Kobe felt very uncomfortable hearing it, what does "struggling" mean? Who does this old cowboy think he is?
But Kobe didn't immediately retort, he didn't want to cause any extra trouble in Game 7.
Phil Jackson thought for a moment, he believed Roger's help defense would be targeting Kobe and Nash, not likely going into the paint.
So the Zen Master knocked on the tactical board: "Next, try to get the ball inside more often!"
During the timeout, Mike Breen was talking about Roger's brilliant performance in the last five minutes: "It's as if we're really seeing a combination of the big three, Roger is like KG on the guard line defensively! Many media outlets predict that Roger might win DPOY this season, and I think he deserves it! The Warriors are one of the best defensive teams in the league this season, and Roger is the best defensive player on the Warriors, he is undoubtedly DPOY!"
Roger didn't care about DPOY, he just wanted to steadily kill the Lakers now.
