No, looked like every time Artest would dribble out the clock, force a bad shot or turn the ball over. Please, don't let him run the offense. I really miss a healthy T-Mac.
it's so pathetic to have AB,Ron Von as our "only" option. We have KL, he is a true PG and actually Shane is not a bad passer and has a huge bball IQ. He should be our PG.
It is RA's strategy, Let Brooks or Artest drive for 15 secondes, and then a jump shot or a layup blocked, finally Yao got the ball with five seconds left.
Lowry doesn't seem aggressive enough with the ball in a half-court situation. I'd like him to drive and dish more, but he may not have the explosive first step to do so consistently. Battier can hardly dribble and breath at the same time. There's no way he'd work as a PG.
"Anyone wish we still had rafer and his teardrop??" Nope, but i wish we did trade Tmac for billups+someone.
When's the last time brooks makes plays more than misses/hampers plays? I don't care, let someone else hold the ball more. Let him shoot. And I'm not even talking about down the stretch!
u mean TAKE THE BALL OUT OF OUR "BEST PLAYER" 's HAND? u mean TAKE THE BALL OUT OF OUR "SUPER PG" 's HAND? how could should would that happen?
I don't care whether they go to Yao or not; I don't care whether they only gave Scola 2 shots after he was on fire in the first; I don't care whether Wafer is going 1 on 5; I don't care whether Ron is jacking up crazy 3s. To me right now, it's anyone but AB, I'd rather have the ball in Hayes' hands. Have you seen how badly AB missed? How many air balls can a supposedly can-only-shoot PG take? Have you seen his assists? Lost the ball, picked up on the floor, under the basket, threw up to Yao desperately, Yao made a jumper to beat the shot clock.
Funny, where were all you when he was scoring 50 pts in the first 2 games? Come on..he had a bad game. The team was up 4, when Ron Artest came in the game and the Blazers go on a 15-0 run and Ron is taking over the game. AB is not the problem here. DD
I'm just throwing stuff out, my head isn't suit to be thinking right now: - AB pass the ball earlier in clock - just more team passes - play two-little-guy occationally - play Barry at times - let Wafer go ape with ball - Let Scola hold the ball at the top to wait for play develop -putting the ball on top of Yao Ming's head so no Blazers can touch it without foul him I just don't want that constant dribbling drum.
I was never high on him from Day 1. In game 1, he got away with ignoring Yao for the whole second half, after a perfect first half from Yao. We were always in commanding lead. Blazers didn't come to play, and AB had no pressure on him. His shots were falling. I warned. Game 2, except for those 3 consecutive useless 3s at the end, his game was bad, stats was bad, not as bad as this one, but nowhere near good.
AB. is. our. starting. pg. deal. with. it. no one was complaining after game 1, this is one of those knee-jerk threads.
