    Dang gone high pick and roll. Still killing us. Can you believe the Suns ran it at least 5 straight times. Obviously the way Rudy chooses to defend it isn't working.

    Ughh its like watching the Jazz.

    Every time down the court. Penny, right wing pick set high. Bad rotation and someone wide open.

    Dreamshake,

    Have you thought that you have missed your true calling in life and should have been a NBA coach?

    No, No. Not going to claim I know more than an NBA coach. Its just killing me watching Penny Hardaway and the Suns run the same play over and over and over.

    Did I say over and over. I just want to see Rudy come up with a different way to defend the Pick and roll. I watched the Jazz kill us two straight playoffs due to poor defense of the pick and roll. Its time to finally change the strategy.

    Other teams have had problems defending the Utah pick-and-roll over the years. How much of that is lack of coaching and what can be attributed to players not stepping up and fighting through the pick better?

    Actually as I spoke, Rudy changed the defense of the pick.

    Having the defenders switch. The play was much less effective from that point.

    Ask and you shall recieve. [​IMG]

    Looks as though its too late though

    Maybe they could give you a hotline to the bench so they could get the message sooner.

    I like you Dreamshake and hope that you don't take any of this personally.

    It's not like you have a lot of option's .You fight through or over a pick or else you switch.

    It's not Rudy's fault.These guy's just are not putting forth the effort.I've seen 8 year old girls defence the pick better.

    Penny and Rodgers in together...ugh. Talk about mismatches. Mobes had to take Penny in the 4th, cause our man Shandon had to take the larger Rodgers.

    Still, the refs....i swear....it was the refs!!

    HeyPartner,

    Sure would have been nice to have some talented BIG people to play huh?

    PS. The way Hardaway torched Mobley at will, shows my point about him being a bad defensive player. Where is Rhodrick Rhodes when you need him?
