drawing the attention of the defense and picking out the open shooters as he pleases.
Guys know what their roles are.
It's functioning very nicely right now. Of course, I'm a perfectionist, I still see a lot of room for improvement. Right now their idea of a difficult shot is a slightly off alley-oop pass. Even those aren't a problem. He dished a no-look pass to Bryant on the right.
