Kobe Bryant is three technical fouls away from an automatic one-game suspension by the league, a reality that is serious enough for Jackson to have spoken to him about it earlier this week. On the other hand, Jackson said some of Bryant’s 13 technical fouls were in defense of other Lakers. “Kobe is the protective top dog for most of his teammates,” Jackson said. “I think he’s gotten four or five of those technicals going to bat for his teammates this year rather than individually complaining about his own situation.”
