Id rather Nash shoot than pass... Terrible D by Patterson to end the half. I fully expect Lin to be significantly better in the 2nd Half. Why does he always spaz out at the worst times?
smack the shiet out of the PGs and the PF/C to defend the Pn'R better. dammit kobe, y u no go into iso mode?
he's running the court with no destination. runs into a group of 4 guys and jumps in the air not knowing if hes going to shoot or pass. he just looks lost every possession he has the ball.
Most PG's can't handle the up-close intense defense. That's when it's important to pass it off or try to draw the fouls. It has to be a team effort to dribble up court then. The Knicks left Lin out there alone vs Miami last year. No one helped him bring it up the court and Miami was playing playoff intense.
Our 2nd halves have been just phenomenal so far. We should be able to pull this out. Just play some D. It's fun to run, but I honestly like defensive games way better...
This is MDA offense vs McHale offense. And we are losing pace against fresh young legs. While both teams are just not playing any good D.
As much as I hate the Lakers, gotta respect Nash. He's still an amazing player at his age. Lose the haircut though. Kobe's playing a much better team game ironically with Dwight and Gasol out.
McFail had benched Lin too soon. Let him guard Nash. He is not easy to be stopped but at least Lin is following him around to exhaust him. As soon as Lin can get a steal from Nash, the flow will be different.
