Bryant struggling with Brown’s blueprint

MIAMI, (Reuters) – Kobe Bryant confessed he was  finding life after Phil Jackson “strange” after the Los Angeles  Lakers fell to another road defeat at the Miami Heat on  Thursday. The team’s top scorer said the Lakers were still adjusting  to new head coach Mike Brown after Jackson’s departure after 11  years in charge and some changes in the roster.  “We tweaked some things offensively,” Bryant told reporters  after going down 98-87 to Miami. “We probably want to go back to some of the things that we  were doing a few weeks ago in terms of some spots I am on the  floor.” The Lakers have struggled on the road and the latest setback  left them with a 1-5 record away from home.  “We are still experimenting, trying out different things,”  said Bryant. “We don’t have any practice time so we are kind of  experimenting on the fly, which we’ve had interesting  conversations about, in terms of trying it on national TV.

“But this is what we have to do, it is a process and we have  got to stick to it,” added Bryant, who went into the game as the  league’s top scorer.
