Kobe wants more plays called for him off picks to shoot or get in the paint -- basically make his life ...

easier on offense to score if he's going to sacrifice so much energy on defense for the team's sake. Kobe said he told D'Antoni late in game tonight: "Can't be standing around out here like this all night long." The Lakers expected Miami to trap Nash's pick and roll and stay with Kobe on the weak side, but Kobe wasn't satisfied just being a decoy most of the night. He tried hard to set up Dwight but also blamed himself for not attacking more on his own: "I should've been more aggressive from the start."
