Phoenix: a lesson on why we need more variety on offence. When they pack it in against Yao, and he can barely breathe, we may as well move him around, right? I am not calling for using a full motion offence all the time. But we do need a Plan B for when Plan A doesn't work.
Yep, it's official. We live and die by the three. 38 attempts? We start out the game missing threes and they get off to a big lead. Then how do we come back? Make threes. Then after missing more threes and playing mediocre defense, they pull away. DEATH BY THE THREE x( Bonzi and Snyder would be very useful in a game like this in a brutal back-to-back situation. Just not enough energy tonight. It seems the Associated Press wants to give Steve Novak the rookie treatment. "Rookie Shane Novak got his first start for the Rockets, going 2-for-5 for six points." I wonder if they think a Steve Battier is on this team.
We should have used v-span on nash, nash will get his assists but if u try to tire him out we might have a chance to establish yao for points. also start battier PF, its not like marion is a real PF anyway. Yao Battier (Diaw) Chuck Hayes (defends Marion) V-span (this guys know big games, defends nash on defense. Switch with t-mac) T-mac (yes, PG on offense. Make alston in the offense lineup)
