stat & Novak is the problem.... Woodson keeps doing it and it keeps hurting them

 

[The Frankman]

okay Prigs that was a bit deep.

When they went zone it was ok.

People talking about Kobe needs to do this more often weren't paying attention. He was doing this plenty while Bernie was the coach. Then D'antoni came in and started running the offense through Morris then Duhon then Nash.

The real damn tragedy is that the other 3 big name players on our team aren't commanding double teams or running the PnR effectively. Nash should be getting 12 assists a game.

Kobe can get assists any game he wants but D'Antoni's system is to use a PG with a big in PnR and use Kobe on the wing.

These last two games look a lot more like the offense LA was running under Bernie which says a lot about how bad Nash has been at running this team effectively or causing defenses to scramble and leave guys open.

 

[Barack Lesnar]

YNB being a fucking idiot is largely what cost OKC the game, you could see their defensive intensity start to slip further into the 4th quarter;

standing around watching neo-Steve Francis dribble 45 times every possession tends to do that

KD was 10-26 and missed a few big shots in the 4th

 

[victreeb3l]

ohhhh...Ohhh...OHHHHH!!! . ....awwwwwww

lol msg is hilarious

 

[K.Jack]

Knicks bench was up 10 points. Should've left them in yoooo.

 

[jjasper]

I think at this point we are just better off not playing Gay. He just mops around all game and doesn't do anything.

 

[KingGondo]

KD was 10-26 and missed a few big shots in the 4th

The only guy on our team who played better than they usually do was Perkins.

And once again, we still could have easily won.

 

[AlphaSnake]

So the Knicks are 5-6 in games amare has played in? Hah.

Wtf? Don't even start that shit. He's been playing solid. He's not the reason the team is up and down. Far from it.

 

[Isak_Borg]

knicks looking decent hopefully wont see a game like last nights for awhile but then again its the knicks they'll find a way

 

[linsivvi]

How the hell did the Lakers win? And with MWP having the most FGA again?

 

[bigboss370]

Kobe assisting isn't going to keep up, not because he'll suddenly start passing less, but because the people he passes to won't be able to finish as well as they have. then he'll start passing less again.

and the past two wins i feel like Metta is not getting enough credit. the guy has been crucial.

 

[The Frankman]

Y'know they can let Felton drive to the rim. He was getting past his man earlier.

 

[Dominican Power]

Felton can't defend worth shit.

 

[victreeb3l]

more of this melo please

carmelo heat check! BANG!

 

[AlphaSnake]

Holy fuck...

 

[Judderman]

Nice Melo!

 

[Zeus Molecules]

3's for days...

 

[Baby Milo]

MELO!

 

[Nori Chan]

Should've would've could've

 

[rando14]

Atlanta is such a sloppy team.

 

[The Last Wizard]

Melo returns

 

[The Frankman]

Carmelo is looking very Olympic out there. But how long can it last?

 

[linsivvi]

Should've would've could've

OKC should never have a team to begin with.

 

[victreeb3l]

why would felton pass up a shot to pass to tyson, who has 4 dudes in front of him? jeez

 

[Randolph Freelander]

Get Redick off the Magic.

10-14 FG, 8-10 from deep, oddly just 1-3 on FT. 29 points, 3rd quarter.

 

[The Frankman]

why would felton pass up a shot to pass to tyson, who has 4 dudes in front of him? jeez

That's the drawbacks of the JANK DRIBBLE. The occasional terrible pass.

 

[LyleLanley]

Just woke up and found out about Rondo. Do we have enough time for a decent tank job?

 

[Butane123]

I'll ignore everything the Lakers did right and the Thunder did wrong and just say that it was the uniforms fault.

Destroy them.

 

[Zeus Molecules]

i didnt know either .... damn celtics...

Also I guess Deron Williams will get to the ASG

 

[Randolph Freelander]

Just woke up and found out about Rondo. Do we have enough time for a decent tank job?

It would take some (lack of) effort, but yes. Start now, and they might slide in behind Charlotte, Washington, Cleveland, and pick a team out west in the lottery pecking order. That's best case. Phoenix, Sacramento, New Orleans, Orlando

They tried this with Kobe and d'antoni too. But teams would ignore Morris And Duhon and it forced Kobe to do too much and get lots of turnovers.

Note how these two games players have been scared to leave Nash and when they do he kills em.

There is a lot more spacing now. Mda did this offense before Nash came back. That said, I don't think this is sustainable. Nash will need to carry more or the load. A key is moving pau more to the elbow in and stop posting up Dwight. That has been more important these two games.

 

[jjasper]

Hollins is being being his usual dumbass self tonight. For some reason he has decided not put DA on Anderson all the time and has continuously had Bayless initiate the offense. Man is a fucking moron.

 

[K.Jack]

Still can't get over Doris Burke accidentally breaking the news to Pierce on live television. So brutal.

Yes..."accidentally".

 

[The Frankman]

Jason Kidd out for the rest of the game with the back.

 

[victreeb3l]

james white is only good for fouling opposing players

Jason Kidd out for the rest of the game with the back.

he should have never played yesterday

 

[Dominican Power]

Dumb ass Knicks

 

[Psychological Intellect]

haha felton

 

[ItWasMeantToBe19]

Don't understand why giri and other guys in this thread love Gordon and Gay so much.

Both guys are the 4th best player on their teams at best.

Austin Rivers actually has realized that he sucks at basketball and tried on defense. He might turn his career around to be the 8th man he has the athleticism to be.

Then again, his FT% is 12 points lower than Dwight's rookie year FT% and he's a SG.

 

[victreeb3l]

fuck cant let korver get going tonight

 

[Vire]

Josh Smith is not a good defender.

 

[ItWasMeantToBe19]

This Pelicans team is going to be great once Davis bulks up into a center and learns how to defend the pick-and-roll.

 

[jjasper]

Gonna lose to the pelicans at home.

 

[jjasper]

Zach still on the bench fucking Hollins.

 

[Baby Milo]

teague is killing us

 

[The Frankman]

That was just a silly foul there. Either contest of let it go.

 

[diehard]

The Hornets and Wizards are actually pretty decent lately.

 

[Vire]

Chandler needs to get in the paint and stop worrying about Horford's jumpshots.

Teague is really hurting them.

 

[jjasper]

I am counting down the days till Hollins is sabotaging other teams.
