We never fight in equality of conditions without a true center in scene in final moments of the games. He's failing again and again.
He always tries to match up with the oppsing team instead of trying to create match up problems for them. I would rather have had camby or daly in and force haslem to beat us instead of lebron
You think it would be easy for LBJ to get to the rim with a shotblocker in the middle? It would make him work for it.
i don't know if he was horrible but the other coaches adjusted better to his groundbreaking offense. They zoned and we became sitting ducks.
LBJ had one easy layup in the 4th. His made shots were mostly jumpers in Parson's face from 3 and post fadeaways.
Did you see? it took 3 plays of C lee guarding LBJ before Mchale sent back in parsons. 3 plays. it would take me looking down the court and watching LBJ walking up to the scorers table to say hey! Parsons your in.
in fact I would say, Hey parson's ( fist bump *) good job, but when LBJ starts walking to the scorers table just go check yourself into the game with him. " Ok guys lets go" " you can do it guys" "its ok, keep trying guys"
We had demonstrable, quantifiable success with or starting line up. After controlling the game, he went small and eliminated defense down the stretch. Genius.
