Why not Kawhi on Kobe the whole game?

[Please_dont_ban_me]

My theory: Pop doesn't want Kobe to figure Kawhi out. Not that he would...but the more Kobe sees a great defender, the more he's able to figure what works and what doesn't. Maybe Pop wants to save Kawhi for later in the year on Kobe?

I'm ok with Kobe chucking and disrupting the flow of the Laker offense. Pop then threw a curve ball anyway at the end by making the switch.

A KB like last night is not that detrimental to the Spurs. On the contrary, a KB with 10-30 FG, 14-15 FT is very dangerous even though statistically he is more efficient in last night's mode.
