Landry. If Landry gets to the point where he's going to command a starting job and starting salary, we'll have to let him go. Right now he's the...
Good point. In the time that Battier would get turned around, his guy would be on him. Although, Artest could screen off Yao and get an open shot....
You can take anyone out of the game that you want. You could take Kobe out of the game by "fronting" Kobe, and doubling him every time he has the...
The whole Battier thing got me thinking about cuts to the basket too. Movement generally defeats fronting defense. If you can get something going...
Thats just one of the ways, and it only works when you have a guy like Parker that isn't this stellar defender. I've seen them get Scola an open...
From the Chron: Now, it says we made 3 of our next 12 shots, so we did struggle with the fronting defense. But it goes on to basically agree...
Suddenly we would look VERY scary to the rest of the WC. That would be wins on the road against 4 other WC playoff teams in the month of march....
I don't think this specific win really says anything. We beat a Spurs team that has been playing like crap lately. But its more a symbol for...
We scored 83 points because San Antonio is a good defensive team, it has nothing to do with the fact that they fronted Yao. However, they front...
The sad thing is that if it had gone in, it would've counted. Refs can't do anything about the scorekeeper starting the clock late. They need...
There are two facts I've said before and repeated in some cases that destroy the "we got lucky" theory some people seem to be putting forward:...
Well, yeah. Movement is what beats fronting defenses. When the offense is set, its probably most effective in terms of getting the player you want...
Thats HOW you beat the fronting defense. If they front Yao, you just flat out aren't going to get the ball into him. But if Brooks can get past...
Well, if our offense is good enough to get layups, open shots and free throws against the SAN ANTONIO SPURS, then it shouldn't matter that Yao was...
They were basically fronting him for most if the 4th quarter... and we were able to score on it. Thats beating the fronting defense. What kind...
The Spurs primarily fronted Yao in the 4th, and we beat it. Make them pay by driving to the basket, and finding the open guy. I like how we didn't...
Yeah... that was the 7-8 losses I was referring to. There was Toronto, Washington, a couple of others. There were probably a few losses to good...
Eh... I don't know if you can say that. First of all, the first part of the season, we were actually playing solid basketball. Then there was that...
This year is different last year. After Yao went down with an injury, I don't think anyone realistically gave us good odds to even make it out of...
Yes. And from what I remember, we were in a position where we were a Denver and Utah win from being 1st. But we lost those two games and got 5th.
