Bryant struggling with new coach's blueprint

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. Asked whether he meant he had told Brown that the team shouldn't be experimenting in games, Bryant said: "We've had those conversations but you don't have any practice time so there is no other time."
