We can't worry about what what Bryant does

Because in the long run, hes going to get his points.

However, if we keep the rest of the team gaurded tightly, we are sure pull out another victory.

If you don't worry about Kobe, he can drop 60+ points on the Spurs and all but win the game by himself. He's that good.

How do you not worry about the best player on the opposing team?

There's a difference between not worrying about Kobe and letting him light you up for 60 and at least worrying about him enough to not give him easy looks and limiting him to 30.

we can live with him making wild shot 3 pointers and contested jump shots. the thing that kills us are the layups and free throw shots. make him earn 60 points the HARD WAY. but i really doubt Bowen and the Spurs will let Bryant get past 45 points with hardly any free throw attempts
