Yeah I was thinking that earlier. Like I say I have mixed feelings. I think the team would be better down the stretch with better team basketball. Before the Lakers current run Kobe was hogging the ball but he was also not making as many shots as he is now. Then at the start of the run he started passing the ball a lot more and that helped win some big games. Recently he's back to ball hogging again and many times he can do it himself, but to win the huge games as well as keep the team chemistry high, he needs to pass more. The team is young too and the younger players (like Bynum) can use the experience. Passing to Odom, Parker, Vujajcic a little more would be better IMO. Though Kobe should have the ball the majority of the time.
